CSA

I am current 330 captain last 12 months CSA...

screening... Tough to get in... Think of great wall of china.. Hard to get over , great on the other side...

Once thru... Job... Excellent... Just finishing 10 days straight off at home before a week trip to GZ - CDG and back to MELB ( home)

Generally, about half month at home in bits and pieces... Some times trips as short as up in the morning, back the next night... Some times ten days away especially in sim months... We are working on that ...

money, great... Tax free in OZ ( will be different other places) ..

Staff travel .. Limited... not as good as EK by a long way... But then you cant get on EK they are so full!

Other guys you fly with ... All pretty friendly... Inexperienced FOs but so what?

four pilot crews for 7:30 flight GZ- PER... So sleep half the time of the 80 hour month anyway!!

A bit of annual leave , sick leave , easy work.

Management take you to lunch, dinner etc .. You,get ISSUED sunglasses...( not great quality but hey, never had that before!!)...

good luck with the screening...

See you up there..
