Just read this thread out of curiosity since I've left and wondering what was going on in the company..But if I recall correctly this was actually requested by HKG ATC somewhere in 2006..
Sorry I had nothing better today then browse these threads..as it is raining outside

GMF X email to all pilots..All transmissions with Hong Kong ATC, crews should use the "Hong Kong Shuttle" on the initial contact only and then any subsequent contact should use the prefix of "shuttle"
but operating into different FIR's is a different story.
SIMON WU. How much longer are you going to keep this guy? He is the most unprofessional leader most of us have ever met and his lack of professionalism will eventually be the demise of the company. His personality to get the job done at any cost despite the rules and regs is a safety risk. Is it true he has more severe foqa alerts than any other pilot? More over speeds, long landings, flap over speeds, unstable approaches, taxi over speed nearing 45 kts and he is trying to teach veteran pilots how to fly "his way"? If you want the morale and standard to improve and for pilots to stay longer than 12 months he needs to go. As soon as possible. When he is gone I will withdraw my Emirates application. If he stays we will all move on.

The news at HKE
The infamous grey haired godfather is gone but X remains. One bad apple gone but one still remains.
You must all be so relieved that that arrogant TRE has gone. You know theone that used to shout, scream and insult during the simulator pc, and the aircraft for that matter. My favourite moments were when he would be proven totally wrong in black and white Boeing reference and that would just make him scream and shout even more. No apology, no CRM, no admission that well we all make mistakes, just arrogance dating back to his early Varig e days. I have met one of his ex collegues in Anchorage a while back he also could not stand the guy back when they worked in Varig. His so called friends at Brasillian Coast Tung Chung put up with him because they have no other choice.
His personal flying standard was the worst in company and he has the record for the most go arounds due to unstable pilot induced error. The second record he holds is most unstable approaches that were continued (even after the co-pilot called unstable) Well done you legend. Hope you’re enjoying the CAD because we all know they are not enjoying you.

Are they still recruiting Fo's on the NG
I hear they are and probably will be hiring forever because they are not a career airline where you will want to spend your entire working life with.
They do not have the foresight to even try and make it a happy place to work.
The Chief Pilot is an egotistical maniac who must control everything and everyone including each and every individual annual leave holiday application to the PIC's decision of what to do via ACARS message. (He will tell FOCC what to tell the captain via cell phone while sitting at the stars bar with WU WU!!!!)
Any safety investigations are dealt with by him instead of letting the safety department independently and confidentially handle it. This is a conflict of interest as many of the safety issues are related to his macho flying techniques and training which encourages selectively ignoring the manuals and recommendations whenever the pilot wishes. The civil aviation department should be asking why he is interfering with any internal safety investigations at all!
The company was understaffed in all departments so nothing will ever improve.This includes HR department which could and should improve conditions and culture but do not.
So yes they I am sure they are hiring and will always be hiring. They especially love hiring co-pilots who have paid to go through a training course which includes PAYING for their job at the end of the training. If you are an experienced co-pilot with real experience and have worked hard to get where you are do not bother applying.
LIONAIR pilots that PAID to fly and are proven BOND BREAKERS are more than welcome. HKE loves pilots who have a proven history of not completing the bond or contract agreement. The sad fact of the matter is these are the only pilots in the world that are willing to apply and work at HKE. What does that say about the company and the management?

I have no problem with your post intelli.. But people warned for these kind of things as far back as 2005 as the old CP and friends did the same but couldn't get their hands on the FOQA/QAR data. Guess the safety officer/ HKEPA are missing spines...rumor has it they have been used to strengthen the wingspar of a certain acft 
Anyway to stay on topic..People must have warned you when you joined..Now lets hear why YOU joined HKE and when you figured it was not worth it.

Of course I wanted to hear your story as well...How else would you come across sincere..How many people tell you not to join CX on this forum maybe they have a point nowadays...
But those old E170's where sure as hell shinny jets...Nowadays there are better looking DC8's around than those filthy 738's they operate

As always you are talking in riddles. Are you talking about him breaking the company rulebook by seducing young impressionable flight attendants half his age as a senior manager, or something more sinister?
This is a rumour network. Tell us the newest rumour
