Why do the same sorry few write the same sorry stories about Cathay. I have friends flying all over the world in most of the main airlines. From what they tell me CX is no better and certainly no worse than most other places. I have been here a long time. The Company ALWAYS helped me when I really needed it, bereavements etc. I will show loyalty to them just for that fact. I can assure you that CX is still providing support to all workers when they need it. It's about time the wingers left and we sorted out the differences between us and them. I am happy to take a little pain for longer term gain. You think the sand pit is better mha ha ha. An expat lifestyle can be a joy, it all depends how YOU approach it.
