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

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.

So pay

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....

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

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

-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.

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.

...new airplanes

...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?

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.

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!

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.

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....
