Yes the infos are there , as well as the application form (same as CX really ) .
Anybody with inside infos at all ?
What I'd really like to know is : What are the chances to get an interview at the moment ? Are they taking anyone ?

thanks....

I'll do the work for you.

Dragonair - Careers : Flight Crew Position

There. Not difficult. Actually, part of the selection process is finding the info in the first place!!!!

But in answer to your question, recruitment has slowed a bit mainly because of a fleet re-organisation with the Boeing freighter guys coming of the shrinking Classic 747 fleet being trained up on the Airbus.

Another part of the selection process is the correct usage of 'your'.

No hiring in the near future ( next few months ), powers that be reckon the current numbers are good and no new a/c 'til next year.
Of course, if the guys that reckon they are leaving actually do, it will be a different matter.

Since nobody else did, I'll bite, has anyone ever heard of KA hiring contract pilots ( unless you consider the FTC contractors ? )

A contract company did advertise jobs in HK for A320/330 rated pilots with identical Ts and Cs to KA's about a year ago. No contract pilots were hired by KA, possibly because the improved Ts and Cs had the desired effect on retention.
