From: HK- A little bit of industrial China in every breath you take.
Cxtreme, did you come to Hong Kong for the fresh air and wide open spaces? Money never entered your mind during your decision making to join CX? Sounds like porky pies to me big fella!

Greed is that someone who has made all their money, then saunter back to Australia, take a job at well below industry rates, 'because they dont need the money anymore', and support a company that charges pilots for endorsements, and selfishly sits back sipping his coffee wondering what all these whinging junior pilots are so pi$$ed off about. Prostituting your self to the lowest bidder, as in this case, does a lot more damage to the long term future of junior pilots than voting with your feet for better terms and conditions. Senior pilots are selfishly doing alot of damage to the industry by accepting these conditions, and it is the junior guys left carrying the can, by paying for their endorsements, and having poor T&Cs agreed to by senior guys who didnt have to pay because they got a free one at CX or EK, and had earnt enough to go home comfortably well off... "Its just a retirement position, a bit of fun for the last few years right?"

Some people were hoping for a career like you had. I think if you have done well out of the industry, you owe it to the industry to maintain its hard fought terms and conditions as you leave, not kick down the sand castles as you leave the beach, so no one else can enjoy it when you leave. Now thats my idea of greedy.
