Hongkong Foey

You have a problem with that ie Any one leaving..??

Your post have always been -ve all the time with HKA...yeh? Definately have a bad time with HKA while getting some experience from them to move on.

Well for all those pilots that do not have an opportunity for jet flying experience, whatever terms or conditions or not... don't critisize!

Look around at other aviation companies in Europe, US, Auatralia...??

Good Luck!

How strict are they on the total time requirements? Whats the chances of a low houred A320 rated bod with less than 500 hours on type to get an interview?

Where's The Bedwetter?

As well as the complete mismanagement of the airline, what has happened to everybody's favourite CAD retard? A new gweilo has been appointed to look after HKA and rumours are running around that the Bedwetter is being investigated for corruption?

Any of the remaining Singawhores like to comment? The deposed ex COO Ronal might have some good information on that topic!

B738 Captain

I have read the thread and I know that many of you advise against joining HKA but......

I am 61, have not flown for 2 and a half years and no-one will offer me a job because of either my age or lack of recency. HKA have sent me an application pack - hopefully they read the CV I sent them and noted my age and recency! - and this may be my only offer of employment.

Is there anyone at HKA who could give me the latest package for an experienced B737NG captain?

I don't expect HKA to provide me with a ticket for an interview but will they provide me with HOTAC for the interview?

Shaman, you sound like the ideal candidate for HKA.

Good Luck.

Sick Dick Stew is in his last week.
Wonder what happen to the court case he had with CP B738 which this 'sick man' went round sending crew emails asking them to go for the case! Very sad.

Nothing happen I guess.

Flying Mechanic,

Thanks for the good news!

Takamasa,

I responded to their advertisement on the 13th of January and received a reply on the 7th of February - about three weeks.

Actualy no, they are looking for people with no pride or self-respect, willing to prostitute themselves for substandard wages and conditions, who will recite the company mantra on demand.

If you fit the bill, good luck to you. Whore.
