They can't force anyone to an FDA.

Any invites to interview go out recently? Anyone headed to interviews in June, yet?

Emails out yesterday 4 dates in mid June.

Question
 

Follow up question for ya! do you (or anyone else) know if there is a pool of pilots that have been approved for an interview (by their review board) that they pull from when they offer these dates? So theoretically, if a person has been approved to be called in, they might wait in line for a date slot to open up?

Thank you for the info!

Darn...crickets again.

Yeah, it would be tough. Second year F/O pay about 200K, with 54K housing allowance. Don't know how anyone could possibly swing it, that's starvation wages over there. Even at 300K+ Capt pay, they'd have to be living in a tent.:rolleyes:

Well, since 2nd year pay is $163 Hr it's not quite $200,000. And since HKG is in the top 10 most expensive cities in the world to live in, can you say $10 for a beer?, I don't think 163,000 a year goes as far there as say in Minot?:rolleyes::rolleyes:

Have you lived there???

Nope. Not Hong Kong, nor Minot. Would have considered Hong Kong, if it weren't for my dogs. Though I have talked to people who are making it work well in Hong Kong, enjoying the life. Can't live in a McMansion, but that's the trade off. Los Angeles and NYC are on the top 10 list too, but they don't get a stipend.

And you can still get a lot of beer at $10 a crack, though I doubt you pay that in the grocery store. Fortunately bidding an FDA is a choice, and there seem to be plenty of takers. Maybe they just drink baijiu, or tea:cool:

$10 a beer? That's true...in a bar. Everybody knows the best place to drink in Hong Kong is...any 7/11. Guinness,Heineken, Asahi cost about $1.50. The great thing is there is a 7/11 literally every 100 yards. Just keep walkin' and drinkin'....
