This year 2010 will be interesting. Captain 4 about to quit and 2 first officers in next month. This company Hong Kong Airlines should try to better this package. We can go to Shenzhen now and set up for future in 5 short years. Pay 14700 each month and I can go home to family for one month in 3.

Korea airlines advertising every day and month and Air China also with such better package for A330. And All airlines better package to fly Boeing. Train pilot for 8 airbus and then they stay and not leave to better place.... HAHA

So funny
Future Expansion Plan
As the company is confident in the future of aviation industry in Hong Kong, Hong Kong Airlines is expanding worldwide with the purchase of four A330-200 wide-body aircrafts that will provide a more comfortable journey for travelers starting next year. The expansion into Moscow and Istanbul will be the first of many international routes that the company is developing in the coming years. Hong Kong Airlines has kick-started with a recruitment drive for additional 400 flight attendants to service these new routes. Selected candidates will commence training in early 2010.

Nobody will employ these clowns with a bare bones A330 endorsement, so I think HKA can rest easy that they won't be getting the endorsement and leaving the next day.
Some airlines will employ DECs with 500 on type but most are 1000, although they could get an F/O position which is more than they are capable of anyway.
Keep on dreaming/bull5hitting HKA you really are a sad joke.

The expansion into Moscow and Istanbul
Gee, I wonder why nobody else thought of this Almost as brilliant as not being able to book tickets on-line, like it was 2 years ago.

you say Korean and Air China also bad to work for? But if you work for ****, better to make some money.

ok Wait 12 months then look at HKA A330 firsts pilots walk away. Korean is also bad? No problem at least earn some better money, have some stabilty. It is easy to be better than HKA.

For 737 jobs in Asia now earn 15000. Demand and supply. Look at pilots now start to leave.

You're not wrong there Dip, just don't think they will get 500 hrs in 12 months, from previous experience with this circus and its clowns, it was 6 months before you got to see the actual cockpit of an a/c, and that was with the semi-compitent gweilos of previous managment

Years of practice.

I am new to this roumor. It does not surprise me though. I have four expat and one Indonesian friend at AHK and they have been lied to and cheated from the beginning.

Really?

Anyone who works there and believes a single thing that pack of c*nts says deserve the fate they get.

There are ample warnings, backed up by facts, you reap what you sow.

Fooey

Was Madam wearing is nice vest that is mommy knitted for him? And did he have his puppy (TY) happily bouncing behind him licking his heels?

I didn't know Wanchai had any gay bars? (I'm not at all hinting at your agenda Fooey!) Perhaps he's trying to match the wage of an FO at CX/KA by doing some extra work on the side?

Some old classics painted in HKA colors..... is it a CAD approved operation? 737-300 on line and flying when originally promised in 2008? Then early Jan 2009? On line and flying now?

A-330 on line yet? AOC? CAD approved? Route approvals? Sim approvals, Manuals copied from Cathay yet? Manuals CAD approved? CAD any ****1ng thing approved? Moscow? Istanbul? Pilots staying for a long term career job? A330 in operation by 2007, 2008, 2009, Feb 2009? March 2009, Three A-330s by 2010 year end? Many European destinations and North America and twice daily to Australia Indian sub continent by December 2010? 10 A330 by 2011? Two 747-400 April 2009 November 2009? Early 2010? Two 777s from Singapore airlines 2009?

40 737-800 by 2011? Demised from 7 to 2 737-800's? 50 Airbuses? Bigger than Dragonair by 2011?

Promised pay increase to be annouonced shortly. (before Christmas 2009?) Wu can be trusted? He is not a lying sack of $hit? Anything he says true? Singas know how to run a business?

6 pilots apparently at HKE resigned already and the industry is only just turning. Watch the future exodus.

Scabs and scared pathetic cowards will work any time the company dictates, ring and ask to work on your DDOs for free, passenger on the company time and not get paid, do your CRM and get nothing, go on your 12 days annual holiday for ˝ price and too piss scared and weak to say a thing, Don’t get paid for being sick so go to work spread your disease and endanger 180 lives, At HKE Are you enjoying your un-paid Saporro 3 crew operation? You must as your doing it for free with no flight pay. Every Brazilian got a few mates lined up for a job that they are all willing to work there for the lowest paid job in Asia, Filipinos willing to sleep on your kitchen floor and fly for food, CAD sit back and watch it all happen; The justice system in Hong Kong will protect you? HKA will come to your rescue in an incident or will they blamb you and watch you burn? Enjoy your attempts of future employment with HKA on your resume.

Bueller?....... Bueller?

Your life has demised. You destroyed the industry. Welcome to your pathetic existance. You made you bed now sleep in it.

The end.



