Everyone of the new contract pilots I work with is unhappy with their pay deal. They are hoping for an upgrade to the B scale contract or marked improvements in the special allowance.
None ( new contract pilots ) are leaving due rapid promotion and plenty seem willing to come. Also, consider the ramifications of localization ie: local spawned through a cadet or MPL process won't ever leave Hong Kong.
I can't see the special allowance increasing anytime soon. So by all means come, but don't expect the DPA or your colleagues to pull a rabbit out of the hat and get you B Scale etc despite well intentioned efforts. My point being, eventually you will be pi$$ed off and frustrated but don't deliver your frustrations where it isn't warranted!
