The Dragonair Pilots Association has told us that the 747 crews will not be allowed to work unless HKFCSL is set up as a separate AOC. They will protect the current seniority list, flying patterns and contracts with everything available to them.
The company, nor should any prospective pilots, simply beleive that by employing pilots through a shelf company, with pilots still based in Hong Kong, that that would appease the DPA.
What guys looking to join should note is that the DPA never did oppose DE Capts. It was simply the mechanism of protecting current pilots and route structure that was never agreed to by the company.
From what I know, no meeting is scheduled to 'fix' the problem, and the DPA solictors are now running the show.
