you don't have to be on a legacy package to live happily in HKG. Sooo many people pushing out the myth that less than, "the old days" = eating noodles in a shoebox full of colleagues
White none, just to be sure we're on the same page, you're not including local conditions in your statement are you? I read it as 70-75k plus 45k housing which icadets won't see until command 15yrs away (95k+24k pilot allowance - both taxed at 15%) 45k housing is the bare minimum I would guess to live comfortably in expat type accommodation.
