It will be very unlikely that anyone will make a career of CX through this program, the flying will be so boring (answering a CPDLC call now and again) you will never get to fly the airplane at all, and your currency will be done in the sim all the time, the salary will get you a place the size of a shoe box in Hong Kong and although it is a great city with tons of night life, you will not be able to afford it! is very expensive to live with any sort of social agenda there. The time line will be more like 9 years to upgrade to F/O and 20 years for a captain upgrade for what I hear, and in top of everything, you spend all that time flying as an S/O, you get sick of it and then you can't even get a job flying in any other company abroad because the vast majority of places will not take S/O time at all, many places won't even take cruise captain time. Do a LOT of research on this so called "opportunity" before you jump in.
