it is such a bull**** airline

chouchou22 25th Feb 2015 02:56

i do approved it. HKA is getting worst. They are right now trying to finalize a program for cadet in order to face the lack of pilot. No one want to join and more are going to resign. The management team are crazy and focus on the way to keep their authority on people...they give a **** of the potential of pilot or whatever...all is about how to sufficiently lie to pilot just to maintain the actual ops.

HKA = 0

Let me share my experience (even though I was ex HKA back in 2007)

I had an interview for flight ops position

Guess what the DFO said, "What would you say if we mark your KPI to the number of pilots recruited? So if you cant recruit the minimum crew that is required, we take a reduction in your salary?"

Man was I thrilled. I am now a Salesman. That is more than fair and square I said. Waste my time even looking back at this company Lol :}

HKA: Horrendous Krazy Azzholes Lol

Turboprop driver here looking to move onto a jet. Is this requirement really the realistic requirement or are they actually looking for some higher numbers?

I don't work there so someone correct me if you have more accurate figures, but my sources tell me a junior F/O with minimal or no jet time can expect about $60,000HKD per month (which includes housing) with overtime after 50 hours.

Would love to hear from some prop dudes if they make it in :ok:

According to source I have, they won't even bother with turboprop drivers. Too many applicants with jet hours. :(

How's the situation in HKA now? Got a buddy who is due for interview this month. Info much appreciated

PropDude 5th May 2015 10:33

I am searching this forum everyday for new info. Haven't found a positive thread or even a positive comment for any airline!!! :ugh:

White None 5th May 2015 10:40

Put it this way mate, I have given an unbiased info pack of data, conditions facts etc to my Sons then, after having been asked repeatedly for an opinion - strongly advised them to choose a different career and feed any aviation desires by hiring stuff to play with at the weekend..... OR join the Miltary.

coldastone17 5th May 2015 11:44

:ok:....well said

PropDude 5th May 2015 11:59

Hehehehe yea , my father tried the same with me but didn't work. Anyway it doesn't sound like a bad deal for NTR people looking to move froward to jets.

timothy9338 5th May 2015 12:18

So speaking of the cadet program, it states a guaranteed interview.. by the looks of the downhill trend above would it be safe to say they would most likely employ their cadets ?

Prop drivers, put in a CV with HKE, they have recently hired prop drivers. It's not the greatest company but you don't have to pay to fly and you don't have to pay for your type rating.

They are only looking for type rated guys for now. Last year, they were offering A320 NTR FO positions however its recruitment just got stopped for no apparent reason.
