CX_777ER and others applying...(especially people with some serious TT),
Nobody knows what will happen to those who accept this ****e deal... you guys are the first lot who "face" this 6 year bond/forgivable loan BS...I personally think that about 30% will stay and 70% will leave as soon as they can (or just do a "runner"); please keep in mind that the Middle East will be out of reach after 6 years since they need 2000TT on heavy jets as an FO. So if you are planning to spend 4-5 years as an SO (useless time in the logbook) and a year as an FO you wont meet the requirements.
I have also heard from a source in ADL that CX is getting plenty of kids without flying experience (real cadets), but only got a few people on the advanced course and literally nobody for the short course.
Give it some time - CX will have to up the package to get experienced people back in the cockpit.
My 2 HK$ worth...
