Haven't seen it myself, but understand yesterday's SCMP had an interesting article in it concerning HKE and Hainan Air. Old AT just can't get enough press. Am also hearing whispers in the restaurant about a HKE internal memo on the same subject, asking staff not to talk about things. How nuts is that, you put out an internal notice and then turn around and blab your face off to the newspaper!!!!!

re: trouble at the top
Badapple ,
You may be right there. a CX F/O friend of mine told me he was recently flying with a certain check capt.( a well known opportunist) soon to retire who has been approached for the job. Damage control ?

Sparky (besides demonstrating yet again HE belongs in a Snap On chest), continues to miss the point. So now we are to believe the current HKE CP is the source of your woes Sparky??? My son, it's time you stepped back, waaaaaaaaaay back and took in the BIG picture. Your (if you really do work there) CP is simply having his strings tugged by someone else. Go figure who that might be.
Still curious how a new company can set up so much uncertainty? I suggest you become familar with your company's org chart and take a look at the name on top. If what I hear about your bossman is correct, HKE will have a sh!tload of them (org charts that is)!!!!!
My latest intel still suggests a HKE machine will be sent over to Macau in the not too distant future. Who knows, maybe I'll be the one saying I told you so.

Enough is enough
Ok, Sparky et al......pick up your dummies and stop wasting time with the chirlish comments.
Listen up.
About a year ago I made my first post on this thread. In fact it was I who first labelled one of the long since gone participants a eunuch. Why? Simple:
A eunuch thinks he knows how it is done,
He sees it happening all around him,
But....he just can't do it himself...
This analogy applies to many of the actors in this shortlived fantasy called HKE. The lead actor being, of course, the little man at the top.
Back to my point... My purpose in contributing to this thread was in the hope of warning wannabes not to jump in with rose colored glasses but to see it as it really is; an opportunity to MAYBE get a rating and some experience. Not to expect a longterm and rewarding career. I remember one starry eyed contributor telling us that he wanted to 'pursue the dream'. Well, damn right it was a dream. Maybe more of a nightmare for many already that have decided that enough is enough.
Much to my amusement, and I am sure others, Sparkles is already telling us that "I told you so" . I only hope that he will exhibit the same humility when he informs us that he has also Fedexed his uniform back to head office. As far as changing CP's.....c'mon, do you really believe that? My learned friend Omnipotent is unrelenting in his attempts to instruct less experienced people in the ways of the management. Pilots are seen as bus drivers in this neck of the woods, and the cp rates very low on the food chain.
Over and out

Get out of the gutter
I continue to be amazed at how quickly people will resort to abusive language and childish outbursts.
By all means state your opinion; you are also welcome to criticise mine, but try and put yourself in your mother's shoes when you start to type. How ashamed do you think she would be if she knew how quickly her son or daughter had descended into the gutter.
I have never said anything on this site that I am ashamed of, or that is any way abusive.
Clean up your act or else I will be forced to come over to HK and wash your mouths out with soap.
My point.........HKE will always be, a smelting pot of low morale and dissention, resulting in a flight department with a massive turnover and a constant battleground between management and pilots.
So far I have been close to the mark.
Over to you Omnipotent

Badapple to the gutter
Well, you guys might want to read this quickly. It seems that mentioning the truth or any logic, will get your post ERASED by the moderator. Thank you. 
Badapple with Impotent(ance), you guys are worse than us, we work here, we have a reason to bitch and moan. What about you guys. It seems like you guys need to get laid.
You say all this amazing stuff about HKE, we really don't care about you opinion, and Oh ya, come and wash our mouths out, funny part is you might be leaving your medical here though. Ha Ha.
All HKE Pilots, I want to start a list that we can all add to:
Topic what we think of Badapple and Impotent: (Let me START)
1. Queers
2. Waste of time (to put it lightly)
3. .................
Come on boys.....

Outstanding maturity
At this point I am convinced that Sparkplugs really is a good windup. As I said before, I will not wallow in the gutter with others but offer this piece of advice:
'It is better for one to remain silent and have people think that you are a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt...'
And please, spare us all the schoolyard antics.......any more childish outbursts will be dealt with by the moderators as in the past.
You have been in this part of the world for a very short time and have a long, long way to go before understanding even the basics of life and work in Asia.
I suspect that your tour will be relatively short....

Reasonable
Eco,
You mssed the point. My warnings have been directed, not to you, but to the wannabes.
As far as bitching amongst yourselves.......exactly my point.
My work here is done.
Keep your head down.......don't get involved in the politics..........fly safe
