V Australia-Tell me it aint true! (Merged Thread)

[Tidbinbilla]

As this thread now appears to be a tems & conditions Q&A it has been moved to D&G Questions.

TID:)

[Jet Man]

Heard yesterday that crews are already training in Singapore. From what I have read here they would be check/training?

[Oakape]

Moving this thread seems to have killed it stone cold dead!

Tidbinbilla

Please return this thread to D & G Reporting Points where it was more active. There was a lot of interest and information in the posts.

It has died since you moved it.

Being interviewed for Cruise FO, company told me pay was 45-60K, all inclusive (whatever that means). Where you end up in that bracket depends on individual experience. Where did 93K come from? Makes a big difference....

[Easy Ryder]

I'll second moving the thread back.... seems to have died a death :{

[Bluebaron]

I've started a new thread just for interview points here:

[Howard Hughes]

Pay for cruise pilot's.
Initial phone contact 73k-81k inclusive of super.

At inteview 45k-60k! Training wage 80% of that!:eek:

-45k for CPL holders.
-60k for ATPL holders.

Final approval has not yet been given by the board on the pay structure, so this may change, hopefully for the better.

[fumes]

Thanks HH. On par with my info. The training wage is news to me though. The figures are awefully a lot like QF.

[Howard Hughes]

The figures are awefully a lot like QF.
My mates at QF are on considerably better than that! :{

[MAX]

Training Wage!!! For 777 drivers?:mad:

Will they never stop taking the bloody p!ss??:mad:

MAX:cool:

What a joke if you are expected to attend an interview, yet they have not even finalised a renumeration package to offer you. Imagine the public booking a seat to LA and giving their credit card details yet not knowing what the ticket might cost them. Talk about horse and cart. A joke.

How the hell could you even consider deciding on a job with VA if you don't know what you are going to be getting paid.

[VONKLUFFEN]

...come with a number of type rating trainings included ( depends on the deal with Boeing or Airbus )
Anyway, if there is a bond deducted from pay (as stated in the application ) those who have attended the interview know if this money will be refunded after, lets say 2 or 3 years, when you have "paid" for it with hard and productive work? Some airlines do it this way to prevent drives from leaving before a number of years.
What else, besides money, can you tell about the interview?

[VONKLUFFEN]

....this is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO quiet lately:confused:

[Howard Hughes]

I think the thread took a hort holiday to another forum...;)

[intake]

Ok so the capt/fo invites are out. Nobody keen to comment on the terms/conditions! No pilot shortage if they still require you to obtain a rating. :=

[Capt Coco]

Ok I'll comment......it needs to more! ok ok more please:{

[Howard Hughes]

I am interested to hear the final offer for Captain's and F/O's, if the cruise F/O offer is anything to go by, I wonder how many they will get!

[jetblues]

The final offer will be whatever is required to discourage the VB mainline drivers from wanting to move. Then VA and VB's crewing problems are solved.

What a s@*t industry we all work in.

[intake]

Jetbules how wrong you are! VB guys/gals not required to pay for type rating if transferring. All non typed off the street will pay full cost after training or salary sacrifice over 18 months. All other T/C's as whats already been talked about on this thread. V OZ must think we are all F*&^%n desperate for a job....:=

[Break Right]

Intake

What Jetbues is say is that why would any VB 737 Captain want to take a paycut to fly a 777. This is exactly what VB management is hoping we all think.:eek: And most will stay put.:ugh:

[Asianlonghaul]

It looks as if it is still not possible to apply on line to V Oz! Are they going to Dubai to interview if so any ideas on how I can sneak in for an interview then?
Cheers

[Howard Hughes]

All non typed off the street will pay full cost after training or salary sacrifice over 18 months.
WRONG! There is a 3 year bond...:ooh:

Couldn't afford to sacrifice anyway from the wages on offer!;)

[Stationair8]

In V Australia do you get to wear that disgusting ****ty brown uniform like the Virgin Blue pilots?

[flyer_18-737]

At LEAST at Virgin there is no crap ties or Hats!

[intake]

Howard Hughes, the contract in front of me has no mention of 3 year bond, only pay for training in full or salary sacrifice (18 months) You been told otherwise (not from a mate of a mate)? :rolleyes:

[Howard Hughes]

I was told at an interview, mind you several of the conditions on offer have already changed a number of times, if you have it in writing, then perhaps that is the 'final offer'!:rolleyes:

[Poto]

At LEAST at Virgin there is no crap ties or Hats!

for good terms and conditions I will wear a clown suit if thats what they want. I am not sure how much a tie/jacket/hat with scrambled eggs on the peak is worth to you? To me, not wearing them is not a very good replacement for crappy T & C's.:=

[KRUSTY 34]

Some people are easily pleased Poto.

Probably part of the problem!
