There is some useful info in this thread - there are also a lot of insults and ranting from some of the many pilots who have been sacked or lied to! Try pages 43 and 45 for a start. The info is a bit old but mostly still true.
For an idea of the Chinese management style see;
Punishment for not reciting "apothegm"
I know 2 pilots who recently joined HKA and they are really regretting their decision. They were complaining that
everything is badly organised, mostly due to cost cutting. No information, no help with HKCAD exams, no time for finding accommodation after their 2 weeks in a cheap hotel finishes (they were surprised how expensive rent is in HK), sim sessions in PEK cancelled, hotel in PEK not booked, no uniform, pay for your own medical etc etc. For example, HKA does not pay employees for ANY phone calls. So if you have a problem outside HK and need help, whether on line or training, the phone calls are at your expense. No taxi or meal expenses either.
The other problem they've found is that most pay is duty pay. So no flying = very low basic pay. Until HKA has a stable fleet, stable routes and stable pilot numbers the flying hours will, by necessity, be very low.
