@jj696, what I know, is those pliots are not malaysian, but indonesian pilots who used to fly for firefly. there's a c to c agreement, and it already created jealousy problem within the company.. And they did not receive any sign on fee (normally around 25-80k usd)..cmiiw.
back in jakarta, Lion's medical benefit is 1million rupiah (usd110) per month, per pilot, to be shared with their loved ones...
once a year is reliogion allowance for hari raya. ALLL company in indonesia must pay one month sallary to their employee. IAA, GA, etc..
pay that too. Never heard lion give real bonus beside hariraya, unlike Air Asia or Garuda...except that 150mill rupiah every 5 years, to be bonded for next 5 yrs.. if the pilot accept the money..
But, hey..it's in Indonesia..not in Malaysia.. Probably they will be treated differently.
Cheap Lion ticket? how many people should you call to get it discounted?
and it's definetely not cheaper than AirAsia id90..;-)
Try to use your free coupon to Beijing, Goldcoast, Incheon...wait..Lion doesn't fly there...sorry..it's domestic only...;-)
Can it be used for your parents or friends? sorry, can't do..
Again...it maybe different with Malindo.
Jumpship is soooo normal in this cruel aviationworld.....:-)
