Malaysia Airlines F50 jobs
Malaysia Airlines recently advertised in Flight International for F50 F/Os. I'm chasing some info on the F50 operations...eg, routes, pay, progression etc.
I remember seeing last year an announcement that the F50's were being sold, and the company was looking to replace them with regional jets by the middle of this year!? What's the deal?
Thanks in advance!

F50 flies only domestic in East Malaysia (Borneo). Bases are Kuching in Sarawak or Kota Kinabalu in Sabah. You fly to all the small towns and have around 8 destinations.
Short sectors, beautiful scenery and lots of visual flying.
Kuching is a very tidy, landlocked midsize city, whereas Kota Kinabalu is a bit charmless, but right by the sea in beautiful surroundings. If you want quiet family life go to Kuching. If you are single and want more action go to Kota Kinabalu.
Just remembered seeing an article about the fleet replacement in Saturdays local paper. Bombardier has offered the Dash 8 or regional jet, or a combination of both, to replace the F50.

I am looking at applying for a F50 command position and was wondering if anyone could fill me in on salary (malaysian ringit OK) for these expat positions that are being offered.
thanks in advance. (any other relevant conditions ie holidays, per diem etc, etc)
I know there are alot of negative comments about MAS but would appreciate more the facts than personal grievances please.
(ps: also any info on tax rates in Malaysia)

Fred,
For Captains they want 4,000 total and 1,200 hours cmd on equivalent type or greater and a salary of RM7,303-14,293/= for locals and again no idea for expats.

Malaysian Tax
You can visit the tax office on line at www.hasilnet.org.my
As a guide the tax paid per annum by an F/O on lowest rate will be 4,889 Ringgits, the tax paid by the Captain on top rate will be 33,784 Ringgits. That is using the salary figures given by Lorry_Driver.

Satumare, MAS does not practice a bidding system.
MAS cadets generally go direct 737
F-50 KCH or BKI is a great job. Good flying, good people and great fun on days off. Sailing in BKI, fishing, crabbing or just laying in bed with a beautiful East Malaysian Goddess.
As for the pay I have lost touch but I would assume the expat pay should be livable. But the job, well its too easy.
As for promotion ect. As an expat you aint going anwhere so accept it, enjoy the girls have a few cold beers and when the time is right move on to another job.
Cheers,
Wooblah.

Is it true they bumped up the FO salary on Fokker to be the same as B737 FO crew?
I better be careful what I say, this place is crawling with people trying to identify me...
It wasn't me....it was the one arm man!

Captain Wooblah,
MAS do practise Bidding via the ICMS.
MAS cadets are streamed to B737/F50 on the recommendation of MFA, depending on performance at flying school. Of course more are posted to B737
Anyway those cadets streamed to F50 as at Nov 2003 are now doing their B737 course(joining their batchboys already on B737)
