Oh... Don't Bother

FYI CO JOs applying for direct entry FO's. This is what they said, there will be no upgrades event if you have loads of hours on type.

Second, as I feel, this is not a hong kong company. Was interviewed and felt disgusted. 4 guys on the panel. 1 Chinese, 1 Philipino (Baldy), 1 Malaysian, and the last one, I don't bother. Point is that these ppl are just lack of confidence.

Question is, Does HKA really knows what they HK ppl wants? Politically speaking, Hong kong and philipines don't really have a good relationship after the bus hijack incident. Why put a Flip there? And the dispute of spraty islands... LOL this is going to be interesting.

Not a single white guy in that interview and not a single hong kong chinese in that interview. I am not impress.

In a nutshell

- The company culture is punitive, requiring strict compliance. There are many rules the employees must follow to avoid punishment or disadvantages. Many deficits in leadership style and training philosophy.
- Unacceptably high command failure rate in a very lengthy upgrade assessment. This entails a high attrition rate.
- Airbus procedures are perverted by many company modifications and policies which increases the complexity of daily life as pilot significantly. No room for common sense. Their excuse: "we have many nationalities on the flight deck."
- There is no training, it's all checking.
- One has low influence on her/his individual duty plans, many restrictions. Their excuse: "lack of manpower." As a consequence expect many changes in shift and therefore a high level of fatigue.
- Hong Kong has a very liberal jurisdiction and is one of the most expensive cities in the world. Imho its people are not the friendliest.

--> It is a terrible airline, it is a terrible region. You are nothing but a working slave. Avoid, if you are not desperate.

Just to try to counter some of this negativity here, I worked at HKA for three years. There is no question that the experience I gained there lead to my career job I’m at now. I was happy at HKA and am very happy at my new airline. Is HKA a career job? No. Is it a horrible place like the others say here? No. Does it look bad on your resume?? No!

well said mate. The airline has come a long way and is run fairly well.

They offer quite a bit now for the pilots, especially upgraders. Quality has changed and the Managment are quite good now. (80% you could say).

Good luck on your careeer move.
