There will be a water salute to the new A330 on TWY N on 5/6.

Hai Hai Hai

PLEASE ALL SING THE HKA amended MANTRA:

"Happy work for nothing pay, pleasing boss in rainbow suit, many rejected unhappy landings not, taxi straight but no correct, never loose sight of grate leader, glorious taxyier of all orient y3t. Yum Sing!"

Had to beat the original benchmark mantra, but hey it made more sense than the first one!

Wow.

As of the oldest haters of the Singaswine, I am truly impressed that such a beast exists. I almost want to say congratulations... almost.

I can confirm that the Moscow route is happening...provided some internal matters are sorted out in time.

Couldn't give a flying fvck if they got a brand new fleet of JSF 35's. I wouldn't go near them. I still have my personal pride and self respect intact. Those of you who like to get down on your knees and blow little "dicky woo" well, I hope your brand new shiny jet helps you rationalise that deap seated knowing that you are Hainan's bitch.

The 20th time revised date for 330 arrive was yesterday. Anybody seen it?

Why can normal pilot tell you HKA can not deliver promises on time, but management always get it so wrong?

In my country managers are held accountable for making false promise and constant getting it wrong.

I would not trust this guys to manage my curry shop, definitely not airline.

Management are arrogant unprofessional amateur corrupt incompetent idiot. If you joined A330 please do not start complain. We have warned you so much. Soon the promises made to you will change.

Thumbs up

Cp Diperkosa, they couldn't even do Singapore noodles! Thank goodness you don't put them near your curry shop.

Agnes, that's ironic. In my experience, 'Water Salutes' usually celebrate a last flight!

No matter it was the first or the last, it did happen on TWY N this morning. Some photos already posted in another forum. You can check them out.

Guess you have a point there, they have increased there number of airgraft by 50% from 2 to 3, watch out CX/KA, at this rate they will have 10 A/C by 2030

Moscow ops by end of july? my prediction............ NOT. Another example of these unprofessional fools lying and bull****ting to the poor public who do not know any better.

We all told you 6 months ago they could not do it. They have 2 weeks until the end of June

I promise you they will have no Moscow flights by the end of June. Let see if their promise is another on the list of many lies and failures.

Anyone want to place a bet?

The chance to be there?
The average age of the two gweilo F/Os in the picture must be 55.
The final picture, with the metal placard, shows no valid Airworthiness Certificate. How long will that take? Is a taxyway reconnaissence test involved?
I'm surprised there was no token Chinese pilot in the photograph, or are they trying to promote an experienced Expat flavour to their product?

Oh yes yes, congratulations to the HKA management you are so wonderful great leaders.... Keep smoking your HKA management pole and you'll be as "High as a kite76"? There is absoulutely nothing to congratulate these singaswine management about!
I think your engrish mean't to say "don't be envious"...yeah I momentarily thought I like to fly the A330 but then I read the name on the side of the aircraft and I suddenly felt ill
Enjoy your new jet and dim sum enroute to Moscow, just mind Everest on the way.

“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change”.
HKA is not the strongest and not adapt to change. Maybe they can not survive?

Did they adapt and change their agressive attitude or adapt contract to try and keep the hundreds of pilot that leave over these years?

Management are beginners with arrogant attitude. They do not listen to good advice. HKA is managed by a group of bosses and they need leaders.

A boss creates fear, a leader confidence. A boss fixes blame, a leader corrects mistakes. A boss knows all, a leader asks questions. A boss makes work drudgery, a leader makes it interesting.
