Pretty well defines the outrageous travesty that CX has become. They provide a description of an airline/career, that upon arriving in HK you soon find was a fictional construct that bears no relation to reality. Examples:
1) basings - in name only. in reality they stopped years ago
2) childs education - they don't mention the astronomical debenture costs to get your child a place in a proper school
3) staff travel - they don't tell you that it's almost inaccessible, and the cost is prohibitive for most of the staff. Your FOC's are a cynical joke, and worthless
4) career progression - constantly changing the goal posts, thereby making any planning a guessing game at best
5) medical care - constantly reducing the benefits to the point that most pilots are having to find their own coverage
6) housing - inflationary housing costs with no increase result in marginal housing expectations in the most expensive city in the world (but our managers live lie kings...and the odd queen)
7) retirement - non-existant, as you will barely be able to pay your bills each month, especially if married and/or have children.
So...continue to join this wonderful little unicorn of an airline called CX, and be the latest to find out that you joined a completely different company than the one you thought you were joining.
