Salary: As a captain you get something between 190K and 250K PHP A320 and ATR72 (4000 and 5000 USD)
Again, you are only quoting productivity pay (flight pay) and you are leaving out the base pay (about $3000/month).
And, you pay for everything on your own for the Journey, Hotel, food, medical, CAAP, taxi to organize everything during weeks without salary until you finally productive flying on line- that may take three month, or more.
Once you are employed you are on base salary until released to the line, at that point you will receive "productivity pay" (flight pay), so again your statement is inaccurate.
Expect around ten weeks running around
Can be done in about 4 weeks actually. Depends upon the motivation of the person doing the running around.
Once you have completed everything, all the documents and requirements you dont get a licence. You will get a temporary licence with the permission for a checkride in the sim and a linecheck. Your first flight in the company will be a linecheck.
Thereafter you may get the local licence.
Actually you get a "validated" ATPL based upon your home countries ATP. And you don't get a "line check" until the "release" flight after SLF and RQ. After 200 hours in a RP registered aircraft you are eligible for a full conversion to a CAAP ATPL.
Thereafter you may get the local licence. How you keep your loicence is your problem, dont forget you have only 14 days leave per year.
The company allocates days off for license renewal with the CAAP. If you must return to your home country for a license renewal then yes, it could be a problem.
But you can be out any day for many reason.
The word fairnes is not known in SE-Asia and as well not in some companies...
Same is true with many airlines around the world. Please name one airline that once you are employed you are guaranteed a job for life?
