Just got the contract for NTR 330 FO from OAE. Conditions look pretty weak next to other asian contracts!
Monthly 5000-5800USD (before 18% tax) for 75 hours
Housing allowance and a yearly bonus (as much as one month basic)
The worst parts:
1. theres a 13000 USD bond and the contract says 8 days off per month (with possible 6 days when needed!!!!)
2. 5 days sick leave per year
3. No leave for first 10 months, then 2 days every month leave.
4. after 18 months you are entitled to 1 international round trip ticket!!!
Honestly guys don't accept these terms. You're better off heading to the ME3, then moving your life to Taiwan with these conditions. I mean the cherry on the cake was 6 days OFF per month...let alone an office worker gets 8 days off per month but a pilot doesn't?
They either need to increase the pay, remove the bond or make it a commuting contract, because its far from a commuting contract, when you've got Korea and Japan offering greater contracts. Plus Taipei is not that cheap, trust me I lived there for a while before.
