Welcome to cx
You've made a great decision to come to cx.
On your first day, you'll be issued a company Breitling and given keys to the flat of your choice.
The flying is incredible too, you're gonna enjoy sitting in the dark for hours on end. At least you won't have to worry about getting tanned.
The people are really nice. Flights attendants are great, their English is high class. Management are always compassionate if you are having issues. Feel free to tell the medical department anything, they have not been known to throw a temper tantrum over small things like taking vitamins.
Take a nice deep breath of the fresh air.... Full of carcinogens and msg.

Ironically, this is the same advise that was given to Time2Win.
Ironically he never got the irony and joined anyway.
My advise;
Follow Time2Win's actions.
Assess your options.
Discover there are none.
Join and enjoy being pimped out by all and sundry as the latest warm arse on a seat.
And Time2Wn is right. The cabin crew won't respect you either.

Look, current upgrade to to is looking to be above 6 years, the company is pleading a huge financial meltdown and asking for pay, conditional cuts. You'll be stuck flying in the middle of the night as reflief pilot , it's going to be worse then what they are offering now and the guys who joined before you last year all have a 1million hkd bonus which was cut out in January. Stay away, look with that much time your over qualified for Cx. How ever much your current job may suck, at least your home and can continue to build your life in your home country.

Thank you guys for the information, it has definitely been eye opening. Cx told me that it would be about two years from so to fo. Haha
I agree with my experience I can find something better than a relief pilot gig.

Here is something to change your mind.. ... time swim across the Pearl estuary to the mainland.. for some $$$$..
Pilot pay and pensions targeted as Cathay Pacific looks to slash HK$1 billion in costs
Memo discloses almost half of company’s HK$19.7 billion spending on staff costs last year was on pilots – who represent 14.6 per cent of the workforce

The bigger point should be this: what is the AOA doing to publicly and factually counter the distorted and aggressive misinformation that the company has just produced? We should be spending our time and money on proper PR to counter such abject lies and distortions.

Those of us who have been here a long time have seen all this before. The company will next put an article in the SCMP disclosing the average salary a CX pilot gets per year. They will base this figure on the most senior captain in the company and the figure will include housing, education, 13th month, overtime etc etc. The article will say the 3.3 million dollars is what pilots make at Cathay. When this article goes to press ( and it will ) the general HK public will have zero sympathy for our cause. In fact you will be challenged in bars and clubs by strangers who will think you are greedy over paid etc etc.
I personally don't care what they think but a media war cannot be won in HK. So let's just do want we can to save our careers.
