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?

$100/hour min pay year one. Housing allowance $4500 min (currently 5026) in HK...$3500ish in CGN. $15,000 per family education allowance (per family, not kid). $10,000 seed money when you activate.
That's about it. Its not for everybody, and you won't get rich doing it. Our contract with the info is not password protected as is at fdx.pilot.org for your review.

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.

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

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.
