If you fly 777 and 787 you mostly fly the dreamliner and the normal figure is 3/4 nights a month.

Thanks guys......anyone commuting to North America here? The agency told me today ET would pay the tax for you. Do they issue a letter saying they did? Would be important for my income tax...

Trimaranus,
Ok, I stand corrected. Although I may say, that some of the 787-only guys at my hotel seem to be in Addis much more than that. But I guess there are all kinds of variations.
Dustyskies,
Yes, ET will issue you a letter saying that all taxes in Ethiopia are paid

Erma, yes housing allowance solved. As to recruiting Expat A350 captains, let me check up on that. It would be news to me, but with all those planes arriving, it makes sense....be back.

Seems to be a black hole when it comes to any information about the Q400 operation at Ethiopian....yet they continually advertising for Cpts for the Q (various head hunting outfits posting ads), and now with Ethiopian recently ordering another 10 Q400s expanding their regional operations even more... they will need even more crews to operate this fleet...so does anyone out there have any insight if this is a good contract for expats or is this one to avoid ? Any feedback is appreciated.

Keld,
Contract for Q400 is the same as for 737/767, i.e Basic salary usd 7000, housing pay usd 1250 and Perdiem usd 1200. Typically 4 legs a day, sometimes challenging airports. 20on/10off. 14 days of annual vacation. I know 2 Capts on Q400 - both seem to be reasonably happy.

B737 PIC upgrade to B777
Hello everyone,
Any suggestion (chance) for a B737 PIC (7000hrs) upgrade to B777 PIC directly.
I know few years ago Qatar can give that chance from 737 to 777. But it seems impossible now.
And my friends told me if I pay B777 type rating by myself in Ethiopian,Then Ethiopian can put me on B777 for first 500 hours. Is this true? I went through all this Ethiopian infos, no body mentioned about that. Even someone rated has to pay 1,5000 for training.
Wide-body is my dream. Can any one give me any infos. How can I get there.I can get type-rating by myself.But all the airlines they request at least 500 hours or 1000 hours.
Many thanks!

Sorry, but forget that. You won't go on 777 unless you join ET with at least 500 PIC on777 . There is a seniority list here, and lots of 737/767 skippers in line, waiting for a move to 777/787

Hi MD80767 driver , I have been following up the Ethiopian infos since long. I am about to retire as 744 cpt , and was very interested in ET , but like you said , one need 500 pic and a type rating. My question , I have also 5000+ hrs on 767 ,
but that was about 12 years ago.. the type rating expired since long. Would ET be interested in me , when I validated that 767 type rating again on my own ? Still , the ‘ last ‘ flight ( not simulator ) would be 12 years ago... I approached ET thru its expat recruiters , but got the official requirements. For info , I have 16500 hrs total , of 5000+ on 767 and 8500+ on 744 as cpt. Would appreciate Your opinion , as You seem very up to date with whats the reality within the airline , as You fly for them. Any ideas? Best regards.

My commute would be to the USA and see most of the flights stop in Lome Togo? I'm really interested in going more for the adventure than anything. Market Tabloid I have previously experienced in Africa. Pompliano

Are there any 777/787 ladies and gents from the UK that can shed some light on the tax situation. Are you able to take the salary back to the UK tax free due to the dual taxation agreement? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Not a chance in hell. Minimum 500 hours PIC on 777 when testing is what you need. You can join on 737, and wait for upgrade according to the Seniority list. Thats how it works.
