Cathay Cadet vs Dragonair
Hi everybody,
I am a teenager and have always wanted to be a pilot it has been my dream since I was 4. I just wanted to know if it was better to do the Cathay cadet programme or the Dragonair cadet programme, I've always wanted to do long haul flights and fly the 'big' aeroplanes (The 777 is my favorite aircraft followed by the 747). But I'm not so keen on being an SO (for 6 years I think it is now please correct me if I'm wrong) and there are lots of people complaining about how the pay is not enough to live in Hong Kong. Dragonair you go straight to FO and because of this the initial pay is better. Please can you tell me what exactly the pay structure IS for Cathay SO and cadet Dragonair FO and what you're opinion is on the best deal, as I said I prefer Cathay but if it means 6 years of not flying and not being on a very good pay then I'm not too keen. Thanks in advance for all your information and views.
JJ
