Laughed my ass off when I saw this corporate BS...

Annual leave...yes, but not when you want to take it
Annual salary increase... narrow body EBA over 2 years expired and no annual adjustment mentioned for FY1718.
Staff travel...don't expect to go anywhere on holidays, plus its a rip off, VA are selling sale fares to HK cheaper then the staff travel price.
Engagement surveys...allow the managers to get their KPI's but you will never hear the results from the survey.
Study Assistance...was promised this in the interview but all applications rejected as 'we have no money'.

Not saying that any other airline is better, but have your eyes wide open.
