Anyone heard anything yet?

Apparently there is a cadet pilot programme for Air Hong Kong...we shall wait and see.

i'm not sure if there's a "Cadet Pilot Programme" (CPP)......but the one i'm talking about is called the Ab-initio DE F/O programme, which is designed for Instrument Rated CPL holders with at least 250 hours. A really fast-tracked course for the RHS on AHK's A300-600Fs.

HKA has Ab-initio DE F/O last year when I went into their website.
They remove Ab-initio DE F/O hiring after the recession hits the globe

Thanks for your info nicholasblonde.
i m sorry to hear about the rejection dude.
ab-initio DE F/O is the (only) one i m (qualified to) after and i have received an email about a month ago saying that my application (submitted about 3 months ago) is being considered and they will notify those shortlisted applicants in due course.....

That's the letter i got from them:

"Dear Mr X

Thank you for sending your resume to AHK Air Hong Kong Limited (AHK).

AHK will consider your application, together with other similar
applications received, with a view to running special 'low or non-jet
experience' interviews and transition courses at a later date. In the

We will contact those selected applicants at the appropriate time.

Thank you for your interest in joining AHK.

I'm a CRJ FO (active) in the US with an ATP--I just received a rejection email for an application I sent back in Summer/Fall 2008 about 5 weeks ago--I had applied for both ab-initio (when it was up still) and DEFO.

I would imagine they are not doing ab initio anymore...who knows what the future holds though.

I am the same as you... current CRJ FO with ATP, but have about 1500Hrs heavy time. I also applied in about the same time frame. They call me and said they wanted to set up a phone interview, and then a possible interview in HKG. About 2 weeks went by and I got an email saying they were not hiring people who did not live in SE Asia, but they would keep my CV on file.
So dont know what happend?

That's a bummer PCLCREW...maybe you should get a gf over there...heard your old co. (think you sat sideways once, right???) might be hiring again if you're the guy I'm thinking of...think you could go back on the -400?

You might also try Omni in Tulsa...they have a solid DoD charter and 3 Omni pilots have confirmed to me that they are hiring for sure...positive space from home for all assignments? Sign me up!!!!!
