Free aircraft rating
The new c-scale contract makes this almost a no brainier.
Dragonair should now only be able to get pilots who failed at CX.
If you are unemployed or need an Airbus rating the c-scale contract might work for you. Give KA two years and you will leave with an Airbus rating and a few hundred hours. Give it 3 years and you can leave with 320/321/330.
Most things above is correct but keep in mind that you will not feel the same as you paycheck will be 30 percent less.
Pros
Leave system
Fellow pilots
Cons
Management
China flying with massive delays
No real roster agreement
Night stops quite boring but ok hotels
Difficult checking system, they call it training but it's not!
If you have family or at planning to have one, I don't think this is for you.
