An LEP with a huge mortgage and expensive school fees for his 3 kids might actually struggle to make ends meet when staring down the SLS barrel....

"Well who's fault is that?

Should have bought a cheaper house or sent them to a cheaper school."

Well thanks Kent, I knew I should've bought the 400sqft box in Sheung Shui instead of the 600sqft one....and send the kids to the local village school, "a future" is so overated....

If you are responding to the LEP post, then I'll just have to ask: do you know the Absolute Majority of LEPs are on B scale already?

The fact is when exclusively comparing a HKG-based pilot to an LEP, the LEP is worse off in this SLS deal, as we still have to pay our mortgages and keep the kids in school - out of our basic salary. And let's face it, Hong Kong is not a cheap place to live in. Taking SLS means an bigger overall "package" percentage deduction for the LEP vs a HKG-based expat.

The thing that amuses me in all this, is the amount of pussyfooting around and lack of an edge (ie Balls)the CX brigade have. And maybe the bottom 50 KA pu$$ies.You DONt have to sign, and if you feel stronglty, stick to your bow and arrows, shoot low and maybe score a hit.

As I said ages ago, its the DEC boyz who are scoring big. They are gaining, despite running to management wiv their SLS schemes in hand, please CX manager sir, give me unpaid. I have earnt it despite NEVER being in a union when I was in KA OR now CX. And I want support from the senior guys to protect my base, my lifestyle and my earnings. Take a cut guys for the DEC;s , now theres a good fellow.

And a message to the KA A scalers....welcome back to the bus you loo$er$. Gonna quit? I rem you saying, like hell you will.
