Millions of USD for a flat is the middle class. A useful point of clarification.
A low cost pilot in Hong Kong is probably working class? Even by Marxist definition ! |
Glorious CX chairman just bought a 280 sq m flat - (so 3000 sq ft) for 120m HKD - 15.3m USD
"middle class" in HK is Quarry Bay. 600 sq flat there just sold in March for 9.7m HKD - 1 1/4 m USD. A hotel room is normally 300-350 sq ft... |

They are failing them so much these days. Its the WORST training i have ever experienced. No training, just checking. They take a sheet of paper, and start writing down all your mistakes so at the end it becomes a total !!!!e sandwich. The most negative training environment i have ever had the "pleasure" to be in. Im done with this mickey mouse excuse for an airline.

You can you imagine the culture if he/she weren’t alone in their scarily delusional self proclaimed positions of respected authority? If there were a place where the acumen at the top is represented by such an appalling lack of professionalism, one could presume the crew training and mis-guided understanding of “standards” may be derived from their own insecurities; given their worldwide reputations...? I doubt such a place exists, it’s the modern age. |

It looks like the environment in Hong Kong Express is not the best at this moment.
Maybe to avoid leading to a new mass cancelation of flights (again), they are refusing to provide their own pilots with the flight hours certificates required before you resign / join a new company. ( I am even not sure if this kind of policy is allowed ). Anyway, be careful if you join Hong Kong Express, you might not be able to leave. In regards to the upgrades: as far as I know, the initial promise was to upgrade around 24 FO's this year, and it looks like this number ATM is about 2 or 3 only, and all of them got extension of training when they check with their lunatic GMF. I also heard that the upgrade policy is terrible, there is no training, only checking. And it looks like there is some kind of dispute with Airbus' manuals in their operational philosophy. Failing rate is high, about 80%. Some FO's are there for almost 10 years and still haven't had a chance for their upgrade. How is that possible? I don't know. The rotation rate is very high, I knew a guy who stayed in HKE for less than a year, and another one that resigned during the training, they couldn't keep up with all the BS in there. Good luck |

The Fake Flight Safety Manager
From a reliable source from the company itself. To shed the recent light of whats happening in this company, so people who are applying may have a second thought if this is the company you really want to work for.
About 3 years ago, a pilot from vietjet, Anthony Ortolan applied for HKE for the post of flight safety technical manager. Many pilots on the line doubt he was even qualified to fly airbus. A few weeks ago, he was being investigated for forging fake airbus hours on the left hand seat and as well as Gulfstream. Anthony quitted the job and left hong kong overnight. The company has not inform the Civil aviation department of hong kong, hoping it will wither away. Rest assure it will appear in the hong kong news. |
Sorry to burst your bubble hijack. Also from inside the company, CAD was informed last week immediately upon discovery |
