Should I Stay or should I go?
Hi all,
Trying to decide to accept a SO class date or not... Presently turboprop command in US with a good company. Wife and I are interested in a change so moving to HKG appeals other than the pollution.
However, I am trying to assess if it is a move for the life of my CX career. Even after the interview and after reading these forums I'm not very clear on how the basings work or are awarded.
Lets say I like CX but not HKG and want to get our ASAP.
1. Must I wait until JFO or FO for a base?
2. Presumably bases are awarded by seniority?
3. Which bases are the most junior?
4. Which are the most senior?
5. I have right to live and work in EU and US. Presumably I can get based there. What about Canada or Aus?
6. I must return to HKG if I ever actually get a command?
OK, what else should I know about bases? I think I am one of those rare airline types that chases QOL instead of $$$$$$$s I have a good schedule, don't commute and love where I live right now. These are the things that are important to me.
