Mate what you have stated is generally quite true about CX.A lot of SO's in CX either love it or hate it! Not getting any flying for possibly four or even five years is a real turn off plus living in a virtual dog box takes character especially if you are married. Thats another issue stay single and dont take your girlfriend to HKG. Ninety per cent of white women HATE HKG.There are better options for the likes of someone of your obvious intelligence and CX will be poorer for it.
Good Luck for the future.
