Just a heads-up for anyone considering a move to HK Express: several new joiners have noted that the training environment can be quite challenging—not necessarily due to the content, but because of the conduct of a few trainers.
There appears to be a subset of trainers who, possibly due to limited experience and confidence in the aircraft, come across as overly critical or dismissive during line training or sim sessions. The feedback shared suggests a lack of basic cockpit civility at times, which can make an already stressful period feel unnecessarily hostile.
This isn't a blanket statement about all instructors at HKE—some are genuinely supportive—but it’s an issue worth being aware of. If you're currently in a stable and respectful training culture elsewhere, think carefully before making the jump.
