[spinproof]

OK after 570 posts Im not about to let this die...bump to the front!

[flyingfrogman]

What is the aircraft situation this year?
How many aircraft are coming and are some aircraft going away? In any fleet - A320 A330 or B777? Any changes in ATR fleet as well?

parc aviation in vietnam

So true.
Used to work for Vietnam Airlines 4 years, Parcīs was the best support ever.
Do trust them.

Cost of Living

What is the accommodation costs like in HoChiMinh at the moment?
Are 3-4bedroom apartments more common than houses?
Are the new ATR's ordered replacements of the older ones or expansion?

Cheers

Heard from a chap today who was laid off from ATR operator when they went bankrupt. He says Vietnam Air is not taking any more ATR pilots. Any truth to this?

[THRidle]

Don't know about the ATR, but I have been told they do not want any A330 skippers at this stage.

[jumpdrive]

still looking for more ATR skyppers
more 330 pilots joined last month
just apply & take u'r chances
they also need a lot of f/o's on the 777

vietnam

any info on the A320 Capts and FOs when the interviews will start again
whats the situation is many Aircrafts sitting on ground????

[jumpdrive]

last gossip is that they wont take more a/c this year
& so the screening has been put on hold for the 'bus

[Dream Land]

Two A330's arriving in April, interviewing for ATR continues.

[Mister]

What about the Fokker 70s, will they recruit for those?.

Regards.

[mach 84]

most needed is 777 F/O but hardly available on the free market at the moment.
A-330 will be delayed for the next coming month, 4 to come this year but if possible they will take only 2.
F-70 is pretty full, operated by vietnamese only except one hungarian captain.

[varigflier]

That's weird. Rishworth is not advertising the VAC 777 FO job anymore and neither is Parc.......

[lostcomm]

What about A320? Any news? Parc and Rishworth say April. Thanks.

Wierd Decision Making at VAC ?

Hi, I was invited to screening back in November,then advised screening was cancelled until further notice, (just as I had budgeted the airfare to CDG, visa and miscellaneous expenses )thinking I would be re-called but now that Iīll be laid off in April and really need the job I have been advised by Parc that VAC no longer wants to screen me.....mysterious mysterious.

Commuting

Hi all,

If I were to live in BKK and work for Vietnam, would I permitted to commute back to BKK on solid days off?
During your 6 weeks ON , how often are there nightstops?
The roster during the 6 weeks ON, is it set in stone ie. 5 days on 2 off?

Cheers

There is no non-reving if that's what you want to do.

Thanks v much

What he means is that you will have to pay full fare to fly back and forth from Thailand to Vietnam.

There are no reciprocal jump seat privileges with Vietnam Airlines.
