Peach Aviation...
Hi all - quick question. Has anybody checked or has anybody got experience with the tax situation at Peach ? The salary is ok before tax but if one has to pay 40% Tax it does not look so good.

Was just looking at an earlier post where it advised it took 4 to 5 months to complete the course. From what I have heard it could take up to 8 months from start to final JCAB Line Check, assuming an ATPL Line Check is required and passing everything first time with no extra Line Training required to meet the standard.
Secondly looking at the contract posted on the CREW web site. The calculation is based on stick hours of 70 hours a month. Is that the norm? How many hours does one normally fly per year as an ordinary Line Captain?
What are the options of becoming an instructor if one is not Japanese and how long would it take to achieve this if it were possible?

Could somebody shed some lights on Peach Aviation?
I’ve checked updated contract but still not that much clear on it. It would be very appreciated if someone could share any information especially regarding net salary, taxation, consecutive off days per month, typical roster pattern.
Many thanks previously!

Flycold,
Unfortunately their is nothing typical about the contract. Salary is tied to flight time credits. Credits are accrued in addition to actual flight time for things like sim duty, recurrent ground schools, reserve duty etc. so it’s a matter of doing the maths based on the contract summary. Any month you take some vacation in addition to normal days off means your flight time credits will be low. Anyway take about 30-35% off for tax and that is your net. 70-80 hours would be a “standard” month. Commuters can take a block of 10 days each month, with 24 days annual leave that can be requested in addition during the year. When you are working expect 6 days on and 1 days off. Back to back 10 days ( over two months) can be requested but not guaranteed, That’s about it.

I think taxation is lowering salary too much.
Then during training period NET salary is around 6100USD.
(assume 8800USD - 30% income tax) is it correct?
And how about housing allowances after line check?
My T&Cs doesn’t mention about any housing support after line check.
Many thanks again!
Cheers!

Tax in the first year or two is actually a little less than 30-35%. I won’t try and explain why. It’s complicated! Maybe 20-25% during training.
No housing allowance.

So all these agencies throwing the Peach contract around, and with the standard example showing 1,420,000 JPY for a typical month ... that's BEFORE tax? Have to subtract a third of it for nett in the hand? Surely not

We know Peach does’t pay much, maybe it is regular payment same as japanese that btw helps expat be less discriminated.
I read the discrimination for foreign pilots in Japan is not a small issue, unless in Jetstar airways in Tokyo.
I would like to know if it is the same issue in Osaka with Peach aviation.

Any feedback for roster for expats or/and locals? Do you come back to KIX Osaka every day?
I am really tired of being away from home long time......
Btw, I am a Nihon Jin working for a Japanese airline.
Thank you very much for your feedback.
