Hi nmcpilot

I am only asking the obvious questions based on what I have read and everyone has differing personal circumstances.

Housing allowance is removed when I know Hong Kong is expensive.

Training in Australia for potentially another license. I already have a commercial license. Since I originally applied, now fly for a small AOC at the bottom but doing public transport and have a lot more hours. Therefore I would like to understand why they dont allow you to convert directly to a Hong Kong license when meeting the ICAO / Hong Kong CAA requirements for a straight conversation and then type rating.

I would rather have a full type rating and not P2X as it could potentially have the inability to move easily in the future.

Lastly, if you were going to stay as a second officer for years. This clearly affects unfreezing an ATPL, salary and how long will it take to move to FO,SFO, command or wanting to move into training roles within an operator.
