Don't expect to fly more than 60-70 max before next year. HKE has A320 Neo grounded due to PW Engine problems.
Might go back to 900h/year from next year though.

Anyone got invited for interview and assessment recently? Guess that they're slowing down recruitment.
How long did it take you from completing application to getting email for interview?
Thank you for your input.

FO1= with less than 1500h Jet Time, 80h 80525 HKD and 50h 47815 HKD. No flight pay during training. Training 4-6 months before check to line, pay around 35k.

Depends how many hours you fly
Basic salary will be about $80K/month for no flying. If you fly 900 hours/year, it works out to be around $145K/month. I think they do about 50-60 hrs/month.. around $110K ....
Most of the captains leave their families back home (Philippines, Malaysia, etc...) and just fly back on their off days. It's not a career airline.

He's being sarcastic. For the record I'd do my homework before working on a package like this. Hong Kong is a very very expensive place to live, especially if you have a family here. I don't work for Hong Kong Express but I do work in Hong Kong. As a westerner here, the cost of living isn't for the faint hearted.
