Just to keep all the information(good and bad) coming for potential new joiners..........
A couple of months ago, a very close family member of a foreign pilot was taken ill. He requested time off to be there as his home country was far away from China. This was granted so off he went.
Subsequently incredibly sadly the family member passed away. The pilot stayed with his family to grieve and spent totally 1 month away from flying.
When he returned, he was told by his agent that he will not be paid for this month as he didn't fly. Not really surprising I guess as we are contractors.
Now he has just been informed though that CSA will be deducting and EXTRA 600$ a day for the 26 days he was away from flying. This is just so immoral it is really unbelievable!!!!
So the passing of a close family member will cost this pilot 35600$!!!!!!
This is all true folks no word of a lie.
Oh how we wish we knew they would interpret the contract this bizarre way before signing!!!!
What looks like a good salary will soon not be so when you step on a CSA landmine as we eventually all do.........
Cheers,
