Flights have been leaving with 2 SOs?
That's crazy.
No 13th month would just be fantastic wouldn't it. How is one supposed to pay their tax bill? New joiners like myself already don't get pro-rata profit sharing which is annoying, seeing I was here for almost all of this year...contributing to the profits. No-one seems to care though, as most crew qualify, having been here for a while. Setting up in HK on your own is not particularly easy.
Before I joined, I would have been quite happy to help the company, thinking that helping them would mean helping myself and everyone else, but I realised that it just doesn't work that way. There's no incentive for us to help on our Gs etc..at all, so why bother? We get no acknowledgement for it at all, and get screwed in the process!
