Dragonair Recruitment
 

Gentlemen and Ladies of Dragonair ...

What is the company like ???

Broad I Know but how about info on salaries, conditions, management, Corporate attitude, command time etc etc .....

I would really appreciate some information prior to meeting the delegation at interview !!!

Ta

Time to command running at about 3 years at the moment has been as low as a year in the past.

Nice people to fly and work with.

Old style management, not enlightened generally bottom line driven.

Flt Ops a little autocratic in it's approach.

Base salary 55k HK$ per month + housing + loss of licence + medical + education + travel fund for HK based crews.

No one knows what the freighter will pay.

Thankyou very much Jaded !!!

All input appreciated...

What are the realistic experience minimums that one needs to get an interview? I fly a twin otter, have an Oz ATPL---am I worthy???

Can't recall the stated requirements.
I believe they are published at dragonair.com under job opportuities.

I'd apply anyway, we have a lot of people off light turbo props and the like in the rhs of the 330 and 320.

They settle in well after the initial shock <grin>.

Thanks alot Mr Jaded. I've also got a Dragonair file at present, although when I spoke to Ann Law last week she tells me the minimum is still 500 hrs jet, with Airbus time preferred. I was surprised that there were still guys sitting around like that!

Good to have an idea of the money and stuff though - its pretty hard to find out much about Dragonair re employment condx etc.

I'm curious about these ex turbo prop RHS's. I am a new FO on B 737 300's with 4000 hrs 2000+ turbine, 2 ICAO ATPLs, degree etc etc and have been applying for 7 years to Dragon - and nothing! Whats the magic word one needs to say at Dragon???

Would appreciate any advice - buy you a couple in WAN CHAI if it works!! (Yup spent tiem in HK and still wanna go - am I insane?)

Bonkers! :) Good Luck mate.

Well you fell for it!!!!

Hi Tube
You just have to keep plugging away.
They are a bit swamped these days.
Keep writing, you hear stories of it taking 3 years for some guys and weeks for others.
Good luck.
Despite all the black humour around they are fun bunch of guys to fly with.

If what I read about the demise of Transaer (Ireland)is true, then there will be a supply of A320 rated guys knocking on Ann Laws desk! This is typical of the industry, just as it looks like salarys will have to rise to attract "talent & experience" down goes a repitable carrier.And the Emirates command situation does not help!

Hey just when I waa starting to feel good about all this - this Irish A320 co. goes bust! Hope they all get something where they need to be. I love HK but know some don't. Can't imagine dragging an unwilling partner etc down here would be fun!

Just in case the rest of us still have a chance does anyone know what to expect from a Dragonair interview?

Is there any material a'la the CX "how to pass" book around? Or is just the usual 'handling the big jets' book quiz + medical & sim etc.

Any info would be great!

Anyone hear back from thier initial interviews yet ??? ;)

No !!!

No reply as yet and has been a while.....

do I feel rejected ??? Hmmmmmmmmm

Hello
