I received an e-mail from a friend (S.A.A.) who attended on Monday. He confirmed about 100 of them. Tim said CX need 350 pilots his year.
Biggest problem is right of abode in Europe and North America for most.
He said the S/O money is not good enough. I really don’t know how he does his sums. Do he really think that anyone will pay him the same as he is (was ??) paid at S.A.A. from day one. Just his housing in H.K. will be more than his current salary. Low taxes, schooling paid, low interest on mortgage etc.
I am past the point where I am trying to convince anyone to move or change. I am VERY happy with my decision to be here, so everyone for himself. But I would not be a good friend if I don’t point out the fact that they were spoiled for to long and he must look at the medium turn. Have at least a 5 year plan. If you will earn anywhere near Mango salary in the future then CX, even the freighter, look very attractive.
Then there is job security………one is cutting routes, the other has at least 23 shinny new jets arriving.
Head out the sand friends.
