Air Hong Kong, the A300-600 cargo outfit
Aww come on Dekka, don't get all girlie on me.
Seriously though, there are a lot of guys that are looking for jobs and they just want to know what they can expect. On the one hand you've told us that you can expect to almost double your basic salary and fly around 45-55 hours a month. That just doesn't make sense given the numbers AHK gave me. If I'm wrong fine but you've not really explained how you can make an extra $40,000 a year.
If anyone is really interested in AHK and wants to see the figures they send out to interviewees, let me know and I'll forward it to you.

FO salary is 46K a year, 3833 usd a month.
They pay 32 usd each hr for the first 45 hs. That is 1440 usd a month.
Basic plus 45 hs is 5373 usd.
each extra hr of 45 is paid 70 usd. Let say 5 hs exta a month, thats 350 usd.
Basic plus 45 hs plus extra 5 hs thats a total of 5623 USD flying 50 hs a month.
perdiems are 700 usd for 8 days. 16 days a month aprox 1400 usd a month.
Basic (3833 usd) + 45 hs (32 usd x hr) + 5 hs (70 usd x hr) + Per diems (1400 usd) = 7023 usd a month.
11 months full salary plus 1 month basic salary (vacations with no flying, no per diem, etc) = 81086 usd per year.

Kenny,
No, I'm not Mesa, or for that matter any regional. I didn't go that route because of what you supposingly claim-I didn't take a shiny jet because of that insultingly low pay.
And I don't believe for one second that there ever was a regional starting you out at 35000 in the first year. Yeah, right; maybe, and even then I don't know, if you worked every extra day that you legally could. But where's the life in that.
I'm glad I didn't get to taste regional life.
On the AHK issue, I won't get in on that, because I don't know.

Now you're telling me that you can make an extra $40,000 over the basic salary? And still have the quality of life that you've said make up for the low basic?

I am interested in the Ab-Initio DEFO offered by AHK, because I'm a fresh graduate with Frozen ATPL with 0 Jet Hours.
Getting into AHK would be great for me, because I would be flying a widebody and I love the 8 days on 6 days off lifestyle. Don't mind with the 4 years bond, I'm willing to spend the 4 years to clock up my widebody Jet hours.

I barely hit the minimums for DEFO, do you think have any chanche to be hired? How's life for european guys? Pretty much upset to leave Italy...but my current work going really bad...and..must admit...big iron sounds good!!
