CR Airways guys that have agreed to fly it for sweet FUC? ALL......

But then again that was a pay rise from an already sweet F.A wage for flying the baby CRJ......

And what an absolute UGLY looking airplane it is in that pink and white colour!


Silly BUGGERS!!!:ugh::ugh::ugh:

It was the girls from Fenwicks that thought pink would be the best colour and the CR management listens to them.:ok:

I thought that Hainan bought a chunk of CR not so long ago, can't really back that up though.
I hear the 738 is ex Hainan.

Hainan has 45% of CR airways and as far as the "tea lady" knows (and thats more than most) they have no interest in HKE (whats to offer?).

Well you know this one time at bandcamp...... I heard Hainan signed the papers this week and a new plane should be on the ramp later this year.

Have they already hired crew for this 2nd 737? Is HKE planning on interviewing pilots soon for the subsequent planes? Would really appreciate any info. Thanks!

What is the status of the CRJ at CR? Are they going to be replaced with something bigger? I am a HKG local flying CRJ in the US. I submitted my resume several times but haven't heard from them. I don't have enough time for the left seat but any CRJ FO hiring in the near future? Thanks!

CRJ is leaving fleet in the next few weeks. Heavy on EX CRJ crews waiting for B737 conversion.

The B737 is on the website, and in HKG, another will be there shortly, with the third soon following. Hiring is up to the 4th aircraft or so, at this point.

B737 Typed, Glass Time, Age under 50 are all positives I think.

I won't post salary here, but it is more than North American standards, less than some of the Indian Contract flying..it's fair. No Housing, schooling, ect...

MOST IMPORTANTLY - Training is free, there is no buy a type and get a job scheme as advertised on ASG site.

The two CRJ200s left the fleet a few weeks back. They only have the sole CRJ700 left now. The second CRJ700 was fully painted but never taken. Still sitting in Copenhagen.

Sorry to butt in from the SLF perspective, but I'm a bit worried that the CRJ is going - my girlfriend and I have been taking it fairly regularly between HKG and CRK, but the loads have been fairly light (perhaps 20-25 on average, but as low as 15 and as high as 40). Is it really going to be economical to fly a 737 for that few people or should I start making other plans for getting to Pampanga in the future?

CRJ is leaving fleet in the next few weeks.I guess this is why they have now "suspended" the HKG-CRK run, as I just discovered when I tried to book for next weekend.

Does anyone here have inside knowledge on whether and/or when it will be reinstated with the 738s?

CR could do with someone updating their website a bit more regularly too...
