JC Airlines Cambodia

Hi, does anyone have any information about the working conditions in this airline? The latest package seems to be as much as what the Chinese counterpart are paying.

Cost of living is somewhat different and there are local opportunities arising now with KC, Prince and others which will keep renumerations competitive I would imagine

couple friends flying there.
10000 USD is basic salary with 0 flight hours.
so if you fly 60 hours, it will be 10000+120x60=17200 USD.

you could travel on GD but not too many flights so far.

year 2 3 4 5+ basic will become 9000 10000 11000 11500
and fly pay becomes 150 USD / hr from 2nd year.

so 60 hours for 2nd year will be
9000+1500+9000= 19500 USD

The information I got was at end of 2016, so it may not be most updated. FYI

Well if is really zero flying hours and getting paid usd10k, that is definitely way better than China. But I'm sure they will not keep the pilots on the ground and not flying.

I’d be happy to be paid 10000 USD and spend all the time with my family. Unfortunately they do make u fly. Average 50-60 hours a month at this stage.

Cheap.
Depending on your taste and location, you can find nice apartments from $400 to over $1500 with inclusions such as cable, internet, parking, cleaning laundry and water.
You can spend $7/month on pre-paid top-up cards for your cell phone and surf the web all day.
You can buy a new moto for $1400 or a secondhand one for $350, or take tuk-tuks, taxis etc for a few dollars each time.
I fly here and while I may not gross what I could make elsewhere, for the amount I save each month while still having a top quality of life, it's the right place for me...for now!

Grrr JC AIRLINES

Was thinking about applying to this outfit but I am hearing a lot of bad things about them, 2 months delayed salaries and internal problems in the management. aircrafts grounded and people leaving in masses etc.

Is this company closing? Can anyone shed some light????

Ciao!!!

Our aircraft plan delayed once again, aircraft will not come shortly.
Salary start to delay a lot since July, before July, I think JC is the best in Cambodia.
Salary on paper is good, well paid on time is the best, unfortunately......

QD992,

Are you finding enough pilots to fly all your airplanes ? If so, are they more expats or local pilots ?

Be Careful with JC.

The contract on paper is FANTASTIC, but in reality not so fantastic.

Expect long salary delays (1 month+) and company has financial difficulties. This is due to a lot of corruption within the company. The airline is waiting to receive this 2 new aircrafts for the last 2 years now so I am not sure about this so called "expansion".

Aircrafts are in very good shape and you always have engineer with you.

The problem with this outfit is their mentality regarding standards and training. Its VERY different from flying with a "western" airline and don't expect any constructive training. The show is run by the taiwanese mafia over there.
I only lasted there 3 months and I had my lesson. Money is not everything. Prefer to rather work with a "logical" company where the atmosphere among the colleagues is nice, rather this "punish" style airline with WEIRD non Airbus procedures and philosophy. They even have a special dedicated webpage where all the punished personnel is published by name and rank (the Hall of Shame). The stress among flight crew is high because everyone fears they will be the next victim of punishment and grounding. Just because they give you high salary (on paper), they think they can do whatever they want with you. STAY AWAY
