Well Triplespool,
It appears you are not very forward thinking so god help you as flying is a job where you have to be ahead of the A/C, you better get you situational awareness together.
If you get into CX, you wait, you will eventually bitch and moan about not having housing when you see how much it contributes to life in HK, so don't say you weren't warned.
This is a wannabes forum for people to learn everything, the good and the bad not just the stuff from CX.
