calypso - I very, very much doubt that. I've been here 20 years, so know the score, and in the highly unlikely event that you're correct, then I'll leave the industry altogether. It's just not worth the agg anymore.

Nah, not when it's on my terms thanks!
I've made plenty, so can retire now at 47. So happy to readjust, drive a wagon, or work in a coffee shop.
Thing is, I've got a bit more in me unfortunately, maybe I enjoy flying. But I certainly can give a bit back, and do a bit of training.
Don't be jealous about it, because it comes across as a keyboard warrior with sour grapes.
But yes, I joined Cathay on B scale, and walk away with 2 million USD cash in my back pocket after 20 years, free and clear (smart property choices on the housing allowance and the provident fund). Nice one.
I'll get me tin hat, but it's not exactly my fault is it?

calypso - how on earth do I sound bitter? Just relieved that I and many colleagues had a good run, and it's time to leave HKG to go down the khazi, which is quite unfortunate. It wasn't on the plans, that's for sure.
Anyway, moving right along. I think we can have gone waaaaay off thread.
And a groan from someone with Yellow Fever, blimey. If I had yellow fever I might miss the place, but I don't and won't.
I think we'll just call it a day on this thread then.
