Yes, NX needs a lot of pilots. Arrowhead made the right points. Expansion planed for the coming years but don't have the numbers to fly the current size. Example, first a/c just arrived that expanded the fleet (no replacement), A320, msn 4xxx (so no more old ****), wet lease cxl for good, but cxl x3 flts a day due lack of crews.
This is not a new thing for NX. Guys come, guys go, but never have enough to keep up.
If you meet the min, which isn't hard, apply, call, hassle them! This is Macau, nothing happens quickly.
Good luck.

With those skills in direct law, they might ask you to join the training department. I have quite a few friends in Air Macau, you really need to hassle them , and don't give up.

Prety much the same, but you can opt between:
- a bank garanty of up to 30k USD for 2 to 3 years (aka frozen bank account for that much money for that much time with NX as benefitiary) or;
- you can sign a promissory note for the same amount of money and time proposed by NX, and your base pay will be decreased appropriatly for that duration (you'll get the money back at the end of the "bond" with 12 months delay)
If you have the money, its better to go with the bank garanty.
As for the min experience, TR is a must (can be with 0H on type) and TT is kind of foggy... but recently there were some applications with 1000+TT, so the more the better.
Cheers.

Oh, I should also say, if you go the frozen account route, you don't get any interest on it for as long as it is frozen ... it's like an interest free loan but repayment is guaranteed after 2 - 3 years, assuming you don't resign in the meantime.

Wow, I didn't know there're so many Macau ID holders with A320 TR waiting in line for a chance to get a spot in Air Macau... I heard recently many new non-Macau ID holders just started training with them...

Any latest news from the hiring front at Air Macau? Any hiring going on this year in 2015? Expansion news?
I'm hearing the type rating is not a hard rule any more. Any one know if they've done hiring without the 320 rating recently?
How does this new 9 week on, 3 week off schedule work? Are jump seat agreements in place for commuters on your 3 off?
Thanks for your inputs!
Cheers!

This place is a revolving door; always hiring.
Indeed TR is not a hard rule anymore but I do not follow the latest hiring situation.
Jumpseat agreement? No such thing in Asia. You get employee discount with other airlines but the number of airlines are quite limited.
The "frozen" bank account thing will give you interest if you do this:
You can do a CD with BOC as a collateral for the bank guarantee. As long as the CD is in force you will get paid interest.

What's the pay and per diem at Air Macau? I know it changes a lot but please humor me. Im looking to be making around 5.5k or more USD per month as an FO.
I'm interested because of th 9 weeks on 3 weeks off schedule and want to live in Asia. I'm not willing to PTF or train in anyway whatsoever but I'll stay at least the required training bond and longer if it's a good place to work. I take it the 9 weeks on is 1 day off per week? Are any of those agreements with airlines like Cathay or Air China that at least fly back to the USA?
Thanks for your time.

Bank guarantee is if you put bond money up front. You deposit $ in a bank, but it is frozen until the bank guarantee expires. You will be asked to set the BG for a period roughly equals to your contract. If you leave early the company take your $. When the bank guarantee expires your $ is released to you by the bank.
Or you can do it through "monthly deduction", then you do not need bank guarantee but you have to sign a note promising you will pay the bond amount (they use the term "training fee" or similar not "bond"). Technically it is not a deduction, they lower your base pay until the bond is fully paid, guys pay up front have higher base pay since they paid the "bond" up front. Give you back the $ at the end of contract.
Difference?
1. It affects your base pay therefore differences in bonus and your 13th month salary (both base on base pay) before the bond is fully paid.
2. The legal ownership of the $ before the contract completion.
3. Risk is relatively high for new guys to pay up front if they fail the training. To be fair, the company never fail people on purpose for this money.
Hope it helps.

Thank you for the explanation. I guess i am not going to the assessment. It think 5 years is pretty long to stay there. And i dont want to lose my bank deposit either. It is the first time i hear from that. Reducing my salary is also not an option because living in macau is also not cheap from what i've read. And the weather is too humid for me.
