With 70 hours per month at HKA you'll make 120K HKD (A330 LHS).
On 80Hrs a month at HKA you'd be on something north of 127K HKD
So you only get 7000 for 10 hrs O/T ?

I guess the pay has gone up quite a bit since I looked at the T&Cs back in December, I reckoned about 120 K for 90 Hrs, then again ask the guys that were there during the GFC, the pay can go down just as quickly

Still I guess when you consider a CX/KA skipper is on 120K basic 0-75hrs/month ( not buying a house ) plus 13th month plus 15% gratuity plus profit share plus medical plus schooling plus staff travel plus travel fund it just goes to show that HKA are still bringing up the rear in HKG by a fair margin, even a corporate G5 driver earns more than a HKA 330 captain.

Guess that's the price to live in a great city
Tell me your not talking about the most expensive and one of the most polluted, crowded cities in the world, Hong Kong ?
