KA vs CX
On salary alone you would be 42% ahead of CX in accumulated earnings after 10 years - that is around $3.4million HKD. After 20 years you would be 26% ahead of CX which equates to $5.6million HKD. This is based on 5 years to command in KA and 13 for CX - the KA assumption is purely a guess as who knows what will happen now we work for the same employers.
Their salary package is within 2.7% of the CX package for CNs and 1.4% for FOs, if you actually achieve 84credit hrs in CX. If you do around 56 hrs then the KA package is slightly ahead for FOs and about even for captains.
KA do get a travel allowance but their bonus scheme I think is a little shy of our 15.5% PF - could someone from KA please enlighten us as to your bonus scheme?
Good to see the KA package 'improved' to the same levels as existed in CX in 1992.
