Haha that’s a good one! Most of the information being given here is very much more accurate than what you’d get from someone in the company whose position requires them to drink and spread the cool aid.
The people defending CX on here must either be in management or they are former A or B scalers who are minted and don’t really need the money anymore. That’s a fact!

The thread is titled Conditions for cadets, what about the conditions for FO's, Captains, Base training Captains, fleet office managers? The conditions for the entire airline is now so bad + you get the added bonus of endless punitive and disiplanary policies which are literally amended and added every other day.

Good luck
You’ll be making about $32,000 HKD per month for the first three years and be bonded for six.
How you’re supposed to live on that in HKG unless you live at home with your parents or have a second income is beyond me.
For full disclosure, I myself was a cadet over 10 years ago but got paid nearly double that amount when I started and that was hard enough. Take into account inflation since then and do the maths.
You’ll be the lowest paid aircrew in the world.
