hi
i have an interview with HKA next 10 days so please tell me the truth, they said will give 8500 usd is this ok for housing and to save some money and how much it cost to rent flat close to the airport
That salary is for a senior first officer. You will be on a much lower salary than that.
  • Salary for <1500 hours and <500 Jet you will get 27,000 per month
  • Experience on 737 but < 1500 hours jet you will get 40000 a month
  • >3000 hours Jet, you will get 65000 a month

Rents near the airport start at 25,000 Hong Kong Dollars a Month or $3225usd. That is for a small 1000sq ft (100sq meter) apartment in Discovery Bay. The nice expat life in the city is not possible on that salary. See for yourself.
