If you want to check outthe salaries and compare with CX, go to <a href="http://www.flying.to/dpa" target="_blank">www.flying.to/dpa</a> (excuse the banners).. You will also find links to supermarkets, real estate agents etc to compare cost of living.
Basically speaking, 15% less salary than CX, no pension fund, no rostering agreement and continual attacks on conditions of service by management.
Commands are fast, under 2 yrs for an A320. Destinations are mainly China.. .Flying is around 70 hrs month average.. .Nights away vary but 6-7 would be realistic.
