How does allowing foreign candidates save the company money? I thought if you hire locally then you save money on housing allowance. Has the policy changed that if the cadet is from overseas then there won't be any housing allowance at all? What would be the difference between an oversea cadet and a local one?
To be honest, jobs like this people would almost do it for free
Unless you get into SO or FO, and if the wage is still uncompetitive, then pilots would start thinking about leaving.
And is the contact/term really harsh? Sounds like most of you are n't happy about this change? (or if there's a change at all. All they did was remove the term "HK residents" on the homepage. It might still be a required field on the online application?)
