Aseanaero,
You heading off to Halim (or did you) to watch >50% of our air force fighting capability hanging around the capital for some exercises?
Also the massive forest fires in Kalimantan would be an opprotunity for waterbombing , anyone have any insight on these issues ?
Permits issue...
The DGCA may give all the paperwork you need, but intra-provincial flights have the local provincial transportation directorate asking for hideous amounts of money...
Even the DGCA is complaining about these guys!
You know Indonesia, anything that's not scheduled = opportunity to scalp for some envelopes!
Anyone got a rough idea what these latest gross income are for line Capts,TRI and TRE ?
Carrier A: line Cpts $4000 basic, $40 - $50 per hour, plus other stuff like attendance/productivity allowances, 80 - 90hrs a month, 50 guaranteed.
Carrier B: line Cpts $3700 - $4000 basic, $15 - $20 per hour. 60-100hrs, plus some other allowances.
Carrier C: line Cpt Expats $4000 inclusive of 100hrs monthly, plus some housing assistance/allowance (others here would probably help out on the details of this one).
And then there is...
Carrier D: line Cpt $3000, $10 - $25 per hour, hours >100 monthly.
Carrier E: line Cpt. $4000, $30 - 45 per hour, but <75hrs monthly (sometimes it gets down to 40hrs).
A-E are jet mainliners. Others I dunno... doesn't include NG operators...
Is there housing or schooling assistance in addition?
Someone said to me, better off going without those stuff... some carrier might use it to tie you down further with it to do the "unthinkable".
