What I cannot understand is why you would take a job where the other three people in the Flight Deck hate you and all that entails.
In addition, the cabin crew would despise you as well. CX Cabin Crew are only just behind the Flight Crew in their hatred for management and are well aware of this issue. Indeed, quite a few are married to Pilots at CX (bring your own food <G>).
Out of work - Hong Kong is almost a village in expatriate terms and to live in it with the feelings of hatred that will exist, I don't know why you would do it. Despite the press, most of the people in Hong Kong are well aware of the situation at CX and the flack will also come from those outside the airline.
You can believe the management (small m) who post on this board, you might even believe the press, you might think that flying (after a few years of radio operation) a big jet will make up for it, but I think the reality will be stark. I couldn't do it.
