Well Med, it's way better than eva. At O8, if you are not type rated, you have to pay for your rating. But not at Cathay.

C ya at the avi8ter.

There are also blue and yellow cups, these are intended for the relief pilot (blue) and SO (yellow). What started as a good idea, evolved into a sense of entitlement for some pricks that have nothing else in life except being a Cathay COMMANDER!!!

Mayday.

You've just offended some of the relief guys mate. They get the YELLOW cup and the poor peon S/O get the 'baby blue'.

Enjoy your "white coffee".

If the S/O is female she made be offended by the blue cup, but then again............

Bump. My buddy interviews there soon and his interview is stateside. Any news on that "single HK interview" idea?

Doesn't apply to North Americans.

A friend of mine has just ben offered a Paris interview, so I guess it doesn't apply to Europe either?

Airlinepilotpay.com says that CX pays per diem in local currency upon check-in, what is the amount in US dollars?

The retirement fund can be taken in 15.5% in extra pay (correct me if Im wrong here), if one is to chose this option, does CX provide some sort of 401K sponsorship (not 401k matching, just pre-tax deposits) for tax shelter? Or do most guys just roll the after tax into a ROTH IRA and the rest in a bunch of other stuff? Thanks

First off, be careful looking at the pay on Airlinepilotpay. Im not sure what PAX pay that displays. I can tell you it is not the USAB "B" scale that many of us are employed under (prior to joining jan08). It looks like the new conditions of service (cos08=pay cut) but im not sure. Freighter pay has been increased by a whopping 3% from the figures shown.

"Allowances" are given in cash upon check in to the Hotel. It is in local currency based on the costs of meals, laundry etc. in the hotel. For instance, a 48HR stay in NYC is roughly 240.00 USD. You won't see 240 USD for 48 hours in JoBurg.

You are also paid "duty pay" which is based on the flight hours flown up to 84 hours. Right now it works out around another 400-600 USD a month depending on what you did.

Your question regarding the 15.5% payout totally depends on what job you are interviewing for. For S/O's you have only 2 P-Fund options to invest in and no cash option. If you are a DEFO, then the cash option is available. Most guys take the cash and do their own investing.

Hey man, why are you lurking here?! Is Indo not enough for you? Dude, you know that so-called job that I have, everything is all good except its day to day. How are you spending your days these days? I envy you! Good to hear from you though.

ERJ, thanks for you inputs, always! Cheers
