Hello,
I am pretty sure this is Capital Airlines. I have a friend there who loves it and wants to renew his contract for 2 more years. They are very short pilots and have upgraded the pay again.
Good Luck,

On Final, not quite sure of that...
1. Capital Airlines (BCJ) does not offer a Fuel Saving Bonus.
2. None of all those loyalty bonuses neither.
3. All contracts are 2 years...
Base pay is up to $14k, w/ a $24k bonus after comp 24 months.
But it could be... I'll say hi to BB for you
Take care!

Yanafrica,
Whilst i appreciate the effort you have made in copying and pasting the mins off the VNA website, my question was directed to someone WITHIN the airline who could answer my query. So do you work for VNA? That was really what im after thanks.

Sorry, slightly back off topic, but for those considering China :
1) read all the other threads about Chinese carriers regarding the advertised T&Cs and what you actually get
2) Tax for foreigners on 15K USD/month around 5K ( 30% )
3) China really cheap place to live ( unless you want something that looks and feels bigger than a shoebox )
4) Is the money worth breathing in a few packs of cigarettes a day ? ( guess it does'nt matter if you already smoke )
Yes, I and others have been burnt, and you have had fair warning.
Good luck

2 more pilots attacked in Vietnam
yesterday an Aussy and a Canadian, both A330 captains at VNA were attacked in two separate incidents. The aussy was attached by a taxi drive. The Canadian by three thugs trying to rob him at a parking garage. the canadian had surgery and current condition is unknown.
previously these vicious vietnamese put an a320 captain into hospital. beware. the vietnamese are becoming increasingly jealous of expats and have taken to using violence against them at any opportunity. the police refuse to respond which leaves the foreign expats helpless.

While I feel very sorry for those who were attacked, I think it's totally irrelevant to put the jealousy among pilots and thugs' attack together. We don't need more tension between the locals and the expats.
Vietnamese will be vietnamese. We need to get along with them if we want to work here.Vietnam is still a good place to live and work if one knows how to adapt. but some people just don't learn.

Did they take too much FUEL ?!
Seriously though everybody needs to be aware of their surroundings here....very aware.
The amount needed for a night on the town in District 1 including drinks is a month's pay for these guys.......no matter how much you smile - you are a target.

Might be going for a sim ride soon. On the A320/321
I am a First Officer.
Just wondering what one might expect during sim and line training ( if one get accepted)
