Cool Are there many "Yankee" pilots at Cathay Pacific?

I have a couple of questions about CX.
(I already read the CX postings on this website...mostly negative stuff)

1. Are American pilots welcome at CX?

2. I heard there is an age limit on S/O hiring... this true?

3. What are competitive mins?...CX website
published mins are 1000 fixed wing for S/O's
Are they hiring any S/O's near min. times now-a-days?

4. I heard the medical exam is tough...any truth to this?

Basically, I'm a CFI instructing on the west coast. My times are 650tt/60multi. I'd like to go to Cathay Pacific for the experience of living in H.K. and being able to fly nice equipment to exotic places...just one of those life experiences I'd like to try out while I'm single. I'm 32 years old...so the rumor on the age limit for S/O slots concerns me. I assume they are hurting for pilots like everywhere else.

Thank-you for your time!
