There was just as much negativity towards CX in fragrant harbour in 2009 as there is now (and many of the same posters still beating the same drum). The forum has always been somewhere to vent for pilots with a bone to pick with the company. In 2009 it was COS08 which was being derided as a contract that was not worth moving to HK for, just as is being done with COS18. Just as many people moved over for COS08, many will move for COS18. The reality is there aren't many companies who offer employment to those with low to medium hours (250-1500 hours) without having to pay for a TR.
Take what you read on PPRuNe with a fairly large grain of salt, there are a fair few unhappy pilots at Cathay but the hatred expressed by posters on Fragrant Harbour isn't representative of the wider pilot body.
