Hi All, could someone please share the latest assessment process at HK Express???

I am going in October myself and so far on the email sent to me it states, Group Excercise, Individual Interivew and SIM.

So, could someone either PM me, or who has recently been to their assessment reply here and inform of the details, please and thank you

Like, is there Compass Testing on day 1?? If so, which one is it?

Thank you to all... Going as FO for A320 rated applicant

Could anyone advice what the difference is, thought I saw housing included on the CAE Parc website, could anyone confirm that.

CAE Parc is only for Hong Kong Airlines, and for Hong Kong Express is only through their website currently.
But you can apply for Hong Kong Airlines also via their own website and I would recommend that way first.

Hi guys,
I'm going to attend interview screening in September.
Simrise, written, English test, interview with management etc...
Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.

I saw HK Express through Sigma Aviation Services as well, an agency I think, just wanted to get the positives and negatives from both options.

Can you elaborate why going through the Hong Kong Airlines website is better than through agencies, a bit fresh regarding agencies.

Thanks

I would just go directly to the source, agencies might hold fees and there's all sorts of rumours both good and bad online from various agencies. Why deal with a middle man when you can apply directly with the airlines..
I personally applied to both HKA and HKE and am going for both assessments September / October...

Don't know much about the assessments except what they've said to me on emails what to expect, so good luck to all and blue skies... Myself I'm an Challenger 605 Captain and with A320 previous experience with current validation, just wanting to change from business jet flying of 8 years back to commercial and Asia is the place to be, at least for myself... But in Europe and elsewhere there are also good opportunities, each to their own..

Again, if anyone has anything to share about the current assessment at HKE, please share with us all, thank you..

For Captains, NTR FOs and very low hour TR FOs Hongkong Express is a good job. If you are an experienced A320 FO then HKE is a waste of your time. They put no emphasis on experience in that company, counts for nothing. Career development for FOs is limited to say the least. Captains have more chance to be trainers than FOs got a chance to upgrade.
Much better options in Hongkong, include direct entry FO at both CX and KA, both actively recruiting. And Hongkong Airlines actively recruiting and offering commuting and fast upgrades.

Just saying ..,,,

[Ecam321]

When you join a rapidly expanding LCC you have expectations that there will be opportunities for career development as an FO.

The opposite is true, in fact you would probably be a wide body captain at any of the Middle East 3 before being a A320 captain in HKE, if you joined now. 90 FOs at the moment max 5 upgrades per year, do the math ! Yet they are going to receive 24 aircraft in the next two years. Like I said before if your a low houred Captain you have a great opportunity to become a trainer or management. But as an experienced FO you are left to rot.

Just saying..

Is there anyone going for an interview next month?

[jetjockey696]

I see HKE doing a roadshow in GAtwick CAE London Gatwick Training Centre. OCT 27-29th for Captain ONLY.

[Ecam321]

I believe Mr Jetjockey that it's HKA in Gatwick, not HKE.
HKA are more proactive in doing what it takes to get pilots like roadshows, commuting and upgrades.
HKE just rely on their source of migrating pilots from Brazil, they don't need to try.

Just saying

[autopilot3]

I think they are actually doing it.

[Ecam321]

I'm impressed, roadshows for Captains only !! If they can go to all that effort, why not just implement a more productive upgrade program for there own FOs ? Oh and throw in a bit of commuting as well and they might actually recruit captains who have more than the bare minimum requirements.

Just saying...

Hello! I have an interview with HKE next month and would very much appreciate any info you have on the process. Specially on the Sim and any technical test/questions you had.

Thanks in advance.

[rusbuspilot]

Any info about selection process at HKE?

It's for FO's too.

[ryotan16]

latestpilotjobs.com will do it.
Subscribe and study hard on it.
All info needed for this eval is there.

Just been told from one of the agencies. Apparently if one is not current on the A320 its ones own responsibility to get current at ones own costs. Anybody got any experience with that ?
