If you're going to be in HKG anyway, why not. With your experience I'm guessing they'll put you on a wide body, could be any of them. Putting you on the 321 just robs sectors from pilots coming up from the cadet pathway. Even CX can see that. Maybe they'll offer you Express with quick command. I haven't heard a good Express story yet, but who knows, might work for you, I'd dodge it. The secret of HKG is to come from somewhere pretty awful, like England, makes it much easier to settle. The problem is you'll be signing up to an amendable handbook, not a contract. That's the wild card. It could end up anywhere, and they are stacking the ranks with locals who'll be less inclined to move along as it continues to spiral down. Half of CX's pilots have left voluntarily since a take it or leave conditions of service was dumped in our laps deep in covid. You've been told, CX has form, that is easily researchable. Can you move off the 321? Only one accurate answer, maybe. Re target hours, pax wide body doing 800 plus hours a year. Others, not so much. It's gamble only you can make. Welcome to CX.
