Hong Kong Airlines going to be bigger than CX in 5 years I hear and desperate for the kind of experience these Monarch guys have.

I would do your homework brfore joining CX as a Second Officer. A big kick in the pants if you were an SFO or Capt with Monarch. Simply put, a devastating drop in self respect and esteem if you become a radio operator and/ or bunk maker @ CX . Unless you are under 30, no chance.
HKA - they have a few planes on order but have a queue of Malaysian pilots inline to fill their needs. Theres no way they ever going to challeng CX on fleet size. More equatable to CXDragon.
Asia is not the answer for most, unless its china and the big $$$. But having 20 years in Monarch n going to china .. ffs thats a gutsy move .
