Life in the Hong Kong FDX domicile
 

Can anyone give me some info about how the company handles our pay when based in HKG? Do they direct deposit to a bank in HKG or the US? And, since it is in US dollars what kind of conversion/transfer fees/etc are you seeing?
Also, how is our awesome rental allowance allocated? Directly to the pilot or directly to a landlord?
Also, how much do we need to pay per child for initiation fees for private school (no hazing jokes please!)
Cheers

Piggy, this is a great forum for the Fedex HKG based crews. This is where you are going to get the answers. Good luck and see you out there.

Thank you brother, I applied for permission to enter the inner sanctum of the google group..just waiting for acceptance.

I applied to join the inner sanctum also and eagerly await your invitation to join and acceptance letter.

"Thank you sir! May I have another?"

Guitar
 

What kind of guitar is on your avatar? Strat or Gibson?

There's a guitar there?

I'll give you those answers. Many of us (myself included) do NOT read that google group thing.

Pay goes wherever you want. Your US bank. A HKG bank. Or Both. In fact, you can have your pay sent place you want it. There is simply a one sheet form you fill out if you wish to have money deposited into an additional bank. I have the bulk of my pay check put into my US bank, and just enough to cover my rent put into an HKG bank. There are some exchange rate fees that you lose out on, though I have not calculated exactly how much.

The awesome 2700 a month is sent directly to you. About the 28th or so of every month, a separate deposit for 2700 shows up in my US bank.

No idea about kid stuff.

I initially did a search for babes with gibson's then later just babes with guitars. So, I'm not 100% but it looks more like a strat to me.
