However, wouldn't the 90% allowance for schooling be a very big incentive? Correct me if I'm wrong but is the only difference between a CPP cadet and a DESO the fact that the CPP cadet does not receive the housing allowance?
I just went out with 1 of my mates from CX last night...and he was quoting 60K/month (HKD) for expat housing....no education allowance i think for locals...plus i think most locals has now join the union to flight for better conditions...something that theyve never done.
But lucky for him...he has already made FO (after 4.5 years)(making alright money when his is kinda single)...But the bad news is, now that more senior captains can retire at 65 instead of 55...it is going to take him an extra 4-5 years on top of the original 10 years average to be considered for Captainship.
SO upgrades times are looking grey it seems...
Im not an expert in HK base airliness because i dont work in that region...perhaps someone else has more info.
Peace
