Air Pacific/Fiji Airways
What XAA does Fiji Airlines operate under. Ie who issues their AOC?
It sounds to me that it must fly close to the wind legally if you have five days a month off and three are consecutive. Would that not have you working seven days straight at one point?

What is it with airlines, just what don't they get about "happy employees make a happy company".

The Regs are fine. They work for the geography of the islands. Only did 1250 hours in 2 and a half years. The problem is the commuting option has been eroded to zero for many of the
expats.

They do.
Guess who asked me for a full and frank analysis and report? Their Regulator.
Watch what happens when the incompetents in office positions try to dictate.

Well I hope you give it to them straight.
The email I recieved stated
That statement alone would have the Australian or NZ regulators looking very very closely at whether they should be continuing to operate in the immediate future.
The email I recieved stated
Please note: The airline are currently looking for pilots who are flexible with their time as a fixed roster is not currently operational.

Be assured, after the way I was treated......
I SHALL BE GIVING IT TO THEM STRAIGHT.
I am a nice guy until someone tries to dick me or my family. Barley, Killick, the management team and Stefan, CEO will regret this.

Finally it's come home to roost! Bravo
My dealings with these turkeys last year were nothing short of appalling.
They really are playing in the shallow end and the rot started from the top, beginning a long time ago but getting no better.

The "tax paid" salary
Can anyone here tell me how the NZ IRD view the salary in terms of the tax they want to take. I know there is a bit to pay but am concerned the whole 14500k is taxable.
I know there is dual tax agreement and Rishworth say the salary is paid net of Fijian tax but I'm not entirely sure that means you pay Fijian tax, rather that it is paid tax free to a non resident worker.
Anyone commuting from NZ I would greatly appreciate knowing how it works in reality. For the Oz guys I know it's different as your tax status is viewed quite differently to NZ.

Paradise ??
Gents/Ladies (but you will NOT be employed ?)
Its rather simple- ask yourself -- WHY have so many Local Fijians left the 'job in paradise'??
- Roster ?
- Mgt/Employee relations ??
- Money ??
- Back stabbing atmosphere between pilot groups ???
Contractors:
- YOU WILL get
-- All the BOC flts (thats what happened 10yrs ago)
-- Minimal (if any) Night stops in HNL - thats if they still do but with no YVR flts this may be a Hvy crew return ie. 2x 6:30 sectors !!!!!!!!!!!
-- after a few months you too will be updating your CV and arranging interviews.
CIAO.
P.S. I went for an interview but after a 'Pork Chop' at the bar and breakfast with contractors at the Tanoa, 'Paradise' was not looking so glorious.

The change in the rostering policy meant, like many others, I could no longer stay working there. I could not go home. So I gave them the chance to reinstate the previous policy or I would engineer it so they would have to get rid of me.
Fortunately I have a proper EASA ATPL and a FAA one. I have worked all over the planet and have lots of experience. I am guessing you have just a Fiji licence, have only worked in that little cocoon environment and would flounder out there in the real flying world.

Hi Troppo
Just to bring this back to the top, there is another distinction between you and I. I do not hide behind a username. You are just petty and cowardly. Seems you have all the attributes to be in FJ management. Good luck with the upcoming audit.
