Mod1, et al :
if you are planning to work for Cathay you will have the pleasure to meet Broadband and his friends in person. The place is unfortunately full of cynical,unfriendly people with very big elbows. They hardly miss a chance to demonstrate a junior pilot their superiority, after all most of them do not have a life beside their employment with Cathay.
Maybe it is the whole, military derived Cathay-system of monitoring and checking that turns vulnerable guys into backstabbers, maybe it is the multicultural/expat situation that confuses some, who knows.
I know this sounds a bit negative, but I never worked for an airline where you constantly have to watch your back as it is the case here.
Of course a lot of good guys working here as well, but just be aware of most probably a totally different company culture compared to what you are used to if you really decide to join.
