...all drama aside, the cadets coming through now (the few that accept what is on offer), will be very short lived at Cathay as the shine wears off, and all that stares back at you is a wall in your 600 sq ft flat in Tung Chung. With the pilot market opening up due to retirements worldwide, it is not conceivable why an educated individual would come to Cathay, to live a lesser lifestyle than they currently enjoy, only to accumulate experience generally useless outside of Cathay.

Not trying to be a downer, if it was the place to be, I would say that. Up to a few years ago, it was. (and could be again, if they would stop this cadet C-scale package,and pay experienced guys what they are worth to come aboard.)

Good luck with your "decision".