As HKA is Hainan and Yangtzi River is Hainan this is appropriate. Anyone interested in Joining HKA should read this entire thread from the start, then everything on Hainan and Yangtzi. If you still wish to join; go right on ahead. They need scared little scabs like you.

Guys,

I can't believe what pussies pilots have become. I might be an old fart but I can assure you 20 to 30 years ago all pilots would have walked off the job. And found creative ways to overcome the held in China against their will bit.

This is the age off pay to fly, pay for your own training and backstab your fellow pilots to get ahead etc etc. And look where it has got all of us. Worsening pay and conditions. We used to be looked upon by society as professional white collar workers such as doctors and lawyers. Today we are relegated to mere machine operators.

Get your bloody spine back and walk tall and start to cost the company millions by uplifting extra fuel, dropping the gear at 60 miles etc and do it as a united team. If they don't get the bloody hint. Park the aircraft at exotic locations and desert en masse.

So stop winging like a bunch of little girls and get to battle stations and teach these dishonest, cheating, lying parasites a lesson.

Woobla

Hey what happened to singa suckers "tsembeit and asian prat" posts?

did they finally realise what dicks they make of themselves on this forum?

Just like it to be known, we never tried to bring down the singa management. They are quite successfully doing that themselves. We were just merely putting the truth out. I am definitly not bitter or feeling like a loser for my time at HKA. Quite the opposite. I'm very glad to know that there are people out there worse than me, tsembeit and asian prat definitly come under that category.

So long suckers........

True tsimbeit....however, you cant begin to compare CX B scales with HKA payscales....things like "chalk and cheese" spring to mind Comparitively, B scales are still competative in the market....how long for is another thread entirely!

Info please

Ok gentleman, I was reading all your posts and I have aknowledge all your complains. I see that the morale is low, and that nobody believes in management anymore. I have something to ask you, and I would like to ask you to give some honest answers. I am an A330 Captain that might join you in the next couple of months, if, and only if, what your management said to me is true. Any chance for you to answer me what is your true average monthly salary? How much you pay for your house? What is the immediate action that the company could do to keep you from leaving? Thanks, and please no B.S.

I think every man that post here is not B.S. but true fact

Any chance for you to answer me what is your true average monthly salary?
The lowest in Hong Kong with average of last 12 month about 68,000 Hong Kong for captain.


How much you pay for your house?
see for yourself. Do your homework. Hong Kong rental property - Square Foot
Select Hong Kong Island, rent small 1200-1500 square feet and 3 bedroom and see the results. 35,000 a month minimum in an old noise area. This is why other companies in Hong Kong pay housing allowance to pilots. Not HKA. You get nothing. Your other option is to live in Tung Chung and rent for 16,000 each month. But Tung Chung is dead. So boring and you can not walk 5 minutes without seeing 5 co-workers knowing everything about your lifes. If you want to save money you can do what some F/O do and rental in a village but it is only chinese and there are dangerous gang. These F/O are forced to rent here because they can not have money to live any other place. Also Hong Kong is very expensive city. Most expensive in the world. You do not save money here on this wages with no house allowance.


Must read this. Hong Kong, World's Most Expensive City to Rent an Apartment
Hong Kong, World's Most Expensive City to Rent an Apartment

Hong Kong has the world's priciest apartment rents, with the lease for a three-bedroom unit costing more than 9,700 US dollars (75,175 HK dollars) on average a month.

They also say that here World's Most Expensive Rental Markets - Forbes.com
and here Most Expensive and Cheapest Rentals in the World | Moving it Globally
and here World's most expensive rental markets
and here ok I think you got the proof now. Hong Kong Real Estate Most Expensive Rental Market in the World
What is the immediate action that the company could do to keep you from leaving?
I do not know what your asking in this question? The company do not care if you stay or leave. They do nothing to fix problems, they love to make problem for you. The Office and HR They hate pilot and resent that you make more money than them and try to do everything to save money, always pilot and air hostess pay for it. These are 2 groups that did not get pay rise. They also had largest pay cut. Office worker and managers got payrise 6 month ago.


I hope you read all this imformations. The company promised pilot pay rise before Christmas, then they change mind and not inform anyone. Just silence and ignore us. They pretend nothing was said. Like holding juicy steak in near a starving puppy dog, and when dog about to eat they take steak away and kick the poor little puppy dog. That what they do to us. They first give us hope and then just go back on their word. This happen every day. Every month. Every year.

Do not believe a single word your told. They need you because they start A330 service, and they tell anything to get you. When you here, you realize the lies start. What is the a330 salary they told you?

You only get 14 day holiday they lie and tell you 28. Everything is a lie. When you have concern they ignore you. If you push… then you are sack.

All this is no B.S. Stay where you are. And tell your friends. Hong Kong Airlines can never be trusted. EVER. Never ever in a hundred years.
