Hi Guys,
Anyone know what HK Express are looking to pay for Capt.'s and FO's on the 737NG.
Cheers.

Is it me or you thats confused :confused:
HK Express (Shuttle) operate Embraer 170s and 190s.
CR Airways (Bauhinia) operate CRJs and 737NGs.

I saw an Ad in "The Australian" Newspaper looking for drivers for Hk Express on the NG, so maybe they are on the way.
Cheers

Here is the ad I saw last friday. I dont know the particulars with regard to pay and conditions, would be interesting to see what the terms are though.
Cheers

Hainan Group will join in HKE, same as CR airways. Thats explain they are looking for 737 crew.

looks like hainan is taking over everything in HK. anyone got a reply from HKE ? will be curious about the payscale too. thx in advance.

Threw an app in for the hell of it, I havent heard a thing...

What sort of time have guys had in the past when theyve been picked up?

Think Capt pay at hk xpress is around HK$ 60,000 all in. About equal to most guys housing allowance here :E

IMHO, HKD 60,000 without any allowances is a little low for a Captain's position. Is that figure mentioned before tax ? and if i am not mistaken, tax in HK is approx. 15%. any inputs ?

Got an invite for an interview...
For the guys that are already there, is it worth it? Can you survive on what seems like very little? Time to command?

Cheers

Not 737 rated, I do have jet time though. Anyone have any info on HKE? Judging by what I've read so far, Im not sure It'd be a wise move financially...

Check your PM's.

For those considering this option, have a REAL think about living expenses in HKG. Pay particular attention to housing, schooling, groceries and entertainment. If you merely convert the HKD salary to a pacific peso currency (NZD/AUD) it will seem pretty good. But apply it to a HKG cost base and you'll find your quality of life is like it was those many years ago, living in a caravan park by the airport, hoping for a C210 job.

There is a reason CX and KA pay what they do. It's not out of generosity.
