Not as much before I agree but here in the US the moneys not as good as y'all think. I did 21 years in CX, was mostly 777 then went to the 747. Many of us left and came to the US to a 747 operator and had to go right seat. We were promised commands again within a couple of years and some good $$, so I took the shot and went for it. But that was hogwash as commands have not materialized, we are still FO's and the pay is not what we were promised. Some have gone back to CX but had to go back on the 747 which some of us refuse to do. I have read other posts where CX want a lot of folks on the 777 but is forcing previous guys and gals back to the over-crewed 747 fleet. It may not be fair to other pilots, but when was CX ever fair? It's a good idea in an ideal world, but does Cathay want to expand the airline or not?
