Conditions get better and you buggers still whinge, unbelievable. If you don't want to be bonded for 6 years don't come. It's hardly unfair with the cash Cathay invests in cadets to want to keep them for at least a few years so Emirates doesn't come try poach guys whom Cathay has paid good money to get up to scratch. Yes, it's different to the way it used to work (housing and A-Scale) but my god, you sound like children. It ain't affecting your conditions so run along and complain about how the money for the new aircraft ordered should have been used in your profit share.
