You might want to talk to a CX pilot or even go to HKG before joining CX. It's gotten so ugly. Pilots, Yes even captains, are retiring early or just quitting because of the mess (read schedules). Perhaps you heard of the 2000$ (257$ USD) the pilots just got for profit sharing. Go and see what the guys and gals at DAL/SWA and UAL got!

Honestly, it's just not worth it. This is from an inside source.

They even have Canadians leaving back to Canada o fly turboprops. Two Captains have quit to go back the their countries to fly Turboprops. This should tell you something.
