IF ONLY YOU GUYS COULD SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE, SHOW THE SLIGHTEST BIT OF UNITY, PATIENCE AND REAP THE REWARDS!
(Which is nothing other than what we should receive anyway....!)
With Emirates and Etihad's HUGE fleet expansion plans they are sending out roadshows all over the globe: including HK in the next few weeks. They are grabbing almost any pilot with "
close to" their minimum requirements for DEFO positions, creating a hole for lesser experienced guys:
yourselves.
Chinese carriers (regional and international) are very much the same with their recruitment needs.
Read what Slosar, the CX CEO is quoted as saying! It can't get anymore obvious than that. Don't sell yourself, your future or your industry out when with the slightest amount of patience will reap rewards more than double what the present offer is.
John Slosar:
"One problem facing Cathay is the chronic pilot shortage, he said. "We trained 400 local people to be pilots over the last 15 to 20 years, about 50 to 70 now a year. It is our plan to do more but we will have to do it step by step. Hong Kong doesn't have a military, so we have to train most of them ourselves," he said.
"But it's a costly enterprise. Training a pilot costs about HK$1 million [US$128,000] just to get them up to be a second officer. It's quite a commitment, but probably it won't cover all of our growth requirements so we will source pilots elsewhere as well," he said."

Non-bonded CX cadets, mainly HK nationals, are leaving CX for HK Airlines & other airlines due better Command potential and conditions. This "forgivable loan" (BOND!) prevents you from doing the same. What does that tell you?
