If you have been accepted by Dragonair, first of all..Congratulations!

You have obviously been to Hong Kong and decided that you can live here. HK is a good place to be based, 13 hrs to Europe...9 hrs to Aus. It is conveniently central.

About KA. First of all, there seems to be some pilot's who spend a disproportionate amount of their time seeing lots of negative issues regarding Dragonair....I suspect a little bit of tunnel vision here.
The speculation surrounding our Airline is mostly fuelled by rumours..This is a case of "What If" in reality we can only deal with "What Is" and "What Is" is that we are all flying new Airbus aircraft, under good conditions with job security.

This is a great job! Good conditions, great airplanes, good captains to fly with. Everyone, is supportive. If you have any questions, the captains are only too happy to help solve it.

As far as the training goes, it is sufficient. You get 14 sim sessions, 3 sessions for your first check, aircraft base training, line training and the training captains I had were very good.

Dragonair pay for all of your training and pay you to do it. There are no bonds. This is rare these days.

So, checkthrust, be objective in your decision to join us. You will love it!!
