I'm supposed to be interviewing with them any day now, just waiting for my phone call/email to let me know.

KA is extremely bigoted when it comes to hiring; typically they don't hire US pilots. They have always been able to attract enough Aussies/Canucks and Brits to satisfy their requirements. Added to which they've always had a relatively small pilot group and you really have to know someone. My "in" is one of the Fleet Managers.

They were bought by CX last year and from what I can gather they're in a state of flux as far as hiring is concerned. The 74's have been transfered over to CX and I think people are waiting to see what CX does with the Airbus fleet.

They look for at least 4000TT, a large amount of jet time and a type rating. If you want to stand any chance of an interview, you'll have to go and meet the peeps in HR, in Hong Kong. It makes a huge difference if you actually make the effort to go and see them.
