Americans at Cathay
Any Americans at Cathay on this forum? If so, could you answer a couple of ???s?
I'm an American interested in flying for Cathay (mostly for the opportunity to be based overseas). My poking around this site has left me with the following impression:
CX doesn't like to hire Yanks because they cause trouble - "militant" is the word used by one poster - and run back to American carriers at the first opportunity. Is this true?
Am I nuts chasing CX when I have the largest (though currently slumping) aviation market in the world to choose from? Does it REALLY compare as unfavorably to US carriers as many posters seem to think? With the current troubles at UAL, et al are there alot of drivers gravitating towards Hong Kong?
Does it really take 15 years to move into the left seat at CX as one thread had it!?!? Holy Stalled Career, Batman!
I'm 36. Too old for a CX new-hire?
