Air Asia X
They are recruiting A330 Captains at present - but the offer is substantially below the terms at other regional carriers hiring experienced A330 skippers. The deal does not seem to interest the A330 Captains at MAS. The guarenteed income is low (13K RM), and taxable, and on a scale with no movement for 4 years. It will not attract foreign Captains wishing to commute or base nearer to homes abroad because these are not options.Yet there is no accomodation allowance included.
Can anyone enlighten me - how do they expect to fill the vacancies coming over the next few years?
19 A330's on order!
Can they do it by internal promotion? They seem to have very few experienced A330 F/O's suitable for Command. They could possibly CCQ from the 320, but the LHS experience on both fleets will be quickly diluted.
Whats the magic answer to this dilemma?
