Sicilian under the new contract housing for FOs is 20,000HK$
Krone I agree with your first sentence we'll only get what CX doesn't want: they take what's good (airplane, destinations) and give us what's left.
For Captain's low experience i wouldn't agree though: most of the expats have more than 10,000h including turbuprop and different type of jet before joining. It's not true for local pilots issued from the cadet scheme.
Different contracts that's true but by your post Krone your making the old contract too good and giving reasons to the management to downgrade it.
