Unless they are way off their crewing plans and cargo,pax traffic picks up more then planned, I would not hope too much in getting hired. If they can get cheap labour, they will. Why hire us under expat terms when they can have cadets for half the price? A year or two down the road I wouldn't be surprised if they cut the expat terms for deso as well. I'm sure there are people who would gladly take it. For me personally, HK deso, full expat terms, nothing more nothing less. That's what I interviewed for and I will not accept anything less.
