Although the offer mentioned positioning time, don't believe it until you see it in your contract. Of course when you see first the contract it will probably be on day one when you're committed. Then you're rooted! You will be working what is allowed by the FTLs
And here is the SECOND letter this month I have received from Doris.....in case any one doubts it. Note it is strictly for the freighter division with NA bases (LAX & JFK). Mention of HKG report also. Looks like it's a 180 from the original ad back in Mar.
We write to acknowledge receipt of your application letter in response to
our March 2006 advertisement for Flight Crew positions B747-400.
We thank you for your interest in our company and the
positions advertised. However, and given the number of
applications received for positions with a Hong Kong rather
than a North American point of report we are currently
re-considering the need for any positions reporting for duty
at Los Angeles or New York.
We will, however, keep your application on record and let you
know in the event we decide to commence operations reporting
to Los Angeles or New York and in the event a decision is
made at that time to consider your particular application
further.
Thank you again for your interest
Yours faithfully,
Doris Au
Manager Crew Resources
