I appreciate it will probably come at a cost, but I want to double check as the rellocation companies out here are quoting me extortionate fees!
We lost it at the death of COS99/08, only option back then was 50% of your total allowance, which plenty did in the final days of Cathay Version 1. We now work for Cathay Version 2, so along with the 41% paycut that was mentioned as a hurrah in a recent crew update, we don't get a repatriation allowance. There is no longer an expat contract at CX, if there was a widebody Captain wouldn't be on half what Korean pay.
And don't look at where you'd be if you'd turned them down and had done 20+ years at your own legacy carrier instead.........
