Cathay Pacific info, London base.

Hi,

Wondering if anyone can shed some light on life on being London based with with Cathay. All the usual bits and bobs, lifestyle, money, rostering, time to command etc, etc.

Any info greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I have just had a look at PPJN, it depends what you are going there as i.e. captain or F/O. Looks like Hong Kong for a while, then transfer to europe base!

Hope this helps.

Mackey I sorry but you obviously have no idea what it is like to work for Cathay at any base let alone LHR.

EK there is a lot of info on CX (good and bad) on the Fragrant Harbour Wannabes Forum.

But about a fifth of that for a freighter command.

That was before the crisis and integration of KA and Oasis. Plus Freighter command means also freighter pay and freighter roster
