CAL Retirement Fund
While were discussing financial matters of CAL:
Something to be clearup about the China Airlines contract for those considering direct entry pilot positions;
Beware China Airlines may state in your contract you receive 2 months / yr retirement fund.
This needs clarifying: unless you CONTINUOSLY work for CAL until you turn 55yrs AND have completed 15 years of service (or turned 60yr) you will not receive any retirement fund.
Govt legislature enshrines this and amendments to govt retirement policy next year will not change things considerably.
In otherwords if your young and leave the company after your 5 year contract, the contractually promised retirement fund (2mth/yr) will not be.

What about east of the Rocks?
Waytan;
You say you have good time, what about Westjet? You're Cdn and have 4000 hrs.
All new gear and realistically, you could be 22 -24 months from date of hire to the left seat of a glass ship. Its not just regional flying anymore, we're flying to 8 countries now, ETOPS is on the way, and you can expect to see HNL and LGW in the next couple of years.
Don't listen to what the bad guys say about our pay, we do just fine thank you very much. Most importantly we've made a profit every quarter since 1996, the pay goes in the bank on time.

Back to the subject of training bond. Since there seem to be quite a few resignations prior to the contract completion both at Chaina Airline and EVA, did these guys just ran from having to pay the bond? I've heard that the training bond is only enforcable in Taiwan, could someone please confirm this? Of course, by doing this, you won't be able to accept future employment back in this country.

Yea but Asia is a great place for young single pilots who want to make some money and get some jet time. If I had to go to Taiwan (and I plan to), I'd take Eva Air over China Airlines. Way better airline!
Oh and I believe the minimum contract is 3 years for F/O and 5 years for Captain and within those year you pretty much have the money for your endorsement subtracted. Should you leave before your contract expires you just pay the remining oweing.
