All rank = no housing, education, transport, YOU need to pay tax 10% on your basic pay. flight pay tax free. you get ID travel, 1 free family ticket per year on MH destination. medical,and insurance and annual 21days off
Thats why they losing pilots to Malindo, airasia, middle east and asia.
BTW interview is on your dime (hotel and airfare, and the air law exams).
I thought air asia pilots were leaving to MAS for the better benefits/pay ?
