It's unbelievable the hatred some guys have for the place when I know guys there very very happy, all could be in KAL or the sandpit or anywhere else..but choose to be in the place for reasonably good coin and enjoying HK...compared to the land of the camel it ain't bad. Friends a skipper there earning 140,000 hkd for 35 hrs flying...the guys on a hammock for half the month.
As far as wide body jobs go, not too many out there for rated skippers...and a lot are waiting for HKA to sort themselves as its a pretty fine job to us here in the pit.
Seems a lot of peed off ex employees here venting..funny stuff. CX and KA don't take take dec so don't compare it to that.. Most guys i know there are rated...if wed been bush flyers and young SOs with the only shot on heavy metal to join as an SO or FO maybe CX or KA an option but to us as a DEC HKA is a pretty damn nice deal if they get it together.
