FAA commercial to HK ATP
I was hoping someone could give me some insight on the process of acquiring a HK ATP. Currently I have a FAA commercial license and have a class date in Adelaide. The employment letter that has been mailed to me states that employment is offered on the condition that I agree, "should I be issued a Hong Kong Commercial Pilots License, to OBTAIN a HK ATP license once elegible. I am curious if this is part of a course that I will undertake, or if I will be required to acquire this on my own dollar? Would it be easier to take an ATP practical test here in the states prior to my course date and then convert it directly (it would run me about $1500 US), or is it something that will be provided by CX? I am also wondering about the medical certificate - and whether I should renew my first class medical here in the states, or if I will undergo another medical examination prior to the start of training? I would appreciate anyone who might have some specific examples or experience to the above.
