While I agree you don't go to CX for the passion of flying, my advise would be for inexperienced pilots to go to CX for the free training!

And as soon as you find something better, go for it!

That's what free market is, after all.
And after your free training, you're better off than many pilots who paid their training themself. (CPL + P2X type-rating - 80.000USD debt)
This is along my lines of thinking. If you can get in, why not give it a go, see how things are. Flying in Oz can't be that bad?

Everyone is suggesting that once your At CX your stuck there. Your not bound to work for the company as that's illeagle in HK (I did ask this at my interview and they said it's true), so if you hate it, save up, take your P2X rating and run...go back to your home country, finish off to get a full/ fATPL and work for someone else.
