Hey Mate - do you recall any of the names of the blokes that interviewed you? I'm just wondering how many of those KA "Out of Office" emails are due to Oasis...? :}
I've already posted a brief T&C's above.
Andy Kumaria and Brian Spencer (Eng) consisted of the Interview panel.
Quite an informal interview with a few general tech questions, nothing horrifying.

Any idea about the TAX?

TAX in HK is 15% of your income, which is pretty high if you ask me.

Hello guys and girls,
Does anyone think Oasis will have Cadet Pilot Programme in the future, because other Hong Kong based airlines already have that... (KA and CX)
And also, is Oasis going for the B744 or A340?
Thanks for replying ;)

CPP, i very much doubt it, even all the guys and girls being recruited now are all type rated. So going through a cadet progaram will take maybe upto 18mths before becoming online. i dont think oasis can expand that quickly to justify a CPP.
They using ex UA 744's
Left Wing
15th Sep 2005, 05:47
An airline has to have minimum of 30 airplanes to be able to run a CPP.
How ever there was an advert for cadets in Flt Intl' a few mths back looking for EU resindets?
Deske1
15th Sep 2005, 10:00
Yes,there was.They want all the flt crew to be based and have the right to live and work either in the EU or in the US.
The plan is to start first to London-Gatwick next year and after to Oakland.

yep, the ad in flight was also for second officers but they had a large pool of type rated guys so that was that! but hang on in there - i reckon that they are going to give cathay a run for thier money

There were objections raised by other operators to their route licence application to the Hong Kong licensing authority (ATLA) which required responses and another hearing which is due early November. Possibly original target was overly ambitious as well.

Andy Kumaria is 61 now so he's too old to fly a heavy.
Tax in Hong Kong was 15% shortly to become 16%. Instead of being taxed for your housing allowance they allow you to add 10% to that figure. So 16.5%, presumably going up to 17.6%. You are not entitled to any personal tax allowance so that percentage figure is only good if your salary is high.

Is Oasis still hoping to operate a couple of UA 744s? I have read that UA have got nearly all their 744s back into service.
Deske1
21st Feb 2006, 00:52
Any news about them?

Their start has been further delayed as a result of a delay getting their AOC. This means that the deal on the ex-UA 744s has lapsed and the aircraft in question have gone to another operator. Oasis are now in search of other 744s, which I imagine won't be too hard to find seeing there are ex-SQ and soon ex- MH specimens around.
As far as I know, no interviews have taken place yet.

50 thousand squids a year for F/Os, Gatwick base. GSS are going to be short of pilots soon - I reckon!
Just wondering if anyone has received their contract yet?

Article in todays FI states they have sourced 2 747-400 from Deucalion Capital, to go Hong Kong LGW from September.........(of course CX still has HKG-LGW rights............):D

The aircraft in question are Ex SQ, currently operated by Air Atlanta having just been leased to Iberia!!
ScootCargoOps
28th Mar 2006, 04:48
if they were operated by Air Atlanta before, is that a bad thing?
CathayPacific

Just curious, what would be the minimum hours for the SO position?:)
thanks
They are in pretty good shape. Much better than they were when we started operating them almost 2 years ago after having sat in SIN for several years.
They have been maintained well and operated with experienced -400 crews so the fact that AAI has been operating them shouldn't mean a thing.
ScootCargoOps

I've seen some of the AAI Freighter fleet in operation and they didn't seem the best keep aircraft. I guess the passenger fleet is in a lot better condition.
Denzil
29th Mar 2006, 19:06
The aircraft have recently had heavy maintenance checks at SIA, so should be in as good shape as any B744's!!!

could anyone give some advise on the screening process with Oasis?
-technical exam - interview- aptitude tests(if applicable).
thanks!
I can tell you the following about the S/O selection process
It lasted one day and took place at Heatrow airport (BA training center)
round 90 minutes interview (Standard questions about your motivations and some technical questions).
Then basic handling sim ride (20-30 min) in BOAC 1-11. Raw data flying.
No written exam. If well prepared for tech quiz, raw data flying and basic Human ressources questions should be ok
Good book to prepare : "ACE the technical pilot interview" by D Bristow
Hope this might help you.
Good luck :ok:
The BOAC 1-11 is nearly as good as Cathays 60th Anniversary model a/c collection featuring the Vickers Catalina. They have only made 600 maybe they will be worth something on ebay!
