Well may is approaching fast now.A PM received from the "Gods" of Vietnam Aviation.
The party is pretty much come to an end on the 330 and 777, they aren't renewing the capt contracts as they come up this year and the F/O's are getting the take-it-or-leave-it upgrade on the 320. The Aussie capts are all applying for jobs elsewhere at the moment. Looks like expats will be all gone from 330 within the next few months. Jurgen got sacked in November, Steve Milburn has resigned and quit so there's only a handful of guys left of 330 now anyway.
On the bright side, strong rumor is going round that Vietjet is getting 330s so if you fancy a return to paradise that might be worth investigating?
Where are you now?

Thanks for the complimentary remarks.
I was really worried about you.Thought by now maybe you got the "White paint treament" or the "Acid treatment" in Nam.
Have been reading a good book called "Confessions of an Economic Hitman"
by John Perkins.Maybe you should read it.
Was also watching Crime & Investigation and Investigation Discovery on TV down here.I now realise why you are in Nam.
From what i have heard not much longer.
So enjoy you last few beers at Bar5 and some of those other shabby establishments where you hang out.
Good Luck You BS-We know who you are.

The Mad Stork is back.
Must be a rich, full life back in Sud Afreeka, pounding beers and watching Crime Scene Investigation and other such fare. Who was this week's star, Oscar Pistorious?
Just kidding. I'm so jealous of your wonderful life that I'm thinking of heading down to your consulate to request a permanent immigrant visa. I only hope the clerk won't die of a heart attack, because I will probably be the first person to make such a request in the last 20 years.
I see you're back to your old tricks on this thread, calling fellow aviators clowns. It surely takes one to know one and your legacy as a mumbling buffoon makes you an expert.
Now put down that beer. Don't you have a King Air trip in the morning?

Well I was pretty positive about Vietjet but today once again my pay was screwed up. Vietjet shorted me $7,600 this pay period and told me I'm going to have to wait till next payday.

How is this going to work out?
Math in SE Asia seems to work differently. Vietjet is losing pilots and needing many more and so the solution is to reduce the offered pay(???)
In the news I see a firm order for 60+ new A-320's about to get signed.
(Better lower the pay more, and quickly.)
Question PPruNers:
How many of you current and qualified A-320 drivers (1000/500 hrs in seat CA/FO) would be interested in coming to Vietjet for a 6/3 roster paying an AVERAGE of $9500/month (captain pay)?

Yes, the '3' is not a type-o.
The time/money equation for pilots obviously drives pilot's interests toward contracts, and the total cost per hour of the pilot gets a management's focus. It is hoped that Vietjet will see the wisdom in drawing experience to the operation vs peddling jobs to the inexperienced, and a 6/3 offering with pay scaled at the same hourly cost (in the existing work force, not this new terrible offer) to the airline would be a very attractive offer I think sure to draw very much needed experienced crews.
Given the surprise of a greatly reduced pay in their offering I guess we'll just have to sit back and watch what happens. But I think it would be very smart if we had a showing of hands that would be interested in a 6/3 and could come quickly in the event Vietjet gets themselves into a terrible staffing squeeze (which sure seems predictable at this point).

New jobs?:
Ambitious low-cost airline VietJet has agreed to buy up to 92 Airbus (EAD.PA) jets worth about $8.6 billion between 2014 and 2022 in a move to beef up its presence in a fast-growing regional market.
Both Airbus and Vietjet said the deal included firm orders for 42 A320neo, a fuel-saving version of its best-selling jet due to enter service from 2015, as well as 14 current-generation A320s and six A321 aircraft.

Pay collapse, HAN basing, new orders and international arrangements
News of the week at Vietjet...
Item 1) The new pay offered from Vietjet is an approximately 36% reduction from current pay levels in effect.
Item 2) Without fanfare, it appears newly hired pilots are being assigned to an as yet unannounced repeat effort at crewing a Hanoi base.
Item 3) The big airplane order's deployment can be deciphered in the news item below and involves apparently a total of four separate airline entities.
