How many consecutive days off do you get a month for you to travel home?
How many days off do Cathay Pilots get to 'go home'?
Same exact number.
Zero.
Home is Hong Kong. Love it or leave it.
This is not a commuting contract.

Based on what i collected from this thread, HKA is not worth joining and prolly going bankrupt soon ?

No housing allowance ? how those guys who just joined HKA survive with just basic salary ?
There's a lot of crap in this thread IMHO. I only recently had time enough to wade through the 60-odd pages of it. Most of it is grossly outdated because it goes back to Jan 2008, seems more concerned with difficulties at HKE, and gripes about a now departed management cadre. Just one example - if it says someplace 'there is no housing allowance' it's wrong, and you can safely apply the same benchmark to many other assertions contained therein.

Which company is bigger Swire or Hainan?
It's rather a moot point. Does it matter?
Given the politics of the region - I think its unlikely either one will be disappearing next week.
