There is no such thing as a Cathay freighter only pilot anymore. The company sold their pax 747’s and the remaining aircraft were only freighters. A majority of those pilots never signed up to fly the freighter only. They were forced onto this type of flying through circumstances and bullcrap policies which has prevented a lot of senior guys from transferring to other fleets while watching juniors take their place.

Now that that has been cleared up your retirement age as a new joiner is the same as every other new joiner but these days most people don’t stick around till retirement.

65, but don’t come here.... wish I never would have and now stuck due to seniority handcuffs.

The retirement age is when the roster finally kills you or debilitates you to the point where you can’t hold a medical or 65, whichever comes first.

Thanks for the info. I’ll give it a wide berth.
