Oasis HK
hello everyone.
would anybody have any information regarding oasis hong kong airlines, specifically regarding captain vacancies? are they actually upgrading first officers to captain, or are they only hiring direct entry captains?
i have heard through the grape vine that currently captain upgrades are only issued to people who are part of the "club" ie. friends with management pilots. i am a current 400 driver, and am considering applying for a fo position, but i am worried about the command upgrade issue. will this airline work on a strict seniority system?
thanks much for information that could be shared.

The $25k maximum is less then half what CX and Dragon offer, and is no-where near enough for anything suitable for a Westerner moving to HK
Yankeeone,
Base pay is HK$56K, housing HK$24K and per diem is $136/day.

What??? CX housing allowance is HK$26,000/month. Do your math again.

The 26K/month at CX is the 50% for the RFZ. Eg 26K(HKd)/month is correct for the first 24months of employment with the worlds most admired airline 
(Cathay). After 24months its 100% RFZ eg 52K/months.
Just to clarify. And I agree if you want something decent for more than a single bloke - the 26K/month is not enough for a westener in the nice areas of HK.

My apologies - the figures I quoted above (ie $24,000/$52,000/month) are for JFOs and above.
To clarify:
SOs with up to 2 years service get a base rate of HK$14,000/month or 50% of the RFZ if they take out a lease, ie HK$26,000/month.
SOs with more than 2 years service get a base rate of HK$18,000/month and the full RFZ (HK$52,000/month) with a lease.
Still, that's all a bit academic. I agree that HK$24,000/month isn't nearly enough to provide a reasonable standard of accommodation for a 'western' family moving to Hong Kong.
