Sorry if this as been already posted, but what about:
1. Sick days;
2. School Allowance;
3. Travel benefits;
4. Loss of License;
5. Provident fund;
6. Days off;
7. Per diems.
  1. I forget the actual days allowed but you will penalized for it. You do not get full pay. Also if you have serious illness for 90 days your contract will be terminated. The policy promotes people to work sick otherwise you get penalized.
  2. NIL and schools are very expensive. Even pre-school is very expensive.
  3. Four free of charge tickets TOTAL on the HKA net work plus a few i.d 90. No free tickets to home country for pilot or family which is standard practice in this industry. Pay yourself.
  4. What is that... No
  5. $1500 HKD (193 usd) per month which is Govt minimum plus a small company contribution (about 2000-3000) you are not entitled to receive the full company contribution unless you complete 10 years service with the company. REPEAT... 10years. The company can (and will) fire you after 9 years and 11 months so they do not have to pay you out.
  6. Eight per month as per contract. If you are not flying you will be on standby every other day. You will never receive more than 3 days off in a row as per company rostering policy. Even if you do only 1 return sector to Moscow you will get 8 DDO (day off) and the rest are standby or reserve days which you are not paid for.
7.
  • Basic 30000
  • Type 20000
  • MBA (P) 15000
  • 0-25 HRS = HKD 350.00
  • 26-50 HRS = HKD 500.00
  • 51-75 HRS = HKD 700.00
  • >76 HRS = HKD 1000.00
  • You are not paid hourly pay in the sim, when a safety pilot, or when the engines are not running. Hourly pay starts when the aircraft moves under its own power to when it shuts down. Any flight preparation, time travelling to the hotel, delays sitting in the aircraft.... you do for free.
  • When you go on annual leave you will receive basic pay for that 28 day period. (Note all other Hong Kong/World airlines provide 6-10 weeks paid annual leave at FULL pay.
  • If you take 2 weeks of annual leave you have used 14 days of your 28. Days off are not included (like all other companies)
  • You do not get paid for working on a public holiday, and you get no extra pay OR a extra day off (which is standard airline practice) Even a street sweeper or a garbage collector in Hong Kong gets this entitlement (not HKA)
The way you describe this outfit, those benefits are not there or are quite insignificant.
congratulations. Someone has finally got the message.
