We are all aware of what the Chinese carriers are paying , the money is about the same as Qantas except
- 20 days leave per year instead of 42
- are you allowed to have a sick day in China, almost limitless paid sickies at Qantas
- you will fly close to 900 hours per year, instead of Gentleman's 550 at Qantas
- working for contract company , which could go belly up anytime
- Chinese will change your contract when and how they feel
- living working in a totalitarian , overcrowded polluted state
- Few basing in Aus
- Can get canned in a sim anytime , no rights of redress
- astronaut standard medicals
- chinese pilots smoking in cockpits
- Can get canned anytime for any "cultural" slight that you were completely oblivious about
- Contracts are only for 3 years , will the same $$$ be available after that
- They will fling you as soon as they can, look at how quick SIA flung the expats
Great deal it is, where do I sign ?
Noticed Barry Jackson(former QF pilots union boss) wrote an article in the AFR today, trying to fleabag money for QF from the taxpayer yet again talking up a "Johny Foreigner" scare campaign. He is only wanting a few billion in the form of an interest free loan.
Truly parasitic conduct the QF boys want go back on the public tit.
