The last pilot hired onto a base in the US was hired in April or March of 2008. Its a shame b/c it is a pretty good gig for those on a base. After that it was solely SO's in HKG. As of about two years ago, the package changed so that nobody receives housing allowance anymore. Pretty poor package. Considering that half the company doesn't want to go to HKG on $10K USD/Mo for housing, I'm surprised they get anyone willing to do it for free. Oh wait, no I'm not. Regional Airline or CX with no housing.....not that hard of a decision if you only have 100-1000 hrs, CX's new bread and butter.

A recent freighter captain
Someone told me on a recent trip, that a CX Freighter Captain had been hired by Boeing. I said I did not know Boeing was hiring and I would like to apply, as many perhaps would! The pilot told me he was Canadian and I went "huh"? Foreigners cannot work for a U.S. company. So, I researched it and found this!

Nice to hear an CX freighter guy (and maybe a DEC they hired) is possibly going to be a scab at Boeing.
Some real winners over at CX I have heard.

Me and a buddy had an interview scheduled back in 05 or 06, I can't remember. The more we looked into it, we both decided to decline the interview. They expected you to be able to design the airplane for the interview.
The senior guys at CX have been negotiating B and C scales for those below them since at least the early 90's. Nothing new. "I am onboard, pull the ladder up".
No thanks.

CX introduced the B and C scales without consult with the AOA the older guys did not throw us under the bus...we are on individual contracts here and there is no collective bargaining.
I am not a lover of my employer but your 'facts' are off.

Is Boeing shafting their current "line assist" pilots... it would appear so... but the guys doing the work are in NO way SCABS...
