The rate people are leaving KA & less so CX and HK air all probably will, but you may also want to leave after you've joined, there's a FedEx operation possibly starting up apparently. I suppose it might be wise to think short term, as career airlines in HK seem to be going the way of the dodo.

thanks SMOA, Could you rate the airlines in Hk in terms of best command prospect and best money... I've not been flying for almost a year and my frozen ATPL is at stake.Understand P2 time only count for the first 750 hours.So if i don't get my hours fast i might need to take all the exams all over again.Does anyone know about extension of frozen ATPL?
It always puzzled me... does cx cadets get a frozen atpl after their training. Then how do they clock enough hours after spending 3 years as a cruise pilot? Does the cruising hours count?
Appreciatte all the feedbacks thanks.. cheers

Not to be mean or anything like that, but wich "reputable" airline can hire someone as F/O on 744 with TT of only 700 hrs ??? I must live in a very different world....
Good luck anyway, lots of jobs around!
