@bila Might sound like management because of the direct quotes.
No yearly increment, but basic pension type of payment(start of employment) and ex-gratia payment after 4 years in the company,figures quoted above by airbusinhk.

16/12 etc

Greetings..I think the 16/12 is a good idea, it is same amount of work as 8/6 and gives employees the chance to go home under their own steam. It also could assist the fact that the salary is nothing to get excited about, the lifestyle of say 16/12 would compensate and crew could pay for a hotel on HK layovers.
It is not so unusual; Korean and Asiana have given 12 days off a month for years and still have a productive ex-pat workforce. They also pay a lot but they need too!

Maximum working period under HKFTLs is 12 days. After that, rest has to be taken at the home base.

Thanks for that, I guess 12/9 would do it. There has to be something to make the remuneration acceptable and that might swing it.

Good luck with that. The CX guys and KA guys (when they did freight) seem to work 12/6 because it's legal and what crew control do. Don't suspect AHK will be any different.

....you guys just don't get it do you? You think 16/12 is acceptable....!!! Any of you who are married can add the cost of divorce to the low pay. No wife will tolerate that sort of roster for long (and spare us the jokes about 'my wife would pay AHK to keep me away that long...'). This is why the industry is self-destructing...because there are some of you out there who are willing to work under just about ANY conditions. Wake up.

What experience do you need for AHK? Would 456hrs in c210 and 25hrs in PA31 be ok? Iam sure it cant be that hard right? I will prefer the B747 but will accept the A300.With such vast flying experience Iam assuming I will be offered the B747.

Angel

Capt Vertigo is 100% spot about mad dog and cannot be better explained than this. He is more than a bully who abuses his power in management. He pretends to be a righteous person who gives justice, but then turns on your back with his joker and starts planning the line of attack. Classic example of bullism eg 49ers case.

Alot better to fly with HKA.
