Hold pool since 08, I'm considering this "final" offer as I have wanted to work at CX for quite some time and I quite enjoy HK. I've been a regional pilot for 5yrs including 2yrs as a captain. I suppose I'd be one of the more experienced SOs hired in a long time. My biggest problem with this offer is that if HK doesn't work out you still owe CX your training costs under the apparent terms of the forgivable loan. So even if you don't touch the 880000hkd you still owe them 220000 if it doesn't work out. Now that is a lot of $ to wager that everything will be great after moving 8000 miles away... even if I go there with full intent of making it my career (which I would.) At this point I really don't need the "free" training for my resume and have no plans of training and quitting as some apparently do. I'm young and single, well mostly single. So I dunno, tough call...
