You can't argue with the contracts, and if age 65 goes through - that's 10 additional years of flying at premium pay, while Cathay is stuck at 55. Though I did perform well on the initial interview, I have personally opted not to pursue Cathay any further, purely because of my impression of the corporate culture. I'm not a good fit. Nor are they for me. Should anyone need some of the notes that I reviewed for the initial interview, feel free to PM me and I'll send them on. They were certainly more than adequate, and will save you a tremendous expense on books. To each their own...
Interesting. A friend of mine interviewed there as well and had some of the same opinions you had. Didn't care for the corporate culture or the impression he got in the interview. Don't get me wrong, he is not from the states, has lived in various countries, and had to adapt to various cultures. So he wouldn't be the typical "yank" you hear complaining on pprune (or being complained ABOUT).
On the flip side, another friend of mine is there and absolutely loves it.
Different strokes for different folks I guess.
