Now there you go Pax, that is how to be a smart ass without being an ass. Fly, that made me chuckle, well done sir. And sorry about the beer getting contaminated by my whine..pretty bad huh...I guess I need an order of french cries with my wahhh burger too..LOL
I'd be worried that taking a cruise pilot job at CX would result in getting stuck in that position for years. Maybe someone that knows about Cath can shed some light on that.

btw, for more info on Cathay, I would recommend the Fragrant Harbor section of PPRUNE.
Tons upon tons of inside info about Cathay, as the forum is practically devoted to it:

Just do what YOU feel is the best thing for you and your career. If you have a serious addiction to Aviation it will turn out the way YOU envision. Stay positive, have a fit when neccessary and keep plugging away. People will tell you not to stick with your dream. Tell them to "pound sand". Disappoint them, not yourself.
Just so ya'll understand me as I'm not on here much...I don't strike first, but if you hit me with snide, belittling, or judgmental smartass comments just to make yourself look smarter, then I will give it right back to you X 10. Speak to me like brianb just did, I'll never be anything but friendly and respectful to you. I'll even call someone out who is giving you a hard time as I hate message board bullies. And I will not only listen to your opinion, I'll respect it even if I disagree with it.

Anyway... you said you wanted to go some place where you can retire. The SO upgrade in the past at Cathay has been about 2 - 4 years. Think about it, even as an SO the money is ok... You also said you wanted to live in HKG, and you can do that as an SO and Cathay will pay for your place. Who cares if youre doing the landings or talking on the radio during cruise. Have a drink sit down and think about it... Ive been in your shoes and went through a period of being totally ****ed also, now I just let things happen as they will (albeit nothing has happend yet). Hopefully Ill see you in class at Cathay in future.
Good Luck
