JUST WEAR SHOES AND YOUR IN

My shoes are packed and polished.

Any info on the rosta regarding nights away/home? Looking at the routes and schedule on the company website it looks like nights at home night be frequent?

AHK Technical Quiz
 

I have an interview with AHK coming up next week. Does anyone have the Technical quiz?

Thanks;)

We have the quiz, i will send it right over,....
wait for it.

[QUOTE]Does anyone have the Technical quiz?


CFM 56
You would have done at least CPL or ATP, this is only a "technical quiz". ;)

Good luck!

My previous comment was 'tongue in cheek ', I cannot add to what has already been posted.

I just back from the initial intervew yesterday, anyone did the same me please share.

Captain's Pay
 

Just on average, how much does a AHK skipper earn after tax?

Not much I'm afraid. If you are topping up a legacy carrier pension or are domiciled in a low cost of living country it's fine but if you have a UK or Australian mortgage that has to be serviced entirely from Air Hong Kong salary then things are going to be tight.

But the 8 on / 6 off roster does provide for a great lifestyle.

Is a type rating required for direct LHS or will 340 command time be acceptable?

Are the 8 days on all out of base or do you sometimes come back through base during your "on" pattern.

hka interview
 

I have an interview with them next month, can i have the quiz as well plz..

Zap, Even if you are type rated on B744 or A300 you will still have to do a full HKCAD conversion course (and be bonded US$90k over 3 years) due the Draconian non recognition of other ICAO state type ratings.

8 days on are mainly out of base but some overnights at your home base on your own dime.

Is training bond legal in HK? :(

Thanks.

Good call. I'm not sure that it is. It might explain why you can elect to be employed by Air Hong Kong (Hong Kong), Air Hong Kong (Singapore) or Air Hong Kong (Malaysia).

AHK
 

I also got invited for a interview but does anyone know if they give you a housing allowance or supply you with accommodation at your base?

No such luck.

I did the calculations that you'll probably have to spend at least US$2000 a month if you live in either SIN or HKG.

Don't think they are offering PEN as a base.

AHK
 

Is that 2000 to rent a place. Sorry but have no idea of living expenses on that side of the world. Will one be able to live descently on the salary they offer for a F/O with a wife and 2 kids.

No. Absolutely not.

Single no Kids.

US$2000 a month rent. (700- maybe 900SQFT) place. Depending on where you want to live.

You'll probably look at another US$ 2000 maybe US$2500 on schooling for 2 kids depending on the age and where you send them!!!

Gone are the days when companies provided a Expat living.

:ugh::ugh::ugh:

AHK Interview
 

Hey there Guys.. hope all is well...
my mate who has about 2500 hours from GA flying Piston Aircraft has been invited for an Interview with AHK this Month...
Do they take Pilots with No jet Experience into the company..?
and Pls in anyone who has done the interview recently or in the past could please give us heads up on what does the interview process and technical Quiz entail..?
Much appreciated... God Bless u all..

Just wear shoes and your in

May not be able to afford shoes as well as paying the rent. Would flip-flops be OK?

hey guys
 

Does AHK provide accomodation in hong kong during the training period? I was just looking at some apartment rental prices in HK and found it impossible to afford a decent 1br with the under training pay in HK...:sad: Also, does anyone know how long the average training period is?

Anyone knows what the training bond will be? And what is the terms and conditions ,schedule,vacation ... ?

Why does everyone need to PM ? Can't a clear,honest opinion be posted on the public page...meaning right here.It would do everyone a big favour.Having applied to HKA (Capt)too and having rung them up to check the T&C's...I was told that if the application was found suitable, the T&C's would be informed accordingly.Found that a bit contradictory..considering that someone would apply based on the T&C's.Will post once something comes up.
As an aside...the ME carriers are also pretty cloak & dagger....inducting tons of aircraft but considering their oil rich status--pretty smart about giving 20% less than what they should.
Sometimes feel...that all Airline Pilots should be part of a central global Union (National Unions are woefully inadequate) to protect their own..........just thinking aloud...Cheers!!!

I have heard of a few people being interviewed recently I recieved an e-mail saying they were not recruiting on the 737NG fleet.. what about cargo??? does anyone have a direct e-mail adress or any info on what is happening regarding recruitment.

Air Hong Kong is Cargo Airline. 737NG? are you mixed up with Hong Kong Airlines?
Air Hong Kong has a website so try it.

Air HongKong
