Contract terms
It is quiete common to breach contracts frequently in Asia.... Westeners stick to the written words. Asians bend the terms to the convenience they need. Same as in the 19th Century in Europe and North America. Working and Labour rules were simple: §1 The Boss is allways right. §2 If, under any circumstances the Boss is wrong please refer to §1. As simple as that.
As a Contract pilot you are a tool to work your hours off and the local Pilots often see you as a competitor. The fact is Asia traffic is growing and the lack of educating pilots in time catch them up now. That means the shortage is there and the cockpits needs pilots to fly them. Until today you cannot clone them. So you need to pay serious bucks to have them in your outfit. If you are not happy where you are: Pack your stuff and go somewhere else. Enough options available on the market. A320, A330, B737, B744, B767, B777 drivers have options. Even the Turboprop maket is getting tight. GA and Cooperate flying is getting the shortage of qualified pilots soon. They all need to react and then the time of the retired Airline Guys with a pension into the account and less money into the pocket then currently a 320/737 driver gets offered from a Agent to work under contract.
Whatever step you chose do it as long as the opportunities are there....
Good luck NG
