Question Some quick questions about Cathay

I have a few questions about Cathay. I posted them on the Wannabies forum but nobody has answered them yet.


1. I think I read something that indicated you must move to Hong Kong in order to receive a Captain bid. Does anyone know if this is true? I woud like to get hired into the ANC freighter domicile and fly the freighters there for the rest of my life. Will I have to move from ANC to Hong Kong when accepting a Captain bid, only to move back to ANC a few years later to finish out my career? Or can I just upgrade to Captain in ANC on the freighters and never leave?

2. Does anyone know if any of the current hiring for direct-entry F/Os is for the ANC freighter base?

3. I saw a reference to someone retiring at age 55. Is it a requirement that pilots at Cathay retire at 55, or can they go to age 60 like we can in the States?

Thanks for any info you can provide.
