cost of living
Madp1lot,
I think you need to do a bit more research in regards to your budget; further you didn't state for how many people this calculation has been done for...
If you think you can get a kid into a school for 4.5k a month you are dreaming - 700 bucks for electricity especially in the summer will not cover it either. On top of that you conveniently forgot 15% tax in your budget.
Fact is that HKA is paying below market rates for a pilot based IN HONG KONG. The salary on offer might look good in the Middle East with a villa provided or in Spain with a house on a 20 year mortgage.
We all understand that you might be a Spainair pilot out of work but have a careful look - the Middle East is a better option considering all the problems HKA has been facing.
