Another self inflicted Time Bomb that Cathay Managers have dreamed up. Basings (or lack of) is one, promotion to Captain when living on a Base is another and now, the inability of a Senior First Officer ( in a few years time) to have a lifestyle that in any way resembles what he/she could enjoy at 'home'. When the going was good our divorce rate was high - just think of what's to come.
All signed off by 'People Managers' on 100,000 HKD a month housing packages and all the Expat benefits you can think of. Typical 'Do what I say - not what I do'.
Lead from behind chaps - very impressive!
