Still more questions:
Thanks betpump,
That was informative. But all the more, it only rises a lot more questions in my ever-curious mind. I hope u don't mind answering.
i) After the initial six years of the contract, if we would like to continue working with CX and would have to renew or re-establish the whole contract, would we still be ineligible for housing allowances...??? Because, at that point in time, we would be joining CX as a first officer, which, I think is almost the same as a DEFO.
ii) Saying we work at CX for 6 years, isn't it most likely that we would have attained a number of type ratings, an ATPL and a number of hours in jet flying time, which is what many major airlines require for their F/O's, thereby giving us an easy chance of being hired by some other major airline...???
