HKA Recruitment
So does that mean if someone has over 3000 TT and only Type Rated on the A320 , they can get a look in.
Can someone on the inside of HKA elaborate that for us.

Yup...From a fren of mine who applied recently:
He went for interview recently. He is rated on A330...with more than 3000hrs. And they sent him an email stating his successful application pending medical.
So its true...

They were setting up a cadet program in Europe last year for those without flying experience.
It's ridiculous because they make you pay for all the training and at the end, you MIGHT get an interview. An interview, not offer of employment. So after you spend all those money getting trained to be a pilot, you might not even get an interview.
I realize that's how almost all other pilots do it, but if you are going to set up a "cadet program", you can make them pay for it but you have to hire them or else whats the difference between the cadet program and normal flight school?

Good grief! You couldn't live in the Philippines on that, more less HK. What a complete joke. It would have to be 3 to 4 times that amount to even begin to be acceptable living in HK.

Top FO pay (3000hr jet) = 84750HKD -50hr flight (10900USD) which including housing.
lower FO pay (1500hr jet) = 77250HKD-50hr flight (9900USD) including housing.
Top Capt pay (3000hr jet) =123750HKD -50hr flight (15960usd) including housing
Low Capt (<3000hr) =113750HKD (14600usd)
if you fly a330 (FO or Capt) ADD ANOTHER 2500 (FO) /5000hkd (600usd) CAPT allowance PER MONTH.

no school, no loss of licence, no transportation
