Wow!
Very level headed replies so far!
I guess this is what happens when the post hits the web before noon HKG time instead of midnight… 3 coffees in the system instead of 15 beer.
IMHO: 3 options
1. Stay working in Canada and wait for AC or WJ to call.
2. Leave current company on good terms, come to cx to get a taste of the big airline environment, wait for AC or WJ to call.
Option 1 will be much less stressful on your marriage, family and finances.
If you choose option 2, all the information posted above is quite accurate.
Sorry, I forgot option 3: Stay working in Canada and wait for AC or WJ to call.
Good luck!
