you get proper housing once you are captain? (correct me if im wrong)
Was told time from SO to Capt 15 yrs maybe longer.....than you will only get HKG $24,000 per month hardly proper.
... the other problem is if they add that to you paycheck as income you will be taxed....in some cases tax double once by HKG than again by your home country
....going rate is around $60,000....
