HKA/HKEs latest line is that they are telling prospective new hires that they will have the opportunity to go on to 747 freighters. Yes, I know, we have heard all that hot air before, 777s, A330s happening, then not happening. But it is interesting that they made a presentation to the HKCAD recently that proposed
wet leasing 747s, so, even if t does happen, there won't be any opportunities for the pilots already there.
If the two airlines are losing more than HKD$20 mil per month now, wait till they start operating widebodies (if it ever does happen, personally I think that there is a better chance that the Dalai Lama will be guest of honour at the Beijing Olympics).
