Just out of interest how long do you have to be in hkg before you get $64,500-$73,000 per month nett? By my calculations that is in the range of SFO4 and beyond. A new CX joiner would get to those levels after 11 years based here. Of course once you are a CN here you are on about $85K nett a month - and based on all the recent a/c orders that should be around 15 years.
So if you want to compare apples with oranges the virgin australia pays more than FO in hkg. A B scaler based in Aus gets about 10-20% more that the proposed virgin deal. But of course, with RA65 etc how many of these bases will be available to our 777 pilots?
If you enjoy hkg and you are happy with your CoS, good for you. But please refrain from using sophistic logic to justify your decisions.
