In the Pacific ey?

Nice Beaches, good weather, little pollution, nice natives and reasonably cheap cost of living......

Versus Hong Kong, Pollution Pollution and oh did I say Pollution?

Air Pathetic

Heard there were 4 young ~1000hr 737 contract FOs recently terminated from FJ due to poor performance during line training...coincidence?

What nitpicker failed to mention was the pollution, which is really polluted, other than that, what he said

None of the airlines based in HKG operate 737s. There might be a corporate one (or two) floating around but not sure if they are based in HKG.

ummmmmm wrong......quite a lot of Hong Kong Airlines/Express 737-800's based in HK and using B- registrations.....in fact an x CX mate has a command on one too.....he's based in HK and lives in Tung Chung...

( maybe the Airline isn't "based" in HK but the Aircraft and crew sure are )

You obviously haven't spoken to your mate for a while.

You telling me that since I've been away for 12 days all B registered 738's I saw in HK have gone??

Hong Kong Airlines - ch-aviation.ch

Me thinks you've been away for longer (mentally).

Mmmmmm

Hong Kong Airlines OWN website says they operate 6 Boeing 737-800's

Hong Kong Airlines Fleet

Whilst I admit to not having seen one recently or spoken to my friend it appears you "may" be wrong. Unless their own website is out of date??

Either way I'm looking at HKIA now and keeping an Eye out.

That may be the case,

However, their own website also says,

"Due to rapid expansion, we are looking for high caliber candidates to join our professional team."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAOOHOHOHOHOHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


I rest my case

HK produces very little polution, just inherits a lot from Shenzen and other parts of China. I'm glad I moved back to Oz.
