What is the status of the 10 Boeing 747-8F on order? Are they still set for delivery over a 3 year period?

Will they be able to crew all those with upgrades or is there a chance they will have to hire DEFOs?

Crewing won't be a problem since Air China will operate them under their new freight co-op with Cathay.:E

Crewing is never an issue at all. There is a long Q all the time. :ok:

HIRING WILL BE CONDUCTED THRU HKA

An attractive package of reducing pay, poor rostering, scant medical insurance, pitiful housing allowance will be on offer.

ALSO it comes along with the opportunity to learn some fantastically inane, incomprehensible mantra dedicated to the dear leaders about happy smiling, making nonsense and waving flag mindlessly stuff, which will be part of your PC renewal.

You will also be granted the opportunity to read your contract revisions, without reply or right of revision. You will be grateful they even wrote to you. Some of you will not even be written too, but you will become aware of the contract variances with appreciable depreciation in terms, conditions and renumeration, for which your must be truly grateful. Please keep singing mantra when this happens - it makes for happier dear leaders.

After completing your comprehensive line training to and from Schenzen, you will be dispatched to Moscow for the commencement of the white goods express between Hong Kong and Moscow. Russian White goods will be displayed in Lan Kwai Fong in the evenings. You will be able to negotiate a rental agreement there, but it is the hope of the dear leaders, that you will not be paid sufficiently enough to do so (this is for your protection!). (Mantra please).

First Officers, will be offered command, as soon as they are deemed capable of bursting into mantra in the presence of any dear leaders, and they have shown that their boots are only showing from dear leaders posterior which has been noticed by other dear leaders.

Second Officers, this will also apply for your upgrade.

Day(s) Off, will be rostered retro-spectively, of which you will marvel at, admiring (and singing the mantra) about how well they manage complex issues like day(s) off and leave.

Many applications are expected, don't be disappointed, apply now.
