Guru; If you are from HK and you really like the idea of flying for THE Hong Kong airline (sorry KA) then by all means give it a try. Just make sure you have whatever you studied at uni to fall back on. I think you should look carefully at the thread that discusses LEPs (locally employed pilots). I for one certainly would not choose this career under those conditions. The only things that make CX pilots lives bearable in HK are the expat benefits (housing, schooling etc) that LEPs don't get. Think about it.
