Pilotx744, sorry to burst your bubble.
You refer to guys moving to AJV/X and getting union protection.
There is NOOOO union protection as expat crewmembers with these outfits, in fact, the contract specifically forbids ANY union activity.
Any NCA guy rushing to move to AJX/V had better have a verrrrry close look at the terms.
An AJX captain, on commencement will be on around US$9000/ month basic foir the 1st year. It will then rocket up to US$10400 pre month. Per diem =US$ 48 once training is complete. That would put him almost on par with an NCA F/O.
AJV is similar, except add US$1500 and 1 extra days off for "fatigue"
The rumours of significant pay rises in AJX/V are just that. RUMOURS. It would appear that the company is confident that the new commute deal will be enough. This brings it almost to the same level as Korean's deal and still way below many other contracts.
Guys, do your homework very carefully before making any moves
