Australia or Europe
Hi,
I've been offered a position and pls can I have some info on the pro's and con's of Europe base V Australia base. I have heard that the tax man will get me in Australia making the pay utterely miserable. Love some feedback. In addition, what is the rostering like in each country and which aircraft would I expect to fly, say if flying from Paris or flying from Melbourne. Would I be at home more with my family in one base or the other?
Look forward to hearing from you all!

Wrong forum dude or dudet. I suggest you repost on Dunnunda & Godzone. Also before you repost I suggest you be a little more specific, i.e. which airline in Aus etc.

In which case she needs to say that. If indeed she has been offered a base in Melbourne on the freighter then she needs to know she’ll need to be a resident of Aus as CX won’t sponsor her there. Does she have the right to live in Aus?

Perhaps SYD or AMS on the 'bus? Still need to be an Aus resident for the SYD base tho'.
Don't see why the European tax man will be any nicer than the ATO can you? Can't imagine either of them know their fathers...
404 - no further Oz basings on the freighter. The classic base closes in June, and there are no plans to put a -400F base there at this time.

She's in the garage fixing her car, dude....
Yes, silly detail really, talking about CX.
So after all that delightfully entertaining guff do they need freighter pilots in Aus or not?
Also it goes without question that I'm a dual citizen of Aus and Europe.

the only freighter pilots in Aus are on the Classic and I'm pretty sure there are no vacancies, however why not phone the nice people in Flight Deck recruitment and they can give you something this forum can't FACTS......
anyway, what you cooking ???
(If you are fixing the car you can always give me a tune up when you've finished OK)

I'm cooking up a storm... I'd love to tune your car but having my bikini waxed later...no time.
As for information on conditions in Europe... anyone with any details on freighter rosters, base availability, type etc...

Why does your bikini need waxing? Weird. Never had to do that to my swimmers.
No freighter posts in Oz Jane, they are closing the classic base soon. There are however plenty of DEFO slots on the 'bus. Details are on the CX site. You could take either a SYD or an AMS base if you wish - should you wish to live in Europe (
). Hope that's finally some help.

Sorry, didn't make that clear. AMS is the base for DEFO on the pax fleet, Paris is one of the European freighter bases (the others being FRA, LHR, and MAN). Both Pax and freighter bases are available, depends if you want to join the Airbus fleet on the passenger terms and conditions or the freighter, on theirs.
For further information, Paris used to be a classic base but it is about to go -400 I think, but I'll possibly be corrected on that one.

Mini Cooper! Thank you for so much information! I really appreciate it. It's hard when your life is about to change and you don't have any tangible info to base decisions on. You've been a great help.

since when did hong kong tax drop to 10% ??? you'll pay 16% hong kong tax, however depending on your DOJ you won't get a bill for 18-24 months...................UK Taxman is talking to CX at the moment thanks to the 49'r court case and they may well have to introduce PAYE in the next 2 years. France is apparently ok as long as you show them you are paying HK tax ...............................
Basing may well not be your choice ....................anyway the first 4-5 months will be in Hong Kong................enjoy the stay at the Headland and the CX Checking system..........................
