Dan,

You went for an interview as well. Seems like a good package.

Yep, good command prospects too. If called for the second interview, do you want to go splits on a sim pre ride?

Cool

Hi Dan,

Just got back from HKG and can say that all looks good. Hope to see you on board soon!

As for the 400 rumour I think it's a long way off and will probably only happen if they expand the cargo operation to trans Pacific. However there is still plenty of market share for them to take in Europe and also regionally in Asia.

See SCMP of 4th june about going to the US. Also talk of increasing Europe freqs including directs. I's have thought a 400 necessary but maybe more classics. Expansion anyway.

Nothing to worry about chaps. You'll be given everything you need to know in order to pass the air law and perf A exams.

You'll meet all the wheels and office staff that you'll need to know (rostering, personnel etc). Everybody is very friendly and welcoming and keen to give the impression of a happy company.

The rest of your time will no doubt be spent in Wanchai!

The 747 conversion course is at Burgess Hill and again you'll be given everything you need to know. You won't sit the CAD exam until you go back to HKG for Base Tng.

Enjoy your time in HKG and welcome to the company.
