ET pay is daily rate + 300Cdn + IP
Travel days are unpaid, only nights on site are paid. No ET for training on time off. Training is very good. Thailand is not as peaceful as previous posts suggest. Many bases currently flying a lot more than 70 hours a month.... 61 crews in Songkhla (Thailand) regularly fly 110 in 30 days, and always 35 in 7 days.
LOL insurance is OK, pension just took a big dive when they switched vendors. New hires can expect Nigeria, as previously mentioned. Lots of new metal joining the fleet, Craig Dobbin just died so we will see how things move ahead now. Pilots are VERY close to the reured numbers to form an association to gain better representation.
Generally a good deal, not many people leaving right now but some unrest over postings (Nigeria in particular) and allocation of new type endorsements. South America is generally covered by National pilots.. Brazil, Venezuela, Equador at the moment.
Lots of variety, lots of extra cash if you want it (hardship posts and ET), good guys to work with, good flight standards dept. Cheers
