When DPI first arrived on scene, they were encouraged by VNA management to cut all the benefits that Parc and RAL were providing, like paid health insurance and equal pay.

If you get anything out of this thread, it's that the contract is NOT necessarily the same at all three contract agencies, at least it has never been that way in the past.

My advice is to actually make contact with some pilots if possible, you will then get the big picture, check things like:

1. Health Insurance coverages, paid by the agency or the pilot?

2. Training pay, what activates getting off training pay, when you are cleared to the line, or is it a fixed time period?

3. They started some crap where you only get 90% pay the first year! is that still going on?

4. What about training bonds, supplied by the agency, or pilot?

5. Tax paid salary, is it in the contract?

6. Does 100% of your salary (on the contract) end up in your account! or do they charge you huge fees every month for wire transfers?

7. Does the agency have a representative in Vietnam that you can call?

I recommend that you do your homework, all agencies are not the same!
