Q for Canadians at Dragonair or Cathay

Hi guys,

I am a Canadian CPL with 1600TT including 1300 Multi-turbine, interested in working in HKG. I know all about the IFALPA thing at Cathay, so until that is gone, how about filling me in on Dragonair. Heard a bunch of Selkirk College grads are over there, I graduated in '00. Anyone who can give me a hand be much appreciated.

Dragonair

At the present time KA appears to only consider applications with 3500 hours plus and relevant heavy/turboprop time !!!

Command fast at KA and need 5000 hours total so don't want a backlog of frustrated FOs !

On the bus at Dragonair commands now possible in less than a year if rated and have the time. On 747 first command upgrades now being done on previously non rated guys in 16 months. There is now only one choice of airline in HKG!
