You also fail to realise that it is incredibly hard to get this sort of job with only minimum hours. They hire only a handful of people a year and there are only a handful of operators who give low timers a chance in the world. You can't just decide to do it this way and then go do it, there are 10s of thousands of pilots who never got a job and you are giving people a hard time for accepting 10 times what these susi air guys earn and in a jet?

I expect EVERY SINGLE CX pilot who gets expat benefits would have taken the cadet deal if they were trying for their first flying job when their license ink was still wet. Maybe guys who dreamed of the RAF RAAF USAF etc may have thought twice as it would not be the same job they initially were after.
