Question Current CX pay scale?

Hi All,

I’m taking flying lesson and I can see myself obtaining a frozen ATPL in the near future. I’d like to work for Cathay someday, but I can’t help thinking whether I should join the cadet program or work a couple of years and get the experience needed to join as an expatriate (I have HK/British dual nationality).

I did a bit of research in this forum and apparently someone offered advice like “Don’t join as a local pilot if you have the option.” I understand that expat gets a better package, but what other difference is there? Could someone please enlighten me with the current local and expat pay scale? What is “A” scale, “B” scale and so? Any information would be very much appreciated, as my knowledge of the professional business in as deep as a pond!

Cheers,
Johnny
