i have to let some friends of mine know what it is like here in cathay.
i now wish that i had stayed at home.
i did not know the history behind all the industrial pressure here in hong kong. i now feel embarrased to have joined as now that i have read some of the facts and have seen the actual way that the crew in cathay are treated i can see that the way of life here in hong kong is not all that it is cracked up to be. the real shame is not that my name is distributed to every hkaoa pilot my social life is a wreck. everytime i go to work all i get for conversation is yes no and "do the radio". my wife can not seem to find friends here and is constantly talking about going home again. unfortunately i am now known and virgin are not interested in hiring me. when all of the problems here are sorted out as i have been told i am unsure of just what i will be able to do. having seen the way the managers here treat staff that have been loyal for decades, i am sure that my job will be forfeit.
wish i had never come
