Hey guys I heard from a souce that a training captain on the A340/330 from Emirates went to CX as an SO, he is probably earning more at CX and has a better lifestyle.
CX vs EK, it use to be strong competition with CX guys coming to EK but with the DEC policy at EK the tables have turned, CX still offer a career whilst EK offer your what's in your 'contract', take it or leave attitude. CX vs SAA, difficult one, it is up to he individual however long term I would go CX, the drawback would be living in HKG, although it's probably safer than JNB & CPT.
Good luck to you all
