Glorietta (India) – Citilink Code broken
This is for the benefit of all the First officers (with experience on A320 type)based in India looking at employment with Citilink:
1)Employment contract directly with Citilink, however all dealings for firming up the contract to be done via an India (New Delhi) based consultant called Glorietta.
2)24months contract with no guarantee of renewal and salary will be paid in Indonesian Rupiah.
3)Emoluments calculated in USD at current rates:
a)Base Salary: USD 2300 per month.
b)Flight Allowance: USD 31 per hour.
c)Joining Bonus (One Time): USD 7300, however if you divide this amount by 24 (the tenure of the contract) it comes to USD 305 per month.
d)End of Contract Bonus (One Time): USD 4300, however if you divide this amount by 24 (the tenure of the contract) it comes to USD 180 per month.
e)Only Verbal Guarantee on 80 to 100 flying hours per month.
f)Hence to sum it up if the Joining Bonus and the End of Contract Bonus is added to the Base Salary, the Base Salary will work out to be USD 3000, rest is all linked to flying hours the first officer will fly in a given month.
4)Apart from the agreement with Citilink, a separate agreement to be signed with Glorietta. 50% of the Joining Bonus to be paid back to Glorietta. Also, they will use your name for their business promotion activities till the time you are alive. In return what you get from Glorietta, the answer is nothing. (No DGCA coordination, no accommodation, no transport….all this is promised to being with). What you get from Glorietta in return, for signing an agreement with them is a sugar coated confectionary which will leave a sickening taste in your mouth.
Free Suggestion for First Officers: Do not waste your time!! 
Good Bet for Indian CPL Holders with Zero A320 hours, however be very careful while dealing with the above mentioned consultant.
