They offer a generous annual leave of 11 per year for FOs and 12 for Captains... Oh sorry, I omitted the units after the numbers. Well, it's not weeks! That's right - 11 or 12 days annual leave! Less than the number of public holidays in Thailand - which of course you wouldn't get off as a pilot anyway!

But don't worry - after 3 years service with the company (if it's still going), FOs will get 14 days leave a year and Captains 15 days.

Despite having to pay 50% of the type rating cost, they require a 5 year bond of 2,220,000 Thai Baht (US$69,000 / €50,0000 / £40,000).

Medical insurance of some sort. Bringing a family? You will need to pay for their medical cover yourself.

Their selection days are only planned a couple of weeks or so before the day with subsequent changes to the date, time and venue after the candidates have been invited and made travel plans. Successful on day one? Please hang around for a few days, we're still trying to arrange sim slots. It might be 3, 4 or 5 days after day 1. The good news is, in addition to cash, most payment cards are accepted when you pay for your medical as part of the selection process.
