From seeing all the posts about the 'inferior' contract and people complaining about it, it seems money matters, to be honest I am much more leaning towards Cathay but I just don't want to regret the choice, and anyway both of them are flying aren't they? When I talked about Cathay and Dragonair, the first thing that attracted me to Dragonair was not the money but that it goes straight to FO which would mean I get more flying time.
