Back from HNA - B787
Guys, just got back from HNA assessment.
What I found out so far:
- screening = 2 phases (medical and atp test + sim assessment)
each phase last about a week. They are very SLOW on the hole process.
- there is no 2 weeks on/off period.
- 4 weeks on/off is ONLY for B777 or B787 rated (not 767 as I am)
- contracts are 100% resident (25k usd); 8 days off (23k usd)or 11 days off (21k usd).
* salary is approximate and considering ALL benefits such as housing, health insurance, etc)
- no base overseas at all. (you can commute though, but its not a base!)
- only base for the 787 is PEK so far.
- no foreigners at 787 so far! That is weird. But: there are at least 2 on ground training.
- was said by the HR lady that ground training takes about 45 days and flight training from 3 to 6 months.
- domestic flights are usually 30% but can get up to 70% on high season.
- They looked nice at the company though; warm reception.
I would like to get more information from someone that has already signed the contract or is at the ground/flight training or even better solo flying already.
Cheers.
