Eh?
There is NO housing benefit, and NO confirmed tickets.
HKA won't even upgrade Captains to Biz Class on their
own services.
Pilots with families (those who desire a good education for their children) aren't bringing them to HKG because the good schools are full, and way too costly on a HKA salary anyhow.
HKG property values are in a crazy bubble, and no wise guy would buy at these inflated prices. That means a life of renting (burning money you could be using to pay a mortgage with) and living in a TINY high rise dog-box apartment in soulless Tung Chung (with your stir-crazy unemployed wife, and stressed out Chinese public school kids). Not likely to be a happy long term arrangement for most. Maybe ok if you come from 3rd world.
No wife/kids? Suits you Sir.
Until a better offer comes along.
One thing I can't understand from the salary numbers and conditions posted on here, why would HNA pay 25000 dollars to work for their companies in mainland china but much less in HKA?
HNA made the (incorrect) assumption that they don't need to pay the Big Bucks to Westerners to work in Westernised HKG.....
the 2nd most expensive city in the world.
A desperate crew shortage is the result.
