Thank you
Thanks guys for the information. I'm very reluctant to leave present employer (which is fine, but like all has its little problems) to go to a place with so much uncertainty.
The one thing I have is a very stable roster and I've realised this is not the norm in the industry.
The experience at Cathay city (hard, like joining the army) was something I'm glad I have done, but being a legacy airline, Cathay cannot just hope we jump without fair and non-transparent terms and conditions. Not knowing what a unified roster looks like and having a clear understanding of the freighter commitment makes the decision impossible.
I find this really disappointing and very frustrating.
Yes, the family is important, because if I cannot predict my life style and it turns out to be a nightmare, there will be no family to return home to, so this has to be top of the list when making a move to another company.
Command is not everything, I'd rather put lift style first, but I hear you loud and clear on the small number of CPT positions with Cathay in the UK.
Thanks again everyone out there who has kindly replied.
Merry Christmas
