Aww come on Dekka, don't get all girlie on me.

Seriously though, there are a lot of guys that are looking for jobs and they just want to know what they can expect. On the one hand you've told us that you can expect to almost double your basic salary and fly around 45-55 hours a month. That just doesn't make sense given the numbers AHK gave me. If I'm wrong fine but you've not really explained how you can make an extra $40,000 a year.

If anyone is really interested in AHK and wants to see the figures they send out to interviewees, let me know and I'll forward it to you.

Dekka,

Don't waste your precious time for this Kenny boy, mate. I don't wanna fly with this idiot in future in our ops.

FO salary is 46K a year, 3833 usd a month.

They pay 32 usd each hr for the first 45 hs. That is 1440 usd a month.

Basic plus 45 hs is 5373 usd.

each extra hr of 45 is paid 70 usd. Let say 5 hs exta a month, thats 350 usd.

Basic plus 45 hs plus extra 5 hs thats a total of 5623 USD flying 50 hs a month.

perdiems are 700 usd for 8 days. 16 days a month aprox 1400 usd a month.

Basic (3833 usd) + 45 hs (32 usd x hr) + 5 hs (70 usd x hr) + Per diems (1400 usd) = 7023 usd a month.

11 months full salary plus 1 month basic salary (vacations with no flying, no per diem, etc) = 81086 usd per year.

Kenny,

No, I'm not Mesa, or for that matter any regional. I didn't go that route because of what you supposingly claim-I didn't take a shiny jet because of that insultingly low pay.
And I don't believe for one second that there ever was a regional starting you out at 35000 in the first year. Yeah, right; maybe, and even then I don't know, if you worked every extra day that you legally could. But where's the life in that.
I'm glad I didn't get to taste regional life.

On the AHK issue, I won't get in on that, because I don't know.

sorry about the double post-stupid internet!!

Thank you 7Q, that's all it needed.

I guess the answer to your question that you have finally accepted after 3 days is yes...

Who looks like the d1ckhead now - Case closed.

:ok:

simple maths.

from www.airlinepilotcentral.com, there are no Airlines in the US (operating CRJs)that would pay over 6 figures USD/year.

Obviously, this guy is talking horse shxt.

Just look where he's from, nuff said!

Possible?
 

Its mean that someone Can be a Part of AHK just right after his/her Training?
Compare to their Hiring requirements Someone will have that type of hours,Experience during his training.
Direct Entry First Officers (Ab-initio)

Hold a valid ICAO Commercial Pilot's Licence (CPL) together with a 'Frozen' ATPL i.e. has passed all ATPL examination subjects
Have a minimum of 250 hours fixed wing experience
Hold a valid multi-engine instrument rating
Hold a current Class 1 medical certificate
Have as a minimum ICAO Level 4 fluency in spoken English

Am i right?

I am interested in the Ab-Initio DEFO offered by AHK, because I'm a fresh graduate with Frozen ATPL with 0 Jet Hours.

Getting into AHK would be great for me, because I would be flying a widebody and I love the 8 days on 6 days off lifestyle. Don't mind with the 4 years bond, I'm willing to spend the 4 years to clock up my widebody Jet hours. :ok:

:ok:
 

Good luck mate:)

Just a quick question for those inside:

1. Who is running the show there?
2. Who is the CP?
3. Whats the morale like?

Thanks in advance

Their uniform is awful. They will look a lot better if they will stop wearing those stupid jackets and wear the real leather jackets. Don't forget to add the hat, too!:ok:

Regarding jacket good idea but hat,everybody will resign!
RD would be very happy to order red hats with yellow tail-to represent CX/ DHL partnership.:\:{:=

Sorry guys...I probably miss something, but the figures in the 3d are referred to ab-initio f/o or a direct ones with higher minimum requirements...or maybe no difference?

I barely hit the minimums for DEFO, do you think have any chanche to be hired? How's life for european guys? Pretty much upset to leave Italy...but my current work going really bad...and..must admit...big iron sounds good!!

FB

No answers...are you all flying?

xdc9er, would be really grateful if you could forward this info to me as well...thanks...I'm in the same situation as FB...

Jumpseat
 

Do they have any Jumpseat privileges with some airlines, or just ID90 with CX/KA?

Anyone with a serious answer? :)

Join them, get sucked in and you will find out..!

Good luck.

Good one Captain..

Why don't you f*ck off to Hong Kong Airlines with the rest of them.

I for one am tired of this thread. There are quite a few of us here in Hong Kong with friends in AHK.

Unfortunately, this forum is not as informative as it used to be.
So much politics, hate and bs...What a shame
I guess it is pointless looking for answers here...

Classicart, Keep us posted!
 

I for one am interested in how Classicart fares with his interview and whether he takes up the job at Air Hong Kong or not.

Classicart, any updates on your situation?

CRONUS

If you are tired of this thread, then don't open/look and mind your own buisness then!! :}

Don't have tell others what to do either.. :=

Chill bro!

Tool
 

Back to Flight Sim 2000 for you Vertigo..

will CX/KA hire pilots from AHK?
i know CX doesn't hire pilots from KA and vice versa (of course not including the the recent combination of seniority)

and how does the AHK uniform look like?

Really? I thought CX's backed up with FO training right now due to all the oasis and KA pilots going over.

Who cares about how the uniform looks like. i don't think the cargo boxes will find you appealing with your pilot uniform on :cool:

http://jakal.co.nz/images/header-courier-160.jpghow does the AHK uniform look like? ... same as the DHL truck diver....

:ok:......................

Boys, Boys,...., let's not get in a "my dong's bigger than yours contest", cause, well, quite frankly you'd all lose!!!:cool:

And I'm sorry to have to say this, but I think the DHL courier outfits look a lot better than some airline uniforms (Skybus for ex).

Flame away.....

Any constructive news on any latest AHK interviews?

Is pay increasing each year or is this one pay for all fo? is training pay same also? commuteing pilots do you need a place to stay in your base? or are trips 8 days away from base so commute home and no need of apartment in base? sorry if my questions are not correct. some guy complained my english is difficult to read. regards. singh

Any AHK pilot care to answer what is the time to command for a direct entry FO and if jumpseating on company aircraft on your off days to your home is allowed?

Thanks in advance and all the best for the new year.

wat is the hiring situation in AHK for ab-initio Fos
any info pls......
TC

Stone, as with everybody else I believe they are not hiring at the moment and also have a pool of applicants lined up for when they do

How many in thw pool? Do they have cadets there as well?

@Fooey
 

thankx for the reply......
any advice of any companies where i can build turbine time
TC

They must be hurting
 

If every major airline around this region is experiencing a huge drop off in cargo revenue, but still getting some paying pax, then AHK must be hurting! Mind you fuel is now cheap...isn't it?
