No contract , only a handbook that can change on a whim. No stability for pay , 50% productivity based pay which means that the months that you work low hours , it will be difficult to make ends meet. Told you’ll be operating long haul at the interview only to be shoved on a narrow body when you get to HK. 3 year bond means you will be missing opportunities in other parts of the world that pay better and have union protections unlike in HK.
Affording a place bigger than 400 sqft will be difficult on that pay but if you are young and single … and don’t hope of starting a family anytime soon , it’s ok.
Finally , HK as a city is struggling to get back to where it was. The local economy is in tatters after Covid and establishments are shutting down every week due to poor demand.
The pay structure in cathay is not fixed and they can change it whenever they want….
come at your own risk.
