Forgive me but isn't your statement a bit of an oxymoron?....basically you're saying that if Emirates can give you every thing that Cathay is giving, then you'll leave because you're fed up with what Cathay is giving??
Sorry, I am being a bit facetious I know, but be very careful with Emirates..if you think CX doesnt give a s%&t, then I think you will find Emirates even worse..it wasnt long ago that they wanted to disregard time in the bunk toward flying hours, they wont give two hoots about fatigue as long as its legal and by all accounts the culture clashes there can be something to behold..I know a few folk who have gone there and regret it big time.The unfortunate bottom line is there is a totally different work ethic in asia and the subcontinent/Middle east than there might be with our beloved national flag carriers, and even with them its all gradually coming down to the lowest common denominator.
The Grass definitely isn't always greener!
