Thanks for your responses. I'm not a typical yank who would be applying. I'm single, no kids. I've traveled to many countries and have even taken short classes on cultural diversity. I've spent time in LA, so I know about expense and bad air.
However, the comments that are concerning about Cathay are the feelings of being disrespected by others and the low morale at Cathay. However, on the other hand, I worked at two regionals in the USA in the past and I felt like I was in junior high school when dealing with my coworkers. I'll never work at a regional again. I don't mind moving. Also, the direction the US is going with Donald Trump is making Cathay look more attractive.
