2. What are the chances to upgrade to FO someday?
3. What is it like living in HKG?
I did some research on foreign sites and there were a lot of peeved Aussies and Brits that didn't think the SO programme was worth a darn. Just curious if anyone has anything more up to date. That should be it for now. Thanks!
Sounds like you have A LOT of research to do...
6,000$ a month is not what you will take home, even if it was this is barely enough to live.
As a SO you will not get a type rating, and as many have stated already many airlines will not accept any of your SO or P3 time.
Do hard research... coming on here and asking questions is good, but you need to go to websites and see just how much apartments are in HK, how much food costs in HK etc etc etc. HK is one of the most expensive cities to live in on the planet.
If you have family in HK that you can live with, go for it... If you dont good luck, your gonna need it.
