There is the same whingeing going on over at planetalk7 where cabin crew are complaining that they should receive the same benefits as the pilots. What is it with the local culture? Why do they always expect something as a right just because someone else has it and then when they don't get it they cry racism?
Grow up lads for Christ's sake!

I don't think anyone there has said they expect what the pilots get in terms of housing Healy. At least I didn't see that.
What the FA's want is basically enough housing to not have to share a flat and still live in a decent place. This decent place would probably be sneered at by the pilots.
Whether or not you want to go as far as to call it racism is up to the individual. I personally don't care what the reason behind it is, just interested in the cure.
As for shelving housing allowances all together, when you go to places like the UK or Aus or Canada, there is no such allowance for expats so you have an arguement. I do suspect it will be less attractive proposition to join CX though.
Stay cool everyone, just a discussion here.

Mr. Nice Guy, glad you remember what I'm doing!
I've got a call from FCR at last! Thank you to you all with your advise.
I'd love to tell you guys all the details but is it ok to expose myself here? My situation is a bit unusual so it'd be easy to identify me if someone has access to my files
I'm happy to send private e-mails, though. Just let me know!

I know there's this big issue of whether ethnic Chinese get paid less. I'm neither an employee nor a pilot for CX so I'm in no position to comment. I'm a Canadian Chinese who applied for their cadet pilot program. I'm very envious of all you pilots who have good vision (mine is -6D) and the opportunity to work in the cockpit for a living. How much have I dreamt of such a job?! However, I must rely on their cadet program because as you all know, flight training is very expensive. Can any of you professionals offer me any advice on getting into the airline system? Working at CX might be a drag for some of you in the system, but for me, it would be a dream come true.
Does CX accept medical requirements to JAR standards? Any info whether they are going to lower their vision requirements? Any advice is welcomed.
