Eva / China Airlines Pay And Schedule
what pay?
Expat FO Salary/Schedule
Basic salary for 70 hrs flight time (they don't pay block time to Expats)
Tax flat 20% over salary and housing allowances.
Salary: Gross/U$D5350 - Tax(20%)/U$D1070= Net/U$D 4280
If you are based in Taipei, they will pay housing allowances
Housing= Gross/NT$37,000 - Tax(20%)/NT$7400= Net/NT$29600
U$D1=NT$31,5
HOUSING NET/U$D939
Perdim: U$D 48 per day, usually not more than 12 days per month
12 Salaries per year plus 1 bonus.
Schedule:
8 consecutives home leave days off per month
21 annual leave days per year
You can take 8 HLD + 2 ALD per month,
plus you can take the last 10 days of the month together with the
first 10 days of the next month.
There was a salary increase for the locals, it was around U$D300 for the FOs, but there wasn't for the expats.
I am not seeing an increase for us in the future.

cosmiccomet, three questions, which airline are you talking about, are you saying you only get 8 days off per month, and by "if you're in Taiwan", are you saying that there are other bases?
CAL Bases
I am talking about CAL.
CAL's bases are TPE, LAX, SFO, MIA, FRA
You can usually apply for a base out of TPE after one year and
CAL would asigned it depending of the open positions in those bases.

Is CAL the Taiwanese carrier that "prefers" their own nationals for pilot positions? I thought I heard somewhere that they're now looking to lower the expat hiring, might have been EVA.

LOL Yeah I guess it was a bit of a dumb question
That's basically 2 months on/20 days off. The housing allowance seems to be acceptable from what I remember of friends teaching in Taipei and the salary not so bad too.
Seems ok to me I must confess.

Well that depends on what you expect to be paid as pilot, and your family status.
The sallary has not been changed for expat FO in years and it is in USD which lost its value more than 30 % in 2 years
29600 NT for housing. Try finding an apt in TPE big enough for you and your family. Maybe in Nankan which is in the middle of nowhere.
International school is around 1000 USD/month per kid.
Domestic help 1000/month...
In general, the negative attitude towards expats has developed in years, so nothing will be improved in near future.
So If you are single, low on jet time, less then 25 years old (means you don't care if you are an FO for another 10 years), and looking for night life which is OK in TPE and on layovers (BKK DPS AMS etc.), than it is OK
