Led,
I guess it does start to get boring when all you hear are guys and gals telling you all the bad stuff that is going on, however, i think if you goto any airline only hearing the positives then you cant get a real good idea of what its like in that carrier and sure most of the posters here are just a small percentage of the total workforce but its the same with all the threads from any airline.
I have been here for 10years with CX, i have had some good times i must say but they are becoming far and few. CX has a great name for it, makes alot of money, the jets we are flying are not too old, however, if you look at the airbus and 747 fleet, they are really getting on now. I have been flying the bus since i joined and you get to fly with alot of really great people.
Not much else i can say for the positives unfortunately, and this is the where you get a lot of guys saying how bad it is up here. If your wanting to become a cadet, then i assume you have been to hong kong and know what life is like here. The cadet course is a great way to get into the industry without having to do all the years of hard work that most of us had to do and good luck to you.
CX once upon a time was the a great airline however it is slowly becoming just "another" airline. Think hard and read threads, and dont become single minded in that you only want to read what the happy guys want to say, if you do that your not getting the whole picture and when you do end up coming here and working here you will be dissappointed.
all the best
