Applied for the HK visa and got a very polite e-mail before my interview date that the management has decided to dump my application as "passport" has visa issues when it comes to HK (takes too much time to get a visit visa) which is true but I mentioned the issue clearly in my e-mails to them. They just apologized and that was it.

FO PAY
Does anyone have any info for ACTUAL first year and second year estimated salary? I have been given the "package" but all it states is the average salary at each position. Capt/Fo/TrainingFO etc etc. I am not sure if this is broken English for starting salary.........Or if they are being sneaky with the numbers. Either way the "average FO" is stated to be on a total package of HKD$79000 monthly. Confirm or deny please. Or PM if you prefer.

JIm, you need a correct perspective on the 'salary' CX quotes you will earn. In HK, a decent apartment will be $25000 hkd /mo, with electricity and rates (tax) on top. You then must deduct salary tax from your earning, then you can enjoy paying $10 usd for a beer. $30 usd for a dinner. Add in the cost of transportation, the cost of staff travel to get home to see your relatives, and all the other costs of life and you basically are living like a junior FO at an Australian regional (or arguably worse off still). CX try to pretend that they offer an 'amazing' package. In fact, it's crap. End of.

This A. O. is now in europe, in a spanish airline with Airbus and 717... This is what a friend of mine told me. I don't know how is possible that airlines are not doing a background check... Apparently he is also a trainer

A bit harsh. To some people the current situation in Hong Kong is a "storm in a teacup" compared to their own situations. Even if the deal is lousy compared to the good old days a chance to get a decent rating could be a life/career changing event. I can recall thinking how "stupid" people were by accepting B scale back in the early 1990's, now those conditions are only dreamt about.
