Guys,
Received a call from the lady at Voz whilst on my block days off.
It was a fishing call. Wanted to confirm what position I was applying for (Senior F/O), she stated the position was to be based in SYD. Then went on to ask what jet types and time I have (5000TT with 2000+widebody jet FO time and 600ME Command).
Then came the topic of renummeration: She was very light on info, prefering to hear what T & C's I am currently on.
In short, I declined to progress the application further due mainly to the very quick number crunch over taxation.
In addition, I stated that it was an insult to require crews, with the experience that they require, to pay for training. I answered NO in the online application.
She then thanked me for my honesty?!?!?!?......go figure
