Yes, the '3' is not a type-o.
The time/money equation for pilots obviously drives pilot's interests toward contracts, and the total cost per hour of the pilot gets a management's focus. It is hoped that Vietjet will see the wisdom in drawing experience to the operation vs peddling jobs to the inexperienced, and a 6/3 offering with pay scaled at the same hourly cost (in the existing work force, not this new terrible offer) to the airline would be a very attractive offer I think sure to draw very much needed experienced crews.
Given the surprise of a greatly reduced pay in their offering I guess we'll just have to sit back and watch what happens. But I think it would be very smart if we had a showing of hands that would be interested in a 6/3 and could come quickly in the event Vietjet gets themselves into a terrible staffing squeeze (which sure seems predictable at this point).
