This is getting uglier by the minute. The advantage of NAS is that you will have a commutable schedule. The disadvantage is that you will have to go through training for a new airplane. If you are waiting for CX in 2010, then go to Qatar. You will be on an airplane you have already flown and are current on. The 12 months or more will pass pretty quickly and then in 2010 if/when CX does call, you can make your decision. If you have been an airline guy all along I think you will find the airline schedule a lot better than any corporate or fractional outfit. Best wishes, either way.
