I'm sure the package has been covered elsewhere but to summarize:
For type-rated FOs basic is £50000 based on 804 flying hours with any overtime hours paid at £67 + £2.80 TAFB + an annual bonus of 15% of basic (paid after 3 years backdated, thereafter annually). Also Loss of licence and private medical cover. There are no pension arrangements yet but the 15% bonus should help. Salary is paid into a HKG bank account. All will be taxed 16% by HKG but most countries have arrangements to prevent double taxation - assuming you declare it!
For non type-rated guys I believe internal discussions are still on-going re the best method of recovering the rating costs - you'll have to check at the interview.
It really is a very happy, friendly airline at the moment with the best of characters from BA, Cathay and elsewhere. Managers are some of the most approachable you'll ever meet. Promotion prospects are excellent on the back of the expected expansion.
I would highly recommend that you at least go along for the interview to see for yourself and be sure ask all the questions you want - then make your own mind up. Good Luck.

Evening !
Read on the website the req. for FO's is 3000 Hrs mostly jet; would they look at 2000 Hrs mostly jet for a SO position with the opportunity of an FO position within a year or so you reckon ?
Any info/tips much appreciated !
Cheers !

Second Aircraft collected on Saturday and authorisation from the Board to acquire 7 more by end 2007. Desperate for rated and non rated crews. Min requirement 2000 hrs with 737/757 experience. We need to have open day soon at Novotel HKG and Copthorne LGW. Will post when confirmed. additional info for HKG crews as well as LGW.
Any news by insiders?? And wether they decided to base the next crews in Oakland or HKG ?
Also, from LGW pilots, can you tell me if you always have a stby day the day before your flight?
Thanx
Xavier

Total hrs per year?
Do you mean to say that these hrs (805) are hard hrs per year? Is that on average? What about leave and days off per month? Does it take training into account? Just asking as a comparison to other contracts. Not to be critical. One more question (sorry!) Where would a guy find their contractual offers?
Thx, LC

I would kill to be with Oasis
But I am an older (very) guy, well past my sell by date, but worldwide experience. Not typed on 747.
I want a scene change, and a culture change.
I will be in HK from 5th December until 18th, so will miss the LGW dates, but would be able to see them in HK.
Any input would be apreciated.
