This is obviously not going to work, once again short sighted management see it as savings over each pilots career which would be massive. All the guys joining now as cadets have the flying bug, want to be an airline pilot, fly a big jet for one of the major airlines. This soon wears off and it is just a job, still a good and interesting job but nevertheless still a job. Right now most cadets stay once they are FOs and thats because HKG is their home, if you are used to living in a small place, have your family and friends here its not so bad. International Cadets will see it another way, why work here in these conditions when I can go home and work for a descent company and have more spending power or go to the desert and get a house and a tax free salary. This is going to be interesting when it all starts falling apart and it will I have no doubt.
