How to increase your pay at HKA
It is about 18 months since HKA pilots (and HKE pilots) had a pay rise and the total package is still worse than was before they made sudden change to the contract March 2009.
A big part of the pay is flying duty pay (but nothing for flying as Safety pilot, in simulator as a check or as support, positioning or supernumary) so try these, pay boosting tips;
- always take time taxiing
- use slower speeds
- make big diversions around "weather"
- never ask for shortcuts
- never ask for a more expeditious runway
- always use runway full length
- when delayed by flow control, ask to pushback early and hold position after engine start
I seen all these ideas used (most by local guys - they love the money) and they work good.
Anybody have more ideas?
Please, before you say I am unprofessional, remember this is HKA. Unprofessional is normal culture.
