I had a friend email me the following in relation to the current ANG T&C’s. It is posted to given an idea of what you would have been offered.
2015 CONTRACT
As soon as the 2015 contract came into existence it was reduced to PDF and should be freely available. Admittedly PNG Employment agencies do not have any online facility for such things, but I am guessing that "someone" would know "someone" who had a copy to pass on.
The main points of the contract are as follows:
CONTRACT PERIOD
The Contract of employment lasts for 2 years, the Contract Conditions last for 6 years
SALARY
All those employed from 2015 will be paid the “B” Scale salary.
It is paid in PNG Kina, but below figures have been converted into USD at the current rate. The USD figure will fluctuate with the value of the kina, which can be a little volatile.
Tax in PNG is quite high, so both Gross and Net have been given to give an appreciation of take home salary. I believe that ANG will be interviewing for the DH8 Classic and the F100/70 fleets.
DH8
Captain
$USD 8,428 Gross a month, $USD 5,248 a month after your tax is paid.
First Officer
$USD 3,596 Gross a month, $USD 2,446 a month after your tax is paid.
F100
Captain
$USD 11,000 Gross a month, $USD 6,740 a month after your tax is paid.
First Officer
$USD 7,638 Gross a month, $USD 4,790 a month after your tax is paid.
TRAINING BOND
(reducing pro rata over 2 years):
DH8 $AUD 25,000
F100/70 $AUD 30,000
If already endorsed you will be bonded to the value of $6,000 pro rata over 12 months.
BASING
Everyone is based in POM, although you can be domiciled elsewhere. Y Class ticketing is provided 2X a block if you are domiciled elsewhere. You travel in your own time, which if connecting flights do not fit your roster mean you will travel on your days off.
ACCOMMODATION
No-one has seen the revised housing policy, however in the past if you were POM based reasonable accommodation was provided. This was free of cost but rumour/gossip is that that may very well change once the new housing policy is released. There is a taxation and company charge that MAY be applied.
For those that are domiciled elsewhere other than POM, accommodation is provided at a large apartment complex. The 2 bedroom apartments whilst small are secure and modern with reasonable facilities (cable tv, pool, BBQ area gym, aircon etc). The finish is somewhat “shoddy” when compared to 1st world countries, but still OK.
ANG runs the individual rooms like a hotel room. You “check out” of your room and another “checks in”. Your roommate "checks out", another checks in. There is no permanent room, nor is there any permanent roommate.
You may very well “check in” late at night only to wake your roommate, who may wake you in the morning with his early start. Your roommate may be one that has a partner or child residing/overnighting in the apartment as well.
Both bedroom have their access off the loungeroom, so unless you wish to be inconsiderate, no more watching late night TV if your roommate is in bed.
The only way for privacy is to lock yourself in the room, or hope roomate overnights elsewhere.
DAYS OFF
10 days off a month. You can request these in blocks such as 1,1,1,7 or 4,1,5 or 4,2,4, etc. Remember that you will most likely travel on some of these days so they will most likely not be full days at Domicile. Domicile elsewhere is not as good as it sounds as you have to travel in own time to and from work. Single days off will obviously be spent in POM as it will be impractical to travel anywhere.
RECREATIONAL LEAVE
28 DAYS (accessible after 12 months of continuous service).
SICK LEAVE
15 days for each 12 month of service, cumulative to 3 years.
MORALE
Both the Citizen and Expat Pilot bodies are currently involved in Court Action against ANG relating to the implementation of the 2015 (present) contract.
Since this contract was introduced around 40 pilots have left. Some just walked without jobs to go to.
