VNA is a state owned white elefant used by the short term management to get rich, there is no vision no merit no pride. airplanes are dirty, staff takes the entire galley home, including alcohol cutlery and food.
Cabin crew and pilots have to pay their way in, proficient or not.
Flight to USA not a priority, management pilots and instructors smoke in the cockpit and in the crew bunks.
(Thats why many pilots love vna)
currently no fleet can reach USA without a polar route.
the influx of indian jet airways pilots stopped the salary increase that was expected.
Interview is a walk in the park, they are just checking that you can get along with the local culture.
brokers are saying that there are skyteam tickets, its not true, its only way is with china airlines from los Angeles to taipei.
thats it. There are no improved conditions, if anything people are working longer days for the same 10.8 of eternity, plus some pop corn every quarter.
its all about the pockets of management and brokers interact with those pockets.
the only incentive is flying happy passengers who are oblivious to the inner workings...
