CX FO based in KUL
Just saw the CX advert in Malaysian papers for direct entry FO(freighter fleet) based in KUL.For year one the salary approx HKG 340,000.And after year three successful candidate may be transfered to HKG as an expat year four HKG based crew(salary quoted HKG 810,780).I am flying in this part of the world and am really interested in this advert.Anyone up there at the fragrant harbour willing to give his thoughts on this will be of great help.My present salary including allowance(meal plus productivity allowance) is approx of what CX is offering for a year one FO based in KUL.But what really attract me is the chance to be based in HKG after the third year.Some questions here:
1.Is this part of the ASL or is it CX?
2.What sort of duty hour per month on the freighter?
3.I mention "chance"(CX says suitable)...what are the chances of going HKG based?What is the rate of intake or conversion percentage from freighter to pax fleet crew?What do they mean by suitable?
4.The HKG810,000 for year four HKG based FO,does that include housing rental?
5.I know there are also similar schemes in LAX and SYD,are there any other foreign based FO in any other part of the world?
5.Working conditions?
Any input,good or bad will be of great help.
THANKS
