Mates of mine still at Cathay are only there because (1) too old to start over, (2) spouse has high paying job, (3) kids finishing up school, or (4) wrong passport. A few are probably too scared to start over (sunken cost fallacy).
NO ONE has stayed because it’s a good gig, because it sure isn’t. The fact your pilot recruitment team has to run roadshows around the world speaks volumes. Wasn’t necessary before.
