Sorry Tricia. I understand you desire for a 'career', but coming here will probably prove to be a terrible mistake. As for the term 'useful idiot', no personal offence meant. It's a term from the cold war days, perhaps google it. Seriously, this is a miserable part of the world to be an airline pilot now. There is no joy in any company in HK anymore. Take it from someone who has been here a very long time. Good luck with whatever you decide.
