Hi there,
I'm hoping someone can help me out with some information....my boyfriend is currently interviewing with Cathay, and I'm trying to be a supportive girlfriend, but I have some questions that I can't find answers to, mostly about pilot schedules. I fully understand that he will be away at times, but being alone at home (British Columbia, Canada) is one thing, being in HK may be another story. I would be really excited to go in many respects, I just want to be prepared for what life would really be like, so that I don't end up being resentful of things that he can't control.
Does anyone have a significant other that works for Cathay (B-scale) that could tell me something about the time they spend away (how many days at a time, how many days off per month on average that they are actually off and at home) and also give me some idea of how Cathay's pay on the new lower scale measures up. Is is still manageable to live/save some money based on what they are providing? We both want some of these answers so that we can make the right decision.
Thanks so much!
