not exactly true
Hye,
I just would like to correct some facts. The main change (which is enormous) is the housing allowance which now starts at 10,000 $HK per month, is taxable, and tops at 36,000 $HK when you are a senior captain.
The former housing allowance was around 80,000 $HK, even when a SO from what I've understood.
Your "regular" salary is not really changed, you are on the same scale.
The duty per diem has changed, it's now 10% of you salary.
So the other flight crew won't get 6 times more than you (I mean, i you compare yourself to another former SO), he will get definitely more (and a lot), but just be aware of the figure.
