my suggestion is that you completely disregard this forum when making decisions about YOUR future life and career.
I read this forum before joing CX and what I've seen made me not want to get anywhere near CX. Now, that I work there and see the bigger picture, I would not consider using it to make any decisions.
You will not get any useable information.
Most people posting here frequently, just vent their frustrations using words only - so in a way it is serving a good purpose........ No harm done, no violence........and cheaper than a psychiatrist.
Also, it is a very small group that hardly represents anything in the context of the CX pilots.
My advice is, if you are serious about this - to talk to crews, if you catch them at one of the many aiports CX operates to
after a flight. Ask politely and explain your situation. I am sure that most will be more than happy to help out. If you get to talk to more than one pilot, you may get a good picture overall.....
Good luck
