Sorry Baxter ,
We are all tooo busy writing out CV's for Virgin Blue to give a **** !!!
I must advise you though , there are easier ways to get a gig with VB than via these losers. Better ask the CP , on second thought..... don't waste your time unless you enjoy good fiction from the hobbit or should i say lord of the rings

Anyone know when the Embraers leave?
How many EMB pilots have left and how many are converting to the 73?
When are their courses set for?
Thanks for any info.

Sally,
one E170 has left already the others go in the next few months "apparently", 10 of the current EMB will be leaving (out of 30), the rest will be converting to the 737 over the next 5 months or so.

Thanks Blown Seal,
Does that mean they are converting EMB pilots at the same time as taking on newbies? I know a few guys who are starting in April and wondered whether recruitment and induction courses will be ongoing for new hires at regular intervals for the rest of the summer/year?

Maybe if they didn't require experienced NG drivers to sign a A$32,000 3 year bond for an aircraft they're already type rated on, then pay garbage wages with no housing alowance ..... they might get a few more! 
Cathay and Dragon aren't finding it easy to recruit right now despite a reasonable expat package, so HKE have no chance.
And what's this about a bond? I thought they weren't legal in HK.

Heard a few rumours the other day about this mob!
They hiring S C A B S now too!
They didn't pay the refueller in HK?
They just hired quite a few Direct entry Captains from Brazil,
That must make the current FO's all warm and fuzzy inside!
So how many you original ERJ guys leaving?
Quite a BIG number I heard?
Wonder why hey?
I thought the management were all really GOOD people, especially the chief pilot.

Sorry was being a bit mis-leading there!
The CP just tells you what you want to hear then does otherwise!
So my source heard?
So with the Brazilian direct entry captains just get out the Vaseline and then bend over and take it like a MAN!

From my personal knowing, HKE CP is one of the best guy and the best pilot I have ever known. I am more then willing to work or fly with him.
Although I am not flying for them, but I believe He is doing his best for his job.
Just my personal comments.

Wrong Itjng
Whilst I accept that it is your personal opinion regarding the CP, you must not know him very well. I will not say that he doesn't work hard, in fact the opposite, however this is not the issue the crews have with him. He has a very short memory. When I joined the company (knowing his background full well) I thought the crews would have a leader who would attempt to do the right thing by them. How wrong I was. He does not stand up for his boys on ANYTHING. Also, his penchant for flying off the handle and acting like a petulant little brat is well known. However the trait which I believe leads to his lack of respect the most is his lack of integrity handling the truth.

E170LR, I honestly think your being very diplomatic. The CP is plain out a little S
T !!!! Not only does he have a short memory, but so do his two side kicks , LB and RP, that have been put in the same office cubicle so they can all find each other before the next conspiracy.
The funny part is knowing the CPs back ground from CX, thinking he would have brought some professionalism into the system, instead he has surrounded himself with scabs, flight simulator junkies as part of his go team. It amazes me how he sleeps at night, knowing that he is gonna lose another pilot yet again.
PS: ltjng, you sure ur not the FLEET MANAGER of HKE !!!!!!!!!
