Default Cathay

I am posting again, and I will try not to sound too negative. I have been researching carriers overseas and Cathay stands out as being an airline that you may want to reconsider if you want to work for them.
Cathay is only offering HK 10,000 housing allowance for I-Cadet second officers. This is not enough money to survive in Hong Kong. This represents a serious erosion in pay and benefits for pilots worldwide.
I really think that since there is a pilot shortage coming, then it may be wise to wait and not make a bad decision to join Cathay yet.
I do post often, and I may give the impression that I am negative. I am trying to be realistic. Don't allow yourself to be taken afvantage of.
