The actual dollar figure on it's own could be very misleading for you. Just as $1000 a week sounds like a good pay check in some countries like India or Vietnam might be considered excellent, but in a major US or Aussie city its below average.
Just as the dollar amount for rent in a city where a two bedroom, two bathroom flat in a nice building in the city is $5k US a month (Which it is in Hong Kong), is no comparison to most other places. All of a sudden your thousand bucks a week means you can't even put a roof over your head.
You need to be doing a lot of homework before pursuing a "Career" as a Pilot in Hong Kong. Not least of which should include "what sort of place is it like to work" there are an awful lot of unhappy Pilots at Cathay.
