What kwaiyai said is true.Can jwe explain, what do you mean by \"but that doest count in this one\"?Most Thai airlines employs their own citizens. I have met a farang married with a Thai. Can\'t land a flying job there.

For a F/O the salary is around 80.000 bahts a month. If they pass 82.000 a month (or 1.000.000 bahts a year ) then the IRS comes and take 30% of the salary, so usually is not more than that.
As for the roster, around 80 hours a month, one month holiday (around that, no sure exactly) and nothing else really, staff travel and a small pension if you retire with them (around 15.000 bahts a month, but this figure could be totally wrong).
After a F/O passes the assesment he/she has to attend the Thai Airways Flight Academy where he will relearn the ATPL subjects. After passing this (around one year, I think) and depending on the experience he/she will be either a S/O in widebody (777/747, 340/330) or F/O in 737, following there after the seniority for fleet transfers and upgrades.
I used to fly in Thailand sometime ago (for a thai airline), that is why I know some of the T&C's. But, BUT, TG is a quite closed company for foreigners so what I hear and what I was told (which is what I'm writing here) could be totally mistaken/not updated/not even close to reality, so don't discard any other info you may hear.
And yes, no foreigners are allowed (an no female pilots either, even nationals
).
Sawatdeepimai na krap!

Went into Crystal Thai last week to check it out - Seems they will type rate you if youre Thai and have 1500 hrs total. 1 A320 and getting an A330....Apparantely! The girls werent too sure if they were going to take any foreigners.
Although it appears to perhaps be another "mushroom" growing in the forest... We all know what happens to them.
