There are perks in most good jobs. I suppose the boys and girls at Emirates should be thankful for the chauffeur perk. Our cabin crew should be thankful for the taxi provided if they land before 0530 local. We the good pilots of Cathay get neither.
The perks for a Cathay pilot have been purposely withdrawn bit by bit over the past two decades. At one time it was the best pay/perk package available...whereas now we are told we must be paid as “benchmarked” against the local low cost carriers.
We’re not even bench marked against our sister airline at Dragon...no Mam, only low cost carriers will do now days.
Can you imagine the howls of laughter on the ninth floor if we asked for a chauffeur service to/from work....
