Just to update you on the rostering of AHK. You're absolutely correct that 95% of the flights are on grave yard shifts but the 8 or 10 days roster is not everyday flying. You will get layovers on the weekend and some reserve duties in HKG in between. Its very tough if you start on a Monday because thats 4 days straight up and down (arrive in the morning and leave the same day that evening) before you get a layover on whichever port you end up on a Friday morning. Its a good stepping stone for some people who are willing to move on to bigger major airlines if you dont have widebody experience or jet time. Its definitely the best commuting job for those people who does'nt like to relocate their families to someplace else, which gives a good reason to keep them where they are because theres no housing and education allowances provided by the company. Hope Maverickav8tor gets a good overview of AHK if he's interested to join.
