Is anybody happy at Cathay?

I can't tell if this forum is just a melting pot for all of the bitter pilots out there who simply can't be pleased or if the majority of folks are generally unhappy working at Cathay. I really want to fly for Cathay Pacific one day when I'm qualified for advanced entry, but I can't exactly ignore what's being said on here.

From what I've gathered, a pay raise was supposed to be given, but wasn't, housing allowance has been reduced, and there's a C scale in place for new hires (DESO pay still seems alright for a single guy like me, but definitely not conducive to raising a family). And because of all of this, pilots are doing contract compliance to pressure management to reverse these things. Am I getting this right and is there anything else I should be aware of?

I really would like to know what I would be getting into if I were to be hired.

Thanks
