What is sad is that many cathay pilots have difficulty seeing what they have. I sit and compare notes with other airline pilots and they are mostly envious. There are many different salary scales in Cathay. A, B and Freighter/Cargo some have called C scale. I would have to say that the majority of the unhappy campers are B scale or the youngest A scalers. People who live in the past and wish they had what they don't have are never happy.
Funny, the lowest paid pilots in Cathay are the happiest. I guess the glory days of Cathay were so long before their time that they don't bother thinking about it.
