And when u say expat cadets, u mean a western cadet?
not just "western" cadets, but all LEPs. there was a post not too far back about CX arranging for additional financial benefits for future cadet graduates, have a look.

Well i guess my question is...are people really all that interested or should i say long term committed in joining CX when people are getting paid less than a person that came from the same country or race as you? I know there are western cadets that have joined CX well before this international scheme, but cant say they are the same...because they hold a HKID...and im certain they hold a HKID because their parents had made HK their new home well before he/she had the interest in Aviation.

I think the reality is...once you have your hours....who is going to limit themselves to earning less than a real expat would...would you?
i think the ideal question to ask yourself would be:
when you apply for the CXCPP, or when the decision to become a commercial pilot was made for that matter, was your aspiration to become an AIRLINE pilot, or a CATHAY pilot?
