If an Expat joined OUR CX group and found out that locals obtained the same pay as an expatty, would they care? Many expat Aussie guys take LESS pay than local HK F/Os but dont complain.
They want promotion, respect and glory, ulitmatly.

Actually, in KA, pilots with far more experience than their similar seniority CX buddies are paid less than locals in CX (considering loss of licence, years spent learning their trade)

I dont mind either way, as Im here for what I can get, then if I cant get more, Ill become a moron... I mean Mormon, cos only morons can truly accept their fate as mercinary labor in CX or Ka or the other bunch.

Id love to leave, but cannot. So hurt lockerish.
