Hi Everyone
I was recently in HK for my second interview for DEFO and I am happy to say I passed. We received the standard company briefings, one of which was about foreign basing pay, benefits, etc. We got a pay scale (US in my case) for FO's and Captains, but it was also explained that there is an overtime pay for credited hours over 84. Now as I understood, these are not only flight hours, but also include other calculations which the people at CX weren't too clear about. I suppose they must include duty time or time on reserve.
Could anyone shed some light on this? Basically I am trying to figure out what my realistic yearly earnings would be on the first few years as an FO on top of the basic wages that we were handed out.
Thanks
