If you are 321 CAP, you need to deal with the agent, insisting on HCM base, otherwise dont sign the contract. It is possible you will get it.
If you are 321 FO, not sure it works or not.

BW2000
For what it is worth, BW2000 is fairly accurate.
For the FOs, there is a pay to fly scheme coming, which, should help accelerate salaries lower.
For Capts, some agencies are advertising 350/787 within 6 months, maybe a few expats already on widebodies will see that. But with 25 more A321 coming, doubt it will be as advertised, not saying there won't be opportunities, but highly doubt it will be so quick.

B&W
Although B&W post is quite accurate, I do believe he is based in HCM. Hanoi, as far as I've seen, offers a better quality of life than HCM. Obviously if you're into partying and girls, this is not the place to be, but on the other hand it is not as loud and caotic. Hanoi, in my experience has a much more calm rythm of life. You can actually go for a walk in downtown and enjoy it and there are several areas where you can live and make the most of it. You don't have as many changes in the roster as the guys down in HCM, the ride to the airport, if you live in Ciputra or Tay Ho is around 20-25 minutes without to worry about any traffic jams, also you don't have to deal with daily +TSRA or heavy ATC traffic everyday... ;-)
Yes, we do fly constantly, but hey, who has a dream roster nowdays? I brought my family to live with me and I'm glad to be at home almost every day.
Becoming an expat will always require an effort to cope with the culture you are new into, that my friend, applies to any country you decide to go. Things WILL be different and you have to be aware of that, if you're not prepare to do so, stay at home. Local guys do have different customs, but I can assure you that if you're mind set you will have no problem dealing with this.
If you don't want to deal with agencies, try out a direct application to Jetstar or Vietjet, which have a bigger expat workforce and also offer command opportunities.
Hope it helps... ;-)

Vietnam is classified as Category 2 from the US FAA regarding safety issues. This means (and I stand to be corrected) they can not start any new services to the US. If they already flew there, they could continue flying but could not add new destinations.
I would think…. with the big purchase of 19 B787's that this situation was discussed while the VIP's were in the US recently to take delivery of the first 787, and it will be interesting to see if anything comes of it. Seems to me there would be quite a market to say LAX and/or SFO. I know in the LA area (Orange County) there is a very large and thriving Vietnamese community. My guess is the demand would be there.
Time will tell…

And one last thing, keep this in mind please, because you are probably thinking about getting a fast command and leave! You pay for the upgrade by yourself, but still it is possible to fail the upgrade, and you can not get your money back! Keep this in mind please, this is serious! It is not "I am paying for it, so you will let me pass" training. In 2014, at least 2 expat FO fail the 321 upgrade trining.

Hi guys
Anybody can shed some light how can I apply for pilots position in according to this link
Flight Crew Recruitment | Vietnam Airlines
I tryed to send some letters to two mail adresses,from this link,but all letters were returned back to me "due to wrong adress".
Is there other way to apply for F/O position for VNA.(Richworth doesn't have such offers for A-320fleet)
Anybody have faced with such situation?
Many thanks
Safe flights

Hi guys,
strongly considering VNA as DEC A320 mainly for the commuting roster. Have been flying in the Gulf region now for nearly 10 years and looking forward to commute with Europe which is impossible from where I am. The question is : are they offering any 4x4 patterns ? Don't mind the base, I'm looking for time off. Could eventually make a 4x2 or 5x3 but aim is the 4x4.
Any advice/input appreciated
Cheers.
