Anyone who has been in Cathay long enough has seen them use the line “This is the final offer" line before. They are bluffing you. I will tell you that they are desperate for experienced pilots to fill the short iCad courses. They are wanting close to 300 pilots in the next twelve months and they can’t achieve this with long course iCads alone. If enough experienced applicants say no to this inferior offer then they will be forced to improve it, ideally to the existing conditions enjoyed by those already here.
