Wow. I don't think anyone needs to take anything said here personally. It seems that each person was just talking from their own valid experiences. There was no condemnation or finger wagging, just different perspectives on how the PREVIOUS actions of a few Americans can make it difficult for those of us who would love to go to CX.

I guess, but go through the guys post and count how many times the word YOU (meaning me) is used in his reply to mine. If it wasn't meant to be personal, I think the term "somebody" instead of "you" would have been more appropriate.

I only quoted your post for a piece of it. The YOU I was mentioning was not specifically toward YOU. If YOU want to get yourself worked up then fine by me. If it came off that way then it is not how I meant it. Saying someone this and that makes no sense, I should have used the term "one" rather than you but I tend to type as if I was speaking to a person face to face.
I never said CX was the end all be all of anything, I even mentioned people being unhappy. Quit getting all worked up, the you was not used in the context in which you chose to take it.

The OP asked a question and he got an answer from two people currently working for the company and one that left. Beyond that, the rest doesn't really matter.

I'm not getting "worked up" about it. Just noting how much you used the personalization in YOUR post about my view point on something. If you were speaking to someone face to face and they did the same thing I did, it would sound just as personal, think about it.

Again, not getting "worked up" as you put it. You even admitted you should have used a different term than "you" when addressing my post on the matter.

ryguy

It was really more of a rhetorical use of the word that would really require a personal conversation.

Looking at it again, I see your point and it was my fault so I appologize. Cold one on me if I ever see ya.

Wright brothers invented the first pratical airplane. People were "flying" in balloons or less advanced aircraft in Europe before 1903.
The Brazilian Santos Dumont flew around the Eiffel Tower in 1901.

I am under the impression that an upgrade on the freighter fleet would involve living in HK for a number of years at some point between the right and left seat. Is this correct? I'd love to work for CX. I wouldn't mind spending time in HK for training, but outside of training, I have no real interest in living in HK (not something I would advertise in an interview obviously). Would this mean that I would not be able to upgrade?

I have a question. How long does it take for an SO to upgrade to FO? and what's the requirement?

Kenny

There's a whole bunch of very p!ssed off SO's that aren't getting their by-pass pay, who're watching their upgrades getting further and further away because of all the based DEFO's being hired.
