Fragrant HarbourA forum for the large number of pilots (expats and locals) based with the various airlines in Hong Kong. Air Traffic Controllers are also warmly welcomed into the forum.
Hi everyone, Any idea what is the 2010 salary for F/O with AHK? I got an email saying
"You are currently under consideration for selection to attend an Initial Interview in Hong Kong.
However, to be eligible for selection, you must have first completed and returned, to the email address below, the attached Application for Employment - Aircrew form.
Thank you for your interest in AHK.
Rgds, AHK Air Hong Kong Ltd"
Any information about the job and pilot life there, will appreciated.
Hey Skyez the limit, I'm interested also in the sort of package they have What sort of experience did you have when you applied for ahk? I'd like to apply in 6 months or so
Received an email to fill in the application and return it with an updated CV. I've since sent in my application and CV that was 2 months ago. Nothing heard. I have TT5000 with 2000 jet over 50 tonnes. What are they looking for scratching my head for this one.
Thanks, I was applying for the FO position. Thought they will be more keen for pilots with SE Asian passport, maybe I just didn't qualify. Good luck to the rest. Cheers.
bmarly26, are you not bonded at Rex?? How does that work?
And some advice........avoid HKE/HKA. Apart from management issues and standards issues, the pay is far too low to accept. Its lowering the value our skills significantly
Anymore updates or information regarding AHK anyone?
What is the atmosphere like? Have things changed since the original few posts on this thread?
Are there many ex-pat crews who commute to base following days off? If so, what are typical accommodation arrangements for their 8 days on? I read in an earlier post that they no longer use Headland, where do they place crews now?
Is the roster 8 on / 6 off fixed, or is there flexibility to arrange days off to allow for european commuting?
The company seem on the surface to be in reasonable shape, any plans for expansion?
I have family and friends in HKG, hence my interest.
I have 2000tt with 1800hrs on 737-300/500, does this put me in the right ball park for required experience?
looks like selection has been a bit picky with regarding to TT. guys with jet time are not getting a shot at an interview. or maybe just the 1st interview.......
Has anyone been to the first round of this years scheduled recruitment interviews for the A300? I know there were interviews commencing on 26th April, I've got mine coming up in Aug (as F/O) so I'll let you know what it's like then.
For those that might have been already, what was the assessment process like?
It seems there will be a 2nd round after the initial interview, are they expecting us to pay for travel and accommodation for round 2 aswell?!....not cheap as I'm coming from the UK.
- Hiring Direct Entry Captains even though most FO's are ready for CMD
- Bias RT/PC
- Junior Captains becoming TC's over Senior Captains
- Direct Entry Captain becoming CTC in 6 months AND without even becoming a TC or STC first
- Former CTC, DCTC and MQSS all resign with in months from one another
- Crew moved out of Headland. So much for 60% CX owned
- CMD assesment for Asians different from the Caucasians
Shall I continue?
RedBaran:
Rumour out there, management is breaking up. Back stabbing, mud slinging among them. AD and RD at it again as they did in CX.!
CAD and DHL on them with AOC sitting on soft grounds. Smoking & sick note mismanagement issues. Seems the 'young asian bugger' took 'the Hitler' on.. What a shame. May be dragged to court soon.??
Training department in shambles with two chaps in-charge overnite.??
Terminated/sacked pilots from HKA/HKE seem to be taking over AHK.
I was supposed to interview there last month but got tied up so maybe this month. Still don't know if its for Captain or FO slot as i submitted for Captain but who knows...
