The HKE pay scale is relatively easy to access. Simply go to your local grocery store and you will find it in the peanut section right next to the CX pay scale on the bottom shelf.
Last rumour I heard was that they’ll pay you in food stamps. Hopefully you have a nice cardboard box to live in.

I suggest you research living costs in hong kong. rent or even purchase prices of property in tung chung and then make your best decision
also look at cost per child at LIS, DBIS and DBC....see how much is left over each month
best of luck with your decision

Why would anyone in their right mind be looking at HKE when CX is hiring.

Not forgetting the PLANdemic has made the HKE “pilots under training” income-less for coming close to 2years. Even a 7-11 cashier can be considered to be paid higher than this poor group of people!

On top you get an accommodation allowance that will pay half of your rent.

It's a job for someone who wants a step-up from a SEA LCC and does not realise that the salary would not let you survive with a family in HK unless you all become cup noodle crew.

I think it's more like 50+22 for most DEC. 57+22 is upper level. 27+22 for any competitive FO but 20+14 would be a junior FO. It's less pay than a SO on POS18. No guaranteed flight pay and what I believe is no education allowance.

57 000 was the salary I could expect as a senior Captain if I joined them and 20 000 only pays half of the rent of a flat in HKG
I must admit that 18 000 sounds like a joke but I believe that it’s the entry salary as an FO with limited experience.
It makes CX contract look good doesn’t it?
I am sure they are doing very well at recruiting, just flew with one of their pilot on unpaid leave, he won’t be going back as many of his colleagues.
And perhaps if you know what the ‘real’ figures are, you could share them instead of taking such a supercilious stance.

LapSap, I did above and I would still take a supercilious stance with those figures. I really cannot understand how they call that competitive. Anyone know what GBA is paying?
