Was operating AHK 326/7, while chatting to the px'ing AHK F/O who said that AHK/DHL were actually after MD11s but they considered them not suitable due to their safety record? Anyway the next on the list was the BCF if the price was right as it was not the ideal A/C due to it's larger size.

Back of the clock to SG is not for me. Enjoy.
May not be for you but....too bad.

They will fly for free if need be,,,,,made astraunouts from 'bush pilots' .

Lets see how many make it with CX training if it does actually happen but again depends on who these pilots are...

Happy landings!

Four aircraft continue to be leased? At there moment there is only one on lease to AHK.

Yep, thats the plan.

I havn't started about the CX A330 reconfig to KA and the B744F repaint to Air china, but that's another story.

Air Hongkong is over-staffed yet the hiring continues, 6 more to join next year! Another indication that they are going to be flying the BCF's!

Any news on new routes? LAX and somewhere in India have come up.

The janitor told me that he overheard a conversation which seemed to suggest all the hiring was for an entirely different reason and one which made more sense, (hint ,the same reason EK is hiring and recruiting)plenty of unhappy people in the sand and looking to leave as soon as things turn around.
(which btw has happened in the past at ahk(hiring to cover anticipated departures)
