I hope they all go down

Thats a strong comment yoyo - what's your gripe with them ????

I was invited for assessment with both HKA & HKE , as you may know u pay for your travel and accommodation and all the expenses
passed both screening as i am already rated and 10 years+ on type , no big deal

went home waiting for the joining date i get an email from both companies that due to their top management they won’t hire me ,,
later i found out its becuase of my nationality , so there it is
and i DO hope both companies shut down

JMock 11th January 2019 00:38

that is highly unlikely. Both airlines hire from anywhere, even have Iranians.

who told you?

look for another reason buddy

Hi man. I just applied with HK Express and I’ve also flown aircraft of 5.7t. How did it all go for you and what did you have to do ?

I have an upcoming assessment with HKE. I've shifted threw the forum and have seen plenty and feedback but after the latest info.

What's the assessment like?
What's the morale like in the airline?
Anything important I should know?

Thanks,

Bloated Stomach.

Having basic literacy skills would help.

There’s always one.

Anything important I should know?
The main shareholder and parent Airline are defaulting on lease payments and loans. Others "in the know" might be able to comment further on how this might affect HKE.

Thanks Mr.

Looks like a change is on the horizon. Hopefully for the better.

Been invited to the HKE A320 type rated interview next month. I've gone through the topic but was unable to scavenge latest information about the interview / assessment.

Any guidance will be appreciated :) . Thank you !

I want to know if things have improve or anything to watch out for. Do they pay on time and how much does an FO fly a month? Thank you.

The pilots at HKE are working their nuts off at the moment and having to contimplate the airline being taken over by CX. Whilst their employment is assured their futures are not. I hope you get a reply soon from an authorative source.

HKE SUCKS
 
I worked there. Was a captain NTR. Total crap instructors, training is the worst I’ve ever seen. They focus on so much minutia and bs it’s pathetic. I’m at s US carrier now on the same equipment. I feel like I have added 10 years to my life. So much easier and more practical then HKE. Serisouly, don’t even bother it’s not worth the hassle.

Kardesh can you guide me as to what I should expect in the interview and assessment ?

Bloated Stomach 25th March 2019 14:39

Feedback for this bunch.

They invite you for the assessment and book flights with 10 hour transits in between.

That was enough for me to realise the sort of airline they are.

Anyone given the interview for HK Express recently? Curious about the questions being asked in general in the technical interview. Any insider will be appreciated !

No tech questions, only HR questions (3 reasons why you wanna join , what do you know about us and stuff). Don’t worry about it cuz they are not listening. The money maker is sim. Normal Takeoff, Steep turns, VOR radial intercept, Go-around, Eng failure during go-around after clean up, OEI landing. Fully manual flying without FD and A/T until Go-around.
