betpump5 is a low level CX manager and not to be trusted. Do your own homework!!! The CX cadet SO scheme is a bad deal for anyone with real flying experience. You will live a borderline poverty existence in HKG for at least 4 years before you get any meaningful experience on a widebody.
My advice - wait until the US majors start retiring all the baby boomers. You'll get in somewhere once this cycle really gets moving. It would be happening already if not for retirement age 65. Be patient. Don't jump at this bad deal unless you really like Hong Kong, bad air, and crappy little apartments. There is a good chance you'll regret it...
