USM. As someone who has spent the best part of 1 1/2 decades working for CX I do not think it would be unreasonable if I owned a second home (I do) or a boat (I don't) or third car (I don't). Go and have a chat with any senior BA Capt or UA or AA doing the same job as me(TRE/IRE), and you will find they are much better off, and with better rosters, and a better future to look forward to. I work for a first tier carrier, and yet you and your ilk, want to deny me and my colleague's a first tier salary. How can you justify your anti CX pilot comments? If you feel generally that pilots get paid too much, perhaps you should say so on the rumours forum, but it would appear, by being here, that it is just CX pilot salaries you object to. Can you justify your comments? Or are you just another angry anti Cathay Pilot person?
