I have said if CX didn't need expats we would be gone tomorrow and if that was the case then fair enough.
A CPL student working in a bar in HK? I doubt it. If he was he'd be earning about the same as a S/O.
You've nicely diverted the arguement from foreign Pilots coming to Australia accepting vastly lower wages against the wishes of the vast majority of Australian Pilots currently employed. Into a CX stouch 14 years ago when the vast majority of Pilot's didn't give a rats. And then called me a hypocrit, well I don't think I am, right or wrong I acted in accordance with the wishes of the majority, something a UNION does.
