shortly,
Come on - if you can make a packet doing something that you love you might as well. I mean, Cathay Pacific isn't the ONLY airline in the world - although by the way that some people talk getting hired there is the equivalent of being selected for a moon landing.
Anyway, they don't have to completely replace expats to have a negative impact on remuneration.
So, do you know where I can find out how much Cathay drivers make and how much they have to work? In the U.S. this info is put out by an outfit called AIR, inc (jet-jobs.com) but it only covers U.S. carriers, of course.
Thanks!
