Work in HK
 
Hi all,

Currently flying in the pacific, but want to move on , I will be in HK next week for a week and I am looking for some advice about who I should go and see there about finding work and what airlines doors I should knock on...? I have 1k+ hours on the 737

In the Pacific ey?

Nice Beaches, good weather, little pollution, nice natives and reasonably cheap cost of living......

Versus Hong Kong, Pollution Pollution and oh did I say Pollution?

Maybe try using the aforementioned "Google" to search airlines in HK....

Just wondering Boeing. How long have you been with Airpac?

Pucka 19th May 2013 13:30

Stay in situ..check out Fiji Airlines or Mauritius if you want a change but here..it politically a complete mess..do yourself a favour, here the grass is not greener..its the air.....!

Air Pathetic
 
Heard there were 4 young ~1000hr 737 contract FOs recently terminated from FJ due to poor performance during line training...coincidence? :oh:

What nitpicker failed to mention was the pollution, which is really polluted, other than that, what he said :ok:

Flyer why dont you go back to where you come from? Oh you have no work down under, so you have to come HK to beg for a living. Stop moaning or go you ll feel better that way

None of the airlines based in HKG operate 737s. There might be a corporate one (or two) floating around but not sure if they are based in HKG.

nitpicker330 21st May 2013 06:26

ummmmmm wrong......quite a lot of Hong Kong Airlines/Express 737-800's based in HK and using B- registrations.....in fact an x CX mate has a command on one too.....he's based in HK and lives in Tung Chung...

( maybe the Airline isn't "based" in HK but the Aircraft and crew sure are )

Boeing Europe 21st May 2013 06:46

There was only 1 actually and it certaintly was not me :D , none terminated at line training. ,

You obviously haven't spoken to your mate for a while.

nitpicker330 21st May 2013 10:21

Yes I spoke to him about 1 month back, wasn't too happy with life and mentioned the A320 change over....

You telling me that since I've been away for 12 days all B registered 738's I saw in HK have gone??

Hong Kong Airlines - ch-aviation.ch

Me thinks you've been away for longer (mentally). :hmm:

nitpicker330 22nd May 2013 09:16

Mmmmmm

Hong Kong Airlines OWN website says they operate 6 Boeing 737-800's

Hong Kong Airlines Fleet

Whilst I admit to not having seen one recently or spoken to my friend it appears you "may" be wrong. Unless their own website is out of date??

Either way I'm looking at HKIA now and keeping an Eye out. :ok:

EXXMAN 22nd May 2013 10:34

That may be the case,

However, their own website also says,

"Due to rapid expansion, we are looking for high caliber candidates to join our professional team."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAOOHOHOHOHOHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


I rest my case

HK produces very little polution, just inherits a lot from Shenzen and other parts of China. I'm glad I moved back to Oz.
