i do approved it. HKA is getting worst. They are right now trying to finalize a program for cadet in order to face the lack of pilot. No one want to join and more are going to resign. The management team are crazy and focus on the way to keep their authority on people...they give a **** of the potential of pilot or whatever...all is about how to sufficiently lie to pilot just to maintain the actual ops.

Let me share my experience (even though I was ex HKA back in 2007)
I had an interview for flight ops position
Guess what the DFO said, "What would you say if we mark your KPI to the number of pilots recruited? So if you cant recruit the minimum crew that is required, we take a reduction in your salary?"
Man was I thrilled. I am now a Salesman. That is more than fair and square I said. Waste my time even looking back at this company Lol
HKA: Horrendous Krazy Azzholes Lol

Minimum 500 hours in aircraft above 10,000kgs;

I don't work there so someone correct me if you have more accurate figures, but my sources tell me a junior F/O with minimal or no jet time can expect about $60,000HKD per month (which includes housing) with overtime after 50 hours.

Put it this way mate, I have given an unbiased info pack of data, conditions facts etc to my Sons then, after having been asked repeatedly for an opinion - strongly advised them to choose a different career and feed any aviation desires by hiring stuff to play with at the weekend..... OR join the Miltary.

So speaking of the cadet program, it states a guaranteed interview.. by the looks of the downhill trend above would it be safe to say they would most likely employ their cadets ?

Prop drivers, put in a CV with HKE, they have recently hired prop drivers. It's not the greatest company but you don't have to pay to fly and you don't have to pay for your type rating.
