some things to consider with cx:

- high failure rates during training + upgrading

- general "training" and checking environment can be extremely unpleasant

- based europe you fly exactly two routes : to h.k. and back

- no pay rise in many years, almost no union power, based h.k. you are getting payed in h.k. $, which is pegged to the us$ = minus 40% income compared to the euro within last years

- many roster changes, especially on the classic

- long patterns ( up to 10 days)

- freight only 12 months pay, no profit share, no chrismas bonus, no housing etc.
