Thanks a lot for all the replies especially Azamat, Missing Blade and Main Dog. I really appreciate you guys taking time to post on this thread. I've read about all the problems at CX with management, co. culture, rostering, pay scales etc. all affecting morale (Long time reader, first time poster!)
Reading some posts it seems like a lot of airline pilots are truly demoralised... and it makes me kind of sad cause its been my dream to fly aircraft since I can ever remember and I want to make it happen. Not that CX is the only option but to me but it seems the least risky.
It just strikes me that even with all the big issues, there arent hundreds quitting so there must be some things CX pilots still love about flying and being in HK that they stay for? There must still be really enjoyable things about pilot life?!
