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!!
