Dunno why anyone would want to flog their guts out as a Captain flying Pixies Fokkers for the princely sum of 372,237 Png Peso's. The horrendous tax you pay to the PNG tax man makes that a mind blowing $1,750 Aussie shekels week. No super with that either, just the insulting salary. And a 1.7% salary increase to salary on your anniversary date...whoopty f....doo, ....after tax less than 1%, just enough to buy one SP at Jacksons Bar to drown your sorrows each night for taking the plunge

As for the IAC advertised 18 days per roster with 10 calendar days off per 28 days, might be true but you wont get the 10 off in a row...at least 2 will be in POM to fit in the Flt and Duty times and travel will eat into the rest.

And signing before the appeals court ruling on the contract is given out is crazy....see yourself agreeing to a horrible B scale contract and get locked out of any chance of a return to something sensible.

"There will be Fokker Ground Schools every month for 2018." pffft ..they need numbers like that just to replenish, and who says they will have someone there on the day.

If this mob want to get the airline back on track they need to at least fix the terms & conditions, but seeing the country is in the financial toilet that wont happen any time soon. Any spare money???? (and then some) will have to be in the training bucket just to recover some of 125 pilots that have left since 2015.
