First Officer Salary

Hi everyone,
Any idea what is the 2010 salary for F/O with AHK?
I got an email saying

"You are currently under consideration for selection to attend an
Initial Interview in Hong Kong.

However, to be eligible for selection, you must have first completed
and returned, to the email address below, the attached Application for
Employment - Aircrew form.

Thank you for your interest in AHK.

Rgds,
AHK Air Hong Kong Ltd"

Any information about the job and pilot life there, will appreciated.

Kind Regards

Received an email to fill in the application and return it with an updated CV. I've since sent in my application and CV that was 2 months ago. Nothing heard. I have TT5000 with 2000 jet over 50 tonnes. What are they looking for scratching my head for this one.

cessna95,

Thanks, I was applying for the FO position. Thought they will be more keen for pilots with SE Asian passport, maybe I just didn't qualify. Good luck to the rest. Cheers.

1000 hours Jet

Your correct about Air Hong Kong however for Hong Kong Express I believe its 1000 hours total with turbine experience preferred.

I'll let you know how I go,

wish me luck

bmarly26, are you not bonded at Rex?? How does that work?

And some advice........avoid HKE/HKA. Apart from management issues and standards issues, the pay is far too low to accept. Its lowering the value our skills significantly

Anymore updates or information regarding AHK anyone?

What is the atmosphere like? Have things changed since the original few posts on this thread?

Are there many ex-pat crews who commute to base following days off? If so, what are typical accommodation arrangements for their 8 days on? I read in an earlier post that they no longer use Headland, where do they place crews now?

Is the roster 8 on / 6 off fixed, or is there flexibility to arrange days off to allow for european commuting?

The company seem on the surface to be in reasonable shape, any plans for expansion?

I have family and friends in HKG, hence my interest.

I have 2000tt with 1800hrs on 737-300/500, does this put me in the right ball park for required experience?

Cheers

JAS

looks like selection has been a bit picky with regarding to TT. guys with jet time are not getting a shot at an interview. or maybe just the 1st interview.......

Has anyone been to the first round of this years scheduled recruitment interviews for the A300? I know there were interviews commencing on 26th April, I've got mine coming up in Aug (as F/O) so I'll let you know what it's like then.

For those that might have been already, what was the assessment process like?

It seems there will be a 2nd round after the initial interview, are they expecting us to pay for travel and accommodation for round 2 aswell?!....not cheap as I'm coming from the UK.

Cheers

Thumbs down

- Hiring Direct Entry Captains even though most FO's are ready for CMD
- Bias RT/PC

- Junior Captains becoming TC's over Senior Captains

- Direct Entry Captain becoming CTC in 6 months AND without even becoming a TC or STC first

- Former CTC, DCTC and MQSS all resign with in months from one another

- Crew moved out of Headland. So much for 60% CX owned

- CMD assesment for Asians different from the Caucasians

Shall I continue?
RedBaran:

Rumour out there, management is breaking up. Back stabbing, mud slinging among them. AD and RD at it again as they did in CX.!

CAD and DHL on them with AOC sitting on soft grounds. Smoking & sick note mismanagement issues. Seems the 'young asian bugger' took 'the Hitler' on.. What a shame. May be dragged to court soon.??

Training department in shambles with two chaps in-charge overnite.??

Terminated/sacked pilots from HKA/HKE seem to be taking over AHK.

“The Hitler” of AHK may have to step down.!

Happy and safe flight!
