...... yep, I can see you've done your study. Everything you say and
- zero income tax,
- zero tax on the HKPLA,
- zero tax on the "forgivable loan" (butin the event you did have to pay it back, wouldn't you pay the full amount CX "gave" you, hence the repayment = loan + non refundable tax paid on it?)
- 4000 sqft apartment on the beach at Shek O,
- future marriage, wife, kids cost nothing in HK,
- HK cost of living is the cheapest in the world,
- inflation runs at zero percent year in, year out,
- housing costs never go up: ever,
- and if they did your HKPLA covers those silly little CPI & housing market increases (only at 22% last calculation, nearly nothing at all!!)...or does it?
- there is no pollution in HK to factor into health concerns & potential ramifications,
- socialising, the occasional night out or meal is also free (part of the deal),
- CX have a long respected history of honouring contracts & never seek to lower staff pay,
- rostering practices and FDTLs are never an issue, nor have ever been,
- everyone respects what you are doing to the industry and pressures put on present CX contracts (especially with the housing allowance review coming up for them),
- you cannot fail anything within those 6 years or time in ADL that would incur repayment of the "forgivable loan" because the instructors and trainers are just so darn proud of the "passion" everyone has!
- a P2X rating is the most sort after rating in the world & just in case you do have to leave HK for any number of unplanned events, airlines will be lining up for you join them with such advanced qualifications,
- you have a secure career with respectable management anyway. I mean, no one at CX has ever been fired unfairly or for highlighting safety concerns.
Yep, it's all free and better than self respect! Money in the bank!!
(Read "The 49ers - The True Story" if you really are seeking some study tips as per your post on the the other thread).
This thread is about "Why I Knocked Back CX", and not for those seeking answers to questions any applicant with minimal research, study or preparation should already know.
