And what exactly, were the "sacrifices" you made? Did it have anything to do with, say, quality of life, monetary and emotional cost of uprooting family and self, and restarting at the bottom of the ladder due to loss of seniority and rank? Sounds familiar?
And was it because of the fact that the Cathay package can offset the above negatives that you decided to jump ship?
Please do tell if you came for more noble reasons, so we can all appreciate your "sacrifice".
Noble reasons?? WTF??? Who said anything about making a decision based on noble reasons. It's all about money money money!!!! Having said that, you have no clue, absolutely none!
Because as "Locals", we enjoy many advantages which makes Hong Kong just heaven on earth for us!
Just a few that I can think of off the top of my head:
-A unique biological preference for small living spaces. The smaller the better.
-Kids with 4 digit IQs, making education irrelevant.
-An in-built pollution filter, located between the esophagus and the lungs. Ask us to show you next time!
-And the fantastic ability to grow money on trees!
Come on, tell us what YOU love about Hong Kong!
Exactly why CX has to pay expat allowances to keep pilots here

If I were in your shoes I would use the experience you've gained and use it to your advantage, no one said CX is the only airline job on this planet. But if you knew anything about sacrifices you would now what I am talking about.
Please read my replies more carefully. Although the topic of this thread was about LEPs, I have always included our based colleagues in my arguments.
What I seek is JUST pay. And justice for one is justice for none.
Ok cut the B

S

! Now who is trying to sound 'o so noble! This is all about you face it!
Again, if there were no expats in HKG, what would have been your argument for wanting to receive an expat package as a "local". Just because we are being paid an expat package as expats it has your undies in a knot!
