i guess what some people don't realize is that the golden age of flying is long gone. Your long stayovers, great roster and great pay is part of history and a dream. Everything nowadays is about OTP and money.
I know plenty of pilots happy to what they are doing, happy to be a paid pilot, and many pilots who would love to get into an airline.
You knew Hong Kong before you decided to work here. You knew the pay as well. Though I can agree with the A scale that it is quite a big disappointment to take a pay cut, I still say you are making way more than a lot of others.
In this world today, with so many redundant air crew and so many fresh starters, everyone is replaceable. Stop whining, enjoy what you are making and doing and help the company you work for get out of the dirt.
Like what 411A and others have been saying, LIKE IT OR LEAVE IT. The choice is yours.
