Hi captains,
Firstly I really want to thank you guys to warn us and give us advice! But what would you guys recommend? Waiting for the DEFO openings? Will they ever come and will Cathay give the original allowances which the iCadets don't get? It is a nice place to live, if you can effort it. I think a pilot can life on the iCadet packages, but not really comfortable! It is more surviving and dealing with an adventure than chill out and doing things with your friends or family.
I've already read tha if you are under your twenties, no spouse, no flight experience, then life can be 'good'. But isn't it better to get the licences, building up some hours, maybe even get command at a lo-co and then move up to Cathay? So let's say you are then in your early 30's? Is that a better deal? Or just entering as a 20yrs old, with no flight experience into the iCadet scheme and get ASAP onto that seniority list!
Thanks in advance, and PM would be okay too!
