the icadet SJS package will not sustain a decent life for you in HK, not now and not when you're an FO in a decade, and not when you're a Captain a decade after that. The package simply isn't good enough.
Woodwork, you're new here, so I will just jump in and counter DanBuster's point above (again - we've been going back on forth on this thread for a while now!) by simply saying - yes it is. As an FO on over $90k, I speak from personal experience, that this is more than adequate for my family and me to live comfortably in Hong Kong.

And before Dan comes back and explains how I can do this with my "personal circumstances" (I speak chinese like a local, and rely on my parents living here probably!), I have plenty of friends who did not grow up here in exactly the same situation.

Just to provide a counter-point...
