I thought they just had a round of interviews a a few days ago.
Is that true ? and if so anyone knows how many interviewed and how many got hired ?
I sent my application and never got an answer back , is there a lead on who to contact ?

Hi, i also sent in an application but haven't heard form them yet..

Hi, I just would like to get an idea how long is the traning for NTR FO since day 1 until check line ? and also how much is the salary within that period ?

regards

HKA is no longer hiring as they are restructuring.

No more non type rated, and less than 3000 hours guys.

HKA Recruitment
 

So does that mean if someone has over 3000 TT and only Type Rated on the A320 , they can get a look in.

Can someone on the inside of HKA elaborate that for us.

Oz

Yup...From a fren of mine who applied recently:

He went for interview recently. He is rated on A330...with more than 3000hrs. And they sent him an email stating his successful application pending medical.

So its true...

Thanks Coldastone ,

I would really like to hear from the group if anyone has got a look in with only Turbo Prop hours over 3000 TT and just a Type Rating only on A320 and how did they go about getting a job /look in with HKA.

Thanks

Oz

FM,


I'm hearing that it is 3 months. I don't know what the breakdown is within that time frame, but if you find out please keep us posted.


Thanks.

Can someone who has gone through the interview process please PM me?

They were setting up a cadet program in Europe last year for those without flying experience.

It's ridiculous because they make you pay for all the training and at the end, you MIGHT get an interview. An interview, not offer of employment. So after you spend all those money getting trained to be a pilot, you might not even get an interview.

I realize that's how almost all other pilots do it, but if you are going to set up a "cadet program", you can make them pay for it but you have to hire them or else whats the difference between the cadet program and normal flight school?

How much are A320 Captains paid?

3 year contract with WASINC according to their website:

Google is your friend ;-)

Looking at these numbers, nowhere near enough money to live well in HK.

CP

Good grief! You couldn't live in the Philippines on that, more less HK. What a complete joke. It would have to be 3 to 4 times that amount to even begin to be acceptable living in HK. :eek:

I'm not sure what you're smoking, as this is more than double what a new joiner s/o at CX would get, and probably at least 30% more than a new joiner f/o at KA would get. I'm not saying it's great, but they still seem to be getting guys willing to join so it can't be that bad. And you'd be living like a king in the Philippines on that.

That must be in USD...

@ Trafalgar, as Sue R says if you need 45K plus USD a month to live in HK you need serious Help and 15 for Phills OMG I couldnt throw it away quick enough.
The Figures are in USD mate.

Ok, USD...got it, much better. Don't know why I wouldn't realise that a HK airline centric post would be in USD...! ;-)

Top FO pay (3000hr jet) = 84750HKD -50hr flight (10900USD) which including housing.

lower FO pay (1500hr jet) = 77250HKD-50hr flight (9900USD) including housing.

Top Capt pay (3000hr jet) =123750HKD -50hr flight (15960usd) including housing
Low Capt (<3000hr) =113750HKD (14600usd)

if you fly a330 (FO or Capt) ADD ANOTHER 2500 (FO) /5000hkd (600usd) CAPT allowance PER MONTH.

HKA Interview
 

Hey guys.. great info here thanks but any info on the profile and interview tech exam? Anything on the interview would be much appreciated...

Thanks!!
P

Guys, a great place to prep for interview is here: Hong Kong Airlines Pilot Interview-Latest Pilot Jobs-Latest Pilot Jobs

Also, the pay figures posted previously are correct, but that is at base pay of 50 hours. A normal month for me is closer to 65-70 hours. So on Senior 330 FO pay, i get somewhere around 14K a month. But living in Hong Kong, that isn't as much as it sounds. Lots of rumors about another pay raise, hopefully much better than the last one.

Anyone has info about the HKA interview latest

I received an invitation on HKA Pilot interview which will be held in November 2015,I am not sure if HKA is a reliable airlines.i am not current on my A320.am I consider not rated or what.

I'm not current anymore

I would like to know if HKA is hiring prop driver??? Any advantage if you have hkid for direct entry fo (ntr) position??

Do they fly you to HK for interview?
How is schedule and upgrade?

Pay seems better than cadet programe, correct me if I am wrong. Fo time is better than so time as well

Or Dalton computers. Oh, hang on. He's too young to know what that is. ?!!
In all seriousness. Avoid HKA and the HNA and the HPA like the plague.

Sound advice.

Meaning?!
 

Care to elaborate gentlemen? The plague?!? That bad??

Zero hours A320 accepted?
 

Hi Guys!

Does someone know if HKA hire freshly type rated pilots with less than 1000Hrs TT?

Thanks in advance for your help!

How is the interview process for pilots?? any updates??

Hi.
Please could someone share any news about assessment process with HKA?
Thanks

They have a kind of partnership with HKE?

Anyone knows anything about upgrades? Minimum hours?

Hello,

Anobody did the interview recently?
Any tips?

Thanks

Anyone have any info on the atpl/tech interview questions?

Much appreciated.

Everyone has told you guys what HKA is like to work at, yet you can't wait to join the race to the bottom. Just like CX C-Scale, pilots will always lower themselves to accept sh!t sandwiches then moan when their breath stinks.

Interview tips? Here's one: Don't go. That's the the advice every seems to be giving you.

Otherwise, they fly A320's and A330's. How about you studying up on them and basic IR sim profiles. Shock horror! You might get a V1 cut and raw data ILS, just like almost every other sim profile in the world. You might need to know basic ATP / ATPL stuff. HKA is guess where? In HK! So how about you study up on rental prices, costs of living, etc of HK? Is it just me or is this all too obvious?

Friends of mine joined HKA before & after their 330's came. A few spoke out against the DFO's blatant lies and so he fired all of them from the same nationality in one foul swoop. "Trouble makers" he called them when he was caught out as an undeniable liar. (Eventually they ended up at CX on CoS 08). The management lied to them for years about seniority and deliveries, & still do but so many lap it up. HKA were placed on the CAD Cat 2 register for a reason. So where are the 380s, 777s & 350 orders that the DFO assured the pilots were coming / on order?

Seriously, some of you could be handed a rotting bowl of curry, be warned about the repercussions yet still eat it. Then moan here about your rancid stomach for getting what you asked for.

Question are they hiring non-typed onto the A320 again?
