Bufe01: your profile says you joined in 2005 which makes you a B scaler - there is a massive difference in the quality of life you can expect on the A or B scale and the C scale on offer now.
Please don't underestimate the sacrifices in all aspects of your life you will be making moving to Hong Kong and working for Cathay - emotional, physical and financial. If you have any aspirations of having a family one day and providing them and yourself with anything approaching a decent life, look elsewhere.
I like to think of myself as being above the usual petty PPRuNe pettiness, but to be honest things here have deteriorated to the point where it's not worth joining any more.
