I am not trying to make this a CX versus KA thread. I just think that anyone considering joining CX or KA should know how they compare. If commands are at the 3 year mark in KA then you are likely to have $4.5million HKD more earnings at KA than CX (thats 56% more)after 10 years and about 5000hrs+ command time, of which I am sure much of it will be A330 or even 744 so you will have plenty of widebody command. Of course you can't get a basing, at this stage, but then that is about to dry up at CX with RA65.
I just want to make sure those that love shiny new jets and love HKG choose the right airline to work for!
