Time to command running at about 3 years at the moment has been as low as a year in the past.
Nice people to fly and work with.
Old style management, not enlightened generally bottom line driven.
Flt Ops a little autocratic in it's approach.
Base salary 55k HK$ per month + housing + loss of licence + medical + education + travel fund for HK based crews.
No one knows what the freighter will pay.

Can't recall the stated requirements.
I believe they are published at dragonair.com under job opportuities.
I'd apply anyway, we have a lot of people off light turbo props and the like in the rhs of the 330 and 320.
They settle in well after the initial shock <grin>.

Thanks alot Mr Jaded. I've also got a Dragonair file at present, although when I spoke to Ann Law last week she tells me the minimum is still 500 hrs jet, with Airbus time preferred. I was surprised that there were still guys sitting around like that!
Good to have an idea of the money and stuff though - its pretty hard to find out much about Dragonair re employment condx etc.
I'm curious about these ex turbo prop RHS's. I am a new FO on B 737 300's with 4000 hrs 2000+ turbine, 2 ICAO ATPLs, degree etc etc and have been applying for 7 years to Dragon - and nothing! Whats the magic word one needs to say at Dragon???
Would appreciate any advice - buy you a couple in WAN CHAI if it works!! (Yup spent tiem in HK and still wanna go - am I insane?)

Hi Tube
You just have to keep plugging away.
They are a bit swamped these days.
Keep writing, you hear stories of it taking 3 years for some guys and weeks for others.
Good luck.
Despite all the black humour around they are fun bunch of guys to fly with.

If what I read about the demise of Transaer (Ireland)is true, then there will be a supply of A320 rated guys knocking on Ann Laws desk! This is typical of the industry, just as it looks like salarys will have to rise to attract "talent & experience" down goes a repitable carrier.And the Emirates command situation does not help!

Hey just when I waa starting to feel good about all this - this Irish A320 co. goes bust! Hope they all get something where they need to be. I love HK but know some don't. Can't imagine dragging an unwilling partner etc down here would be fun!
Just in case the rest of us still have a chance does anyone know what to expect from a Dragonair interview?
Is there any material a'la the CX "how to pass" book around? Or is just the usual 'handling the big jets' book quiz + medical & sim etc.
Any info would be great!
