HK Express Second Officer Recruitment
 

Anyone is interested?
Does anyone have any clue on the PAY SCALE for UO 2nd officer?
Not much information can be found online.

Qualifications:
- HKCAD CPL Holder issued under HKCAD Approved Integrated Course
- Valid HK Permanent ID Holder

I guess more local airlines (HX, UO.....) may start preparing to accept graduates from HKIAA cadet pilot program, any thoughts?

Many Thanks!

hello, I applied about a week ago

Great to hear that and wish you good luck!

Do you have any ideas on its remuneration package?
Tried to contact HKE, Flygosh and do some research online but in vain....

Just want to understand it for reference.
Many Thanks!

“ Pay scale “ …… I think this might be one of those ‘ if you have to ask you can’t afford it! ‘ type deals! ;-)

How can you be an SO on an A320?

Seriously nobody should sign up for this, this is why T&C’s are in the toilet. You would be flying as an FO getting SO pay.

There will only be 2 pilots on board, a captain and an FO.

I suppose you will be buying your type rating as well.

That is very good advice

It did exist when Cathay dragon (KA) was still there.
Once you graduated from KA cadet program you would be SO but trained for FO's job tasks (including takeoff and landing).
Your rank was still SO but getting FO pay.

It might or might not be the case for HKE but I just wanna to ask and know about it.
Moreover, no one needs to buy his/her type rating for joining any CPL250 posts in Hong Kong.
You might be confused with some other SE Asian airlines.

The CX SOs whom have asked to transfer to HKE are doing it to log some front seat time. Once they have a chunk they are out of here. Another dumb idea from CX which wont work as planned.

Yep, lots of senior FOs with good passports. Upgrade time went down to 5 years on the big boys fleet. 500 hrs and they are gone.

Anyone has any updates from UO?

hey I applied few days ago

I applied a month ago and the status is still "application acknowledged".

same here...Do you know anyone applied and got a response?

not really. Everyone I know with a CPL got in CX cadet and need to do another 50+ week training.

really? I thought CPL holder could skip those initial training
there’s a guy I know didn’t do the training from 0

Hi Kalimera may I know more about the details? (how do I go about requesting reduction in training hours ) I am looking to apply the cadet pilot programme with a CPL as well !
Cheers

Anyone have any updates or received a response from UO?

As regular SLF, it’s getting frickin scary who is up front these days.
How many have hand flown an aircraft in IMC on limited panel?? Probably even more scary, how many have hand flown an aircraft (not simulator) full stop?!!

So Suzie, in your career have you flown "limited panel in IMC during an approach?" this I've got to hear....

Just curious, in CX, the SO can only fly above 20k feet I think, and mostly does fuel checks. What would the SO do at HK Express?

Also, the local bus firms are hiring for up to 31k / month. Would UO SO make that level?
