This week's jobs in CASA - www.casa.gov.au/jobs/

[cool&thegang]

Again with the 767 position?

Can anyone think of any reason why HA would have difficulty attracting suitable applicants?

Seems odd that it's been advertised so extensively over the past few weeks.

[404 Titan]

cool&thegang

For the same reason that virtually all the LCC in Asia are now finding it difficult to attract applicants. There are better options out there that pay much better and give better conditions of service. Only giving you barely enough allowances to live in a tiny hotel room weeks on end in Narita etc doesn’t cut it with most people.

[Hugh Jarse]

FULL TIME - Flying Instructors The only "full-time" applicable to this job is the amount of time you'll be required to be available on the premises.

If you consider being a sub-contractor (cover your own workers comp and super and tax) and only paid for when you fly as being "full-time", then the ad is correct in the strict sense of the word.

Give the place a miss.:yuk:

[Brenoch]

How much do H.A. pay and what are the conditions like? I noticed their homepage says "commuting allowed". Is that on your two days off per month??

[404 Titan]

That’s so they don’t have to pay you a proper housing allowance in a country that is notoriously expensive for housing. If you want to live in a hotel room and commute for the rest of your life, go for it. Personally I would rather relax in a place that is as far away from a hotel room and the inside of an aircraft cabin on my days off as possible.

[VIRGA]

Hey Jarse

don't forget the positve aspects, like getting on the list to be a marshaller for the bankrunners with all the false hope of getting a ride one day. Those guys and girls were always happy with the working conditions at 'said' place...Hmmmm! I think not.

[Transition Layer]

Not to mention $30/hr for their casual instructors :yuk:

And no money for briefings either :yuk:

And the ridiculous hours the guys work - marshalling before and after their instructing hours, sleeping in the car outside Toll in between. :yuk:

:yuk: :yuk: :yuk: :yuk:

[ovum]

Not to mention $30/hr for their casual instructors

Wouldn't that be nice (sort of)...It's actually in the low $20's at the particular place....no, I'm not kidding

[Bula]

the person at the said place might learn one day but its been the same for many years and i dont think it will change anytime soon

[Foreign Worker]

The reality of the Japanese situation cool&thegang, is that the Japs do NOT honor the contract.
The salaries, allowances, and bonuses are so far removed from those of the Jap pilots, that foreign pilots should be classified as POW's (pilots of the West?) instead of skilled labor!
Japanese pilots are strongly unionised for good reason - to protect themselves from their unscrupulous, unprincipled employers!

Combine this with the problems of not being issued a Resident Visa for Jap Land, and hence not paying tax there - or anywhere else. There have been several references to this on other forums of late that should alert pilots that they might be setting themselves up, big time, for a close encounter with the taxman.

If you are willing to accept this job, knowing full well that you will have to halve the advertised salary to allow for personal income taxation, you will then realise that it is "just another low paid job in just another Asian country". with the exception being this Asian country is one of the most expensive countries in the world, in which to live.

Until the Japs are made to tell the truth, and honor the contract, you would be well advised to give this one a very W I D E berth!

[Brenoch]

Seriously though, what are the T&C with H.A./Air Japs?
Do they put you up in a hotel or do they just drop you at Narita?
Tickets home?
Pay?
Days Off?
