HKA A320
Hi All,
I just went through the process and thought took a while to finally get to the actual interview it was a good experience in the end. I found that some of my research ended up being inaccurate. I spoke with friends that are there and they have recently had some management changes and the processes are not what I was told. I was told that the process was very easy and anyone can get through - NOT the case. Here are some pointers and some notes from my experience.
Hong Kong Airlines is growing and working at creating a strong image and the interview process shows it. The whole atmosphere is relatively relaxed but don't bother showing up unless you are dressed for the interview. It is not a Levi's affair! I heard one pilot was discounted because of a less than sterling appearance. Want the job? - sell yourself.
The interview itself was open and friendly, but professional. They discussed my background and experience (as it is
) and a couple of 'technical' questions. Beyond that it was typical interview scenarios - "why should we hire you?"
Was sent for a medical exam - typical Class I type, an English language 'test', a written technical test and the simulator ride. The sim ride was straightforward and close to what they sent me for a sequence. I was told that they are not looking for perfection but a high level of airmanship and handling especially if not 320 rated. I just got my A320 recently so it was not a new experience. I was in the seat for maybe 30 minutes or so.
For those that like to crunch percentages - On the day I interviewed there were 10 of us and 6 were allowed to go beyond the interview and to the simulator etc. - the others were sent home. I don't know what the results ended up being for the 6 of us that finished the entire process.
Good luck!!

Do you guys know if that (4-5 months) is standard waiting time for them to get back? I'm 320 rated and current TRI.
I sent cv/cover letter to their recruitment email address, should I try to follow up with phone call or just wait and see? I did not get any reply back from them on my cv.

Hong Kong Airlines/Express Hiring!
HKA and HKE advertised that they are hiring Capts and FO's into all fleets!
I applied and was sent an application to complete which I already sent it back. They told me to contact them after 21 days if I didn't hear anything. Is this normal and should I follow up with a phone call or simply an email?
Does anyone have more info on the recruitment, selection process and how many pilots they plan on hiring?

I ve also sent back the application form and told to call them if no response within 21 days ,,
I sent them 2 emails to check my application status but no response received.
I also tried the Tel no. in their web site,, no one picks up the call.
I applied for the 737-800 F/O position.
