Hi Baxter,
The above destinations are correct but Chang Mai will not be untill May as paperwork has to be approved still. Initially all services will be charter until they can be proved, standard up here.
How did the contract shape up. I think you might have the upper hand.
Good luck with your decision.

Contracts/Resignations
Whats going on at HKE.
There have been a number of pilots interviewed over the past months. Not sure if guys have failed or they have just turned the job down. One thing is for sure with the resignation of yet another Captain the company will be short of pilots.
Is anyone keen to post the salary package that was offered at the last interviews so that everyone can see what is being offered.
Safe flying.

Those (with children) thinking of coming to HKE should look at the English Schools Foundation Website at www.esf.edu.hk for the latest on fees etc.

What's your previous experience (roughly)?
I have only just picked up this thread. After a brief conversation with a CPA chap the other week, I emailed my CV to the CP. Wondering if it got binned straight away or whether with my experience (just under 900h ish- currently flying a Chieftain) it might have escaped the "delete" key.

Resignations/Contracts
Sum Yung Guy ,What's going on there ?
I hear that the medical insuranse for family has just been pulled from the contract and there are serious pilot morale issues. School fees have just gone up also. Don't think I like the sound of it . Mythbuster sounds like he's on the money.

I hear moral in the office is at an all time low..............one captain is heading back to the dessert where he came from. With Dragonair hiring HK ATPLS holders with 3000 hours............I bet a few will jump ship.

What to do
Touchengo,
I can not confirm the change in medical insurance but as for schools you are definitely on your own. Not sure how much but a couple of our guys pay quite alot for schooling.
As for morale, well it speaks for itself when you look at the amount of new players on this thread. It is a big issue for the DFO as he could sink or swimm on this one. Watch this space
The boy off to the sandpit is just the start as there will be more.
This a good job to get a 1000hrs jet and then move on but for new Captains on as much as our old Co's and a 36000 usd bond/bank agreement (illegal whatever), would you want to.
As for new Co's on 34000ish hkd? "wow", sounds like cadets to me.
Bloody shame for an operation that has been operating for 7 months.
