Relocation/Return to Aus
To my fellow expats partaking in the exodus, I thought I'd drop this in here. (any admins, please delete if not allowed).
Like many of you, I am leaving and taking the family back to Aus, in search of greener pastures. The admin/financial side of things has been tricky, to say the least, but I was put onto a lad called Luke Voyce at SJP, and he has been a lifesaver.... will post his info card below. Helps with moving MPF, Tax, investments, all sorts. Seems to be specializing in pilots specifically.
Like I said, please delete if not appropriate, but just keen to help others out who have been shafted by HK/CX over the last few years.
Blue side up!! (or happy retirement!)

Yes, hardly an exodus. At least less than historical numbers, as the COO would say.

Yes, airlines do share with other airlines the number of people that have applied from their companies……

You mean the 1200 already ahead of me they are gone, or the management message on yammer going around all the senior managers with exact aggregate numbers of the number of CX pilots applying for other companies?

What would be really interesting, would be to see how many peeps would return to Cathay if offered a job, perhaps even with some perks, since seniority at CX no longer exists.
My guess would be none. Even DEC on a base.
You'd have to be out of your mind, but horses for courses I suppose..
There is a great big wide world out there, and they need us more than we need to put up with the crap of Hong Kong, regardless of the Ts and Cs.
For those still hanging on for grim death, good luck to you, and you have my sympathies, as it's not easy leaving a long, and what was, a great career.

Honestly, I’m 100% sure he gets paid per post so doesn’t surprise me with the garbage I see on here. It doesn’t take a genius to see what’s happening but I guess anyone can stick their head in the ground and say it’s alright.
One only needs to look, right here, at the active user section of this forum. Today, around 10 members and around 68 guests.Where have all the regular contributors, some quite famous, gone ?
My usual 'lurk about' on a week-end morning would observe a solid core of Peers having, often profane, slagging matches.I would reach for the popcorn and enjoy the entertainment although, I, myself, was torn into & dismissed on quite a few occasions
Of course bods are leaving in droves for the most obvious of reasons and it remains a very sad observation that this once great airline company is, no longer.

So that would be the only issue.
