Hong Kong Airlines (HKA)

2 man crew on the EK 777 red eye return from Kolkata with a FO with ICAO level 4 and a few hours on a 10 T on bug smasher. Then the EICAS says dual eng failire.

Rather them than me . I’ll stick with CX.

[Trafalgar]

Hahahahaha. And you think that is any different than what we are now dealing with? Welcome to our new Mumba turnaround through the night pattern. At least EK pays profit sharing, has relatively quick commands and seems to be improving their contracts on an ongoing basis. Oh, and the last time I checked you don't live in a shoebox in Dubai either.

Huh? Same, same at CX, possibly worse. Or are you kidding us again?

[Trafalgar]

No, it's worse. Declining EVERYTHING at CX. No promotion, no housing, no profit sharing, no girls you can actually have a laugh and a beer with (and don't discount that last point over a long career), no chance to put any money away, no proper medical, no proper retirement. I could go on, but those are just a few of the items that EK provides at a higher level than CX (or just about any other airline from back home as well).

No 380's

[ACMS]

What you think we should have bought that ugly piece of crap that nobody else apart from EK now wants?

Sure the Sandpit is one happy place, I mean they have a higher turnover than we do.

[Trafalgar]

On a percentage basis, we are at a higher rate of resignation. You can't have one/two or even three members of a heavy crew saying they are looking for a new employer almost every flight and not have the industry leading resignation rate.

[volare_737]

I think its funny how the Cathay CX guys just take over !Is this not a thread about HKA ?

[ACMS]

Sorry Volare .......back to you.

[Trafalgar]

What....you mean it's not all about me ! (fair point, back to the correct topic)

[volare_737]

haha - funny - Checked today and HKA is still flying !

[Freehills]

So, apparantly 34% has been sold to these guys

Frontier Investment Partners

Hmm

[Slarberg]

I am thinking to apply for a DEC with HKA.

How is your roster guys?

Are you flying only China flights? Or mixed a during a month? Long haul + short haul?

Thanks

[Farman Biplane]

Why would anyone go to HKA as DEC when you can get a mainland China contract and earn significantly more?

[ANTIPHOLUS]

Have you seen the place. PRC that is ? Or spent much time in it.
The salaries are paid for a reason.

[mngmt mole]

Umm, you can be based in your home country, so what is your point?

[pfvspnf]

HKA package still the same ? No increase even with need for more crew?

[Air Profit]

Everything evolves, you just have to be patient.

[MainDude]

Let’s see whether HKA pays bonuses. That’s the acid test whether the company’s trend is positive or negative.

From the other thread HKE has got one month! Did HKA pay out ?
