You didn't make a case, or a point.

OK laaa, here

Basic. MBA(g). MBA(p)
25.000 + 15.000 + 17.750 = 57.750 the full basic salary you will get when the training is complete.

happy now? :8

Better be off that crap of people at the Training Department full of Brazilians who don't know anything about Airbus and think they have discovered Aviation a long time ago. They will make you feel as an idiot every time you try to make a decision in the cockpit, considering they were flying Boeing just a while ago.
Don't wanna comment on the Belgian guy who is now running the Department of Operations after a completely mad psychopathic Australian guy was stepped down. He comes from HKA and the biggest SH1T and dishonest person you'll ever meet. If you're a FO you'll never be upgraded. They make exams every 4 or 5 months and fail the most honest and prepared FO because they feel they haven't reached the appropriate level. Good luck.

Hi everyone,

Anyone recently had an interview with HKExpress?
I went through the thread but was unable to gather latest information about the interview and assessment.

Any information you can provide me would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Yes.
Stay away.

Pay attention I will only say this once
Interview Process:
1. Panel Interview with management pilots
2. Simulator Assessment
3. COMPASS Test
4. Medical Check
5. English Test

The simulator is done completely raw data. Expect to do V1 Cut, ILS Go around and other airwork such as intercepting a VOR Radial.


Jim167 22nd September 2019 08:55

Appreciate the info, I didn't realize they were doing a compass test? Also how tech-focused is the interview?

1. Command upgrade. Forget about the command upgrade.
2. Any expat group. Pilots are basically expats in Hong Kong. The mob is Brazilians in HKE
3. Working culture. Once you are released the atmosphere is good, but until you are released and overtime you do an OPC you will suffer the Brazilian mob.
​​​​​​​4. Bond. No bond

There is a bond. Well, as of recent company documentation.

Yes. There is a bond that is illegal by Hong kong laws. You are required to sign the bond on a different paper that the contract with the Company, and there is no follow up of that bond in case you decide to leave Hong Kong.

Check2 21st October 2019 08:12

So.. Pilots have left and the company does not try to get the bond back...?

I have no experience with HKE, but I am assume that they will not give you your release papers (no accident/ incident, employment, reference, flight hours confirmation) if you do that. Which may make it difficult on your next job.
