"When you are sitting in that nice shiny jet, middle of the night, tired and 1000's of miles away from your family all just to pay off the mountain of debt you have built up living in one of the world's most expensive cities you will regret what you have just said."
Either way, as I see it - pilots today seem to end up with huge debt anyway. Climbing the latter in Cathay seems as just a good idea as climbing the latter by bying your way in, working your ass off for Ryanair e.g.
How can pilots today "win" do you feel?
