I am sure inflightfeather made a sarcastic comment bout it. But no worries everybody got an email today to apply for the function of line training captain to bad they're no positions available as multi milionaire.

It just seems Morale is on a real low. DO we want another Line Captain Accepting the 5%, I thought we wanted to stay UNITED. GUESS, We are all talk. Sad, but give it time, ANOTHER Captain Planned to LEAVE SOON.
That would make it NUMBER 3.......

Hey Sparkplugs,

This was captain # 3 and I wouldn't be suprised if the new guy would be on a "B" scale.

Pity it has come to this so quickly, but as I've posted before, the head man over at your place isn't fit to be involved in aviation whatsoever.

On a more recent note, I hear one of your jets is due to be parked in Macau in the not too distant future, for the exclusive use of a certain special someone. Will believe that if and when it actually happens.

FOLLOW the FOLLOW ME, You are barking up the wrong tree ! We HKE Pilots are very very SATISFIED with our WORLD CLASS PREMIUM Contracts: Look what it includes:
a) NO HOUSING
b) NO EDUCATION ASSISTANCE
c) NO TRAVEL CASH BACK OPTION
d) NO COMMUTER ROSTER
e) NO 13th MONTH
Now tell me, who would leave this for KA....
WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW

Thumbs down

Spark Plugs, Don't know if you work at HKE or not. Judging by a couple of discrepancies in your post I would say it was the later.
To mention someone by name in a public forum is very poor form.
If you do work at HKE I'm sure the individual concerned would be more than happy to talk to you!

Spark plugs

If you are are so unhappy at HKE, go back to your previous job, which I am sure was not on a jet.You knew the deal before you joined HKE, so dont whinge now.

FAIR, FAIR
Unfortunatly, fighting a battle alone can be hard - Guilty as charged.
Pulling away from the contractual agreement set and signed is also poor form. An agreement is an agreement, hence the runners.
BACK Stabbing 5%ers, also bad form .....
PS: Enlighten me with the discrepancies.

To my knowledge the company is working on a loss of license insurance. There was an email in our mailbox last friday.

Strange I have medical insurance for all my family.
Supplied by the company and cards for all members.
If this is a case of differing contracts then maybe it needs to be looked into.

SP If you do work at HKE and are insinuating that I have been "Backstabbing 5%ers" I would be happy to discuss it with you at anytime in person.

Yes. The medical insurance is under review as are many areas , none of them good for us. So shortly your cards will be worth zip. Take off the rose glasses , we have to help each other and not persue our own adgendas . Get real Bill !

An Apology

I must apologise......I was wrong in my earlier post about this company. It actually took less time than I thought for the fantasy to deteriorate into a reality.

I wish that I had been more strenuous in my warnings about the ultimate fate of what was a golden opportuntity for many a young pilot seeking that first step into jets. I just hope that you guys haven't lost hope. Remember, not all companies are bad...just the ones asociated with the incompetent nephew of a great man.

I was lucky...I still have the application letter that didn't get sent. Things are still not grate here in Macau but at least we know where we stand.

Bill......don't defend the indefensible. You only lower you own dignity.

Desperados

SparkPlugs,

Desperate Co's can be found 10 deep at the local tip. Experienced Capt's are a lot more costly. When YOU have paid the price of experience you will be less likely to want to bend over . Ref. William Blake (The Price Of Experience).

Sparky

Not negative, just realistic and judging by the posts on this thread, it appears I may not be the only one taking this view. Do me a favor, should you actually have time prior to the locks being changed on the doors, send me a pm so I can walk over and watch the house of cards implode.
