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.
