...and you'll need that 'good deal' (do an internet search on the cost of living, housing and education in Hong Kong) because a new-joining DEFO will be on the bottom of a seniority list of approximately 3,200 pilots which will affect command training and staff travel priority. Commands are running at far less than 100 per year. Do the arithmetic. The airport is becoming slot-limited and Cathay Pacific is a one trick pony in its only hub. Crew - management relations could be described as 'poisonous'.

And among the SOs, on their own crappy deal waiting for their upgrades, you will be about as welcome as a bacon sandwich at a bar mitzvah.
