Once upon a time it as the Rolls Royce/ Gold Standard/ Rolex of airline jobs. And Honk Kong was a great place to live. My biggest disappointment was in 1991, when I failed my 2nd Cathay interview.
How the mighty have fallen. And what a sad, sad story it is. How did it come to this? ( I actually know the answer .. Bean Counters took charge.. who know the cost of everything, the value of nothing, and have no idea about aviation). And a few at the top, sold themselves for the money.
