Not an excuse for sarcasm on r/t, but morale in HK ATC is at the rock bottom right now.
Everyone, not just expats is unhappy with the situation the government has put us in.
Salary is back to before handover (most of us less than Cathay housing allowance
), some have to do radar but not get paid for it
. Allowances cut and continuous overtime (unpaid) is ongoing. Thousands of hours all together and seems they will have no chance to pay it back. Our leave roster put on the board today. In December only one, yes ONE, approach controller got leave, only ONE enroute controller got leave and 3 lucky people in the tower got leaves. Standby for mutiny!
Still traffic grows every month and AA wants more slots. Goverment has no forward thinking a few years back - froze recrutment, pay, training, force 10 expats to leave each year. Now they expect miracles.
Sorry to you guys if it means a lot more holding or delay at the gate but we are just as sick of it as you.
"Welcome Back"
