Pilotchute,
I'm in total agreement with you. To everyone applying for AE and TT HongKong can be a cheap place to live. However if you want to live in a 200 sq foot apartment (room share) enjoy your uneventful life even thou you will be out of the country most of the time. You can't live of McDonald's. And if you are married and have kids forget it. HongKong was different 20 years ago. Ps Cathay Pacific hires future captains and that's what you have to show them.
