HKE is pummelling Cathay Dragon again and again .
The sad truth is that KA's lack of vision and expansion a few years ago has cost it dearly. The Swire's are getting angsty about their babies lack of development.

Quite an interesting remark. They all want to come back. They discovered the greener pastures were all replaced by artificial ski slopes.

Seriously? Are you saying that the bonuses are not discretionary?

I believe there is two types of bonuses. One is fixed and one is company performance based.

Discouraging

Based on what I've been reading here about HKE it doesn't sound to be much of happy place. Has anything change? Ive got an interview in a few weeks. How are the salaries calculated based on experience?

I think Hong Kong is not a happy period.. it expensive for all (housing, schooling, medical, taxes, bad pollution, alcohol etc) only thing great in hong kong is that cigarettes are expensive, overall not going to get much for your buck..the people are mostly grumpy, rude and 80% highly strung.. melting pot, all the 3 airlines are both the same.. for job enjoyment.

Sim Assessment

I noticed i wasn't sent any profiles or procedures for the A320 sim assessment and I'm Non typed. Do they expect me to use my current company profiles or general A320 profiles?

They give you a briefing before the Sim on what and how they going to do it. Nothing out of the ordinary ! Only problem obviously is the side stick if you never flown a bus before.

Pull back on the side stick, houses get smaller, push forward, houses get bigger. Remember this and you will be a HKE gun

Hey, I’ll be going to the non-typed interview as well. Find out any more valuable information about the sim portion?

HK Express

First post here. Just wanna hear any feedback on this.
If they're hiring or not, total time required, rosters, benefits, airline culture and of course... salary....
