CPP2009
Slightly overdramatic Titan
No you were just lucky. It all depends on who you get. You were also an early interviewee for the International CPP so interviewers probably hadn’t refined their questions. I can assure you though variations of this question are common especially with DESO interviews mainly because of the high divorce rate of CX pilots. It is even more relevant now because of the investment Cathay is putting into international cadets that have absolutely no family ties here to HK and who can piss off back home at a whim if the going gets tough. In the past when locals were only eligible this wasn’t a problem and this type of question wasn’t asked.
I saw the pay scales and I thought they were pretty darn good. 5th Year salary (assume you completed 4 years at SO) then got promoted is just over 55 thousand.
You saw wrong. I have COS08 pay scales and JFO year one is less than that.
If you are used to paying 50% of your salary per month, are you really saying there is no 3/4 bedroom place for HKG25'000?
I never said that at all. I suggest you have a read of my posts a little closer.
