lmao, such a melodramatist! You missed your true calling, ChinaBeached - you should have been a soap opera star!
Sounds like a case of sour grapes to me. Why did Cathay reject you? Did you try preaching honesty and integrity to them? Did you talk about 'back bone' and 'sell outs'?
Man up, grab a tissue, deal with it. Whether or not you care to accept it, cadet programs such as Cathay's are here to stay. Your apparent disdain for them, and the need that you feel to share your accomplishments with randoms on the internet, suggests arrogance. I can't imagine a worse trait on the flight deck. Perhaps thats why Cathay wasn't interested!
It is truly is a shame that you have to resort to all this name calling, China, buddy, pal, friend, hombre. I had such high hopes for our friendship!
