I'm also glad it's worked out for you. You made the decision to move for whatever reason/s and it's worked out. A move nearer to 'home' maybe? As many have said and done before, if things really are that bad and you can find better elsewhere, then go. That applies to any job. I have family in HK so know what life is like there. Some love it, others don't. I'm the latter. By the way, I never started the cost of living debate. I merely stated that regardless of how much extra you can save, Cathay is not for everyone.
Out of interest, how much of a property does $1 million buy you in HK? 2/3 bedroom apartment? good location? Not a 5 bedroom 5000 sq ft villa with pool and garden. I know which my kids prefer and that's why i'm here. I'm not in competition with anyone as to who earns the most (I'd lose anyway), just trying to offer the best for my family. In my case, that's Dubai. For now, anyway!

Yes, we'd all like EK to be 'THE' Airline to work for. But until we rid ourselves of the greed, nepotism, racism and general arse covering / face saving that takes place, we'll always have a long way to go.
This seems to be turning into a CX V EK debate which I doubt was why this topic was started. Back to the thead?
