Cameron:- If you have a UK passport then use your time at school to choose your subjects carefully that can prepare you for the career you want. Learn to fly at a reputable flying school who can prepare you for your JAA License. With that under your belt and the passport you have can take your new CPL and you'll stand a high chance of having your first paid job as an FO on a jet (A320, 737, etc...) in Europe or the UK. That JAA license is the key. You'll be flying an aeroplane, earning hours and on a better salary than starting out at CX as an SO living in HK. You'll gain far more hours far, far faster than as a CX SO and hence by the time many of your peers who went to CX are doing their first take off and landing since their C152 days, you'll be light years ahead: with experience and credentials comes the opportunities.

At QF you'll need to compete with guys with a few thousand hours GA time before becoming an SO. More so, who the hell can tell what QF will look like soon after the present idiot has screwed it up.

At age 15 you've shown more maturity to at least read the previous comments before posting than many, many, many others have before you. CX don't deserve you.

Good luck.
