Now, does anyone know Cathay's requirements concerning training loan repayments? Is a sum of money deducted from the SO Salary to accomodate for it and how many years will it take before you can leave Cathay after completing the course. Im asking because if Cathay decided to charge your for the training even while giving a housing allowance, it would make no difference at all. If you get your full SO salary in the first year itself, consider that you've just been trained for free so I wouldnt whinge too much about it. I dont know how it works so can anyone enlighten us on this?
