They have offered people jobs before after they passed all the stages, medical, sim etc only to be kept waiting for over a year before being told you can still join on less than half the package we were offering before.
They have hired guys on the old expat package on the condition they instruct in Australia on the cadet courses for 3 (I think) years maybe longer before joining as an SO with full housing etc. Contracts were signed and it was a done deal. A year or so afterward they were told sorry but we lied and you are now on the cadet contract when you come to HKG.
You really think CX will honor a lesser requirement to those who have applied but not even had an interview?
Sorry but if this rumor is true it will apply to you.
