I thought CX's salaries were too high compared to the competition, which is one reason they can justify cutting housing allowances. The article says itself "The airline said it was focused on implementing big changes to pilot pay as its cost structure was “out of line” with that of its competitors.".
I'd be curious if the expats would put up with the smoking on the flight deck when they move to a mainland carrier.
I'm sure there's always places that will pay even more so if money is the objective, why not shop around the world, not just within Asia.
