My shoes are packed and polished.
Any info on the rosta regarding nights away/home? Looking at the routes and schedule on the company website it looks like nights at home night be frequent?

Not much I'm afraid. If you are topping up a legacy carrier pension or are domiciled in a low cost of living country it's fine but if you have a UK or Australian mortgage that has to be serviced entirely from Air Hong Kong salary then things are going to be tight.
But the 8 on / 6 off roster does provide for a great lifestyle.

Is a type rating required for direct LHS or will 340 command time be acceptable?
Are the 8 days on all out of base or do you sometimes come back through base during your "on" pattern.

Zap, Even if you are type rated on B744 or A300 you will still have to do a full HKCAD conversion course (and be bonded US$90k over 3 years) due the Draconian non recognition of other ICAO state type ratings.
8 days on are mainly out of base but some overnights at your home base on your own dime.

Single no Kids.
US$2000 a month rent. (700- maybe 900SQFT) place. Depending on where you want to live.
You'll probably look at another US$ 2000 maybe US$2500 on schooling for 2 kids depending on the age and where you send them!!!
Gone are the days when companies provided a Expat living.
