Saw a guy on beach hold a cigar up to it. . . .didn't hang around to see if it caught fire , or was merely singed ;) guess he wasn't impressed by it then :=

A few questions....
 

1. How many pilots now on the 787 fleet and how many expected over the next year?


2. Are the Virgin Atlantic pilots still providing "long haul guidance" with instructor pilots:


Newsdesk - Norwegian


3. Also, is the main pilot domicile now Bangkok or Singapore? What's the status on pilot domiciles?

There was a course in Jan, Feb,Mar and April for the next four aircraft....next courses later in the year. I was looking at this seriously but struggling for quality information as there are very few people posting here who work for the company.

Eventually got access to several guys (in all three seats) and it seems to depend on what you are looking for. The upside is you get to fly a shiny new 787....and get lots of time off when it goes tech. The downsides are that the Bangkok base plan has a number of issues.

The main two being
- This is not going to be a tax free gig.
- They cannot support the block of eight days off....this is a major concern for several of those I spoke to who saw this as one of the major benefits of the contract. That said some of the younger guys are not fussed about the second issue and seem quite happy to be spending their time off wherever they are rostered (apart from Oslo...damn cold & expensive).

Didn't want to look at China but Tax free $180,000 a year has to be the way ahead. That said go into that with your eyes open as the Chinese have their own way of doing things.

People work for Qatar Airways because they have to and not because they want to. We are all aware of what they are offering and for many, it is at the back of ones mind as the last resort if all else fails.

Taxes at Norwegian Long Haul.
 

I have been offered a job at NLH to start later this year, can anybody out there who currently works for them, explain how I would meet the tax compliance requirements of the contract.

Can I set up a company and pay taxes in my tax jurisdiction? or do I have to pay tax on a personal income tax basis in my tax jurisdiction?

Any useful information would be greatly appreciated.

NGDRIVER, read what is stated earlier in this thread about taxes.

You pay your own taxes. Set up a company not accepted, but personal income basis.

You pay taxes where you reside. No taxes in Singapore or Thailand (unless you live there of course).

If you live in Scandinavia you pay a lot of taxes :{

Hello, I've looked through this thread and I'm wondering if anyone in the UK took the job,if so what's the situation with the tax? How is the roster? And what kind of money are we talking about after tax paid (here?thai?), I've been looking at this opportunity for a while and have applied,but would like to know a bit more before I get too excited!

I'm currently a uk based captain,6500 hrs and looking at the relief captain role as I don't have 500hrs wide body experience.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Any thoughts on Norwegians' attempt to circumvent tax laws? US airlines and unions are united against NLH efforts to obtain flight permits. I would think it would be the same for European pilot unions?
