and they will ask you money in advance to "organize" your tour in Vietnam, at list the 4kk VND for the government authorization...
that is the cost of our lives for the Big Family
it sounds like the usual expansion plan is fake, they don't need pilots but just puppets at zero cost to feed the company future gaps

I had sent in the application form about a week ago for Captain position. No reply yet. 🤔🤔🤔
Wondering why.
Could it be they are sorting the FO applications first …

I have a feeling they are buffering up their pilot requirement for their immediate future while the pilots are still cheaper and more available than normal.
Once flying resumes as it was pre covid, most full fare airlines will pay top dollar for experienced pilots. That would then be unaffordable for low cost carriers.
Thus the recruitment drive now.
My 2 cents

Also, in case someone hasn’t noticed, full fare airlines as you call them are good for 2 things: businessmen and long haul. You see where I’m going here?

Bamboo Family is well know for
LATE Salary....at last 2 month and unknow amount since policy is monthly changing
NO roster, is daily changing and for few days only
NO commuting, only chance to leave is UNPAID and waiting salaries until you come back
YOU have to pay for quarantine, transport, paperwork, license, health insurance, housing,
Crap Training, on ground and in flight with unprepared young instructors, few of them are reliable
NO support from HR department, lack of management and business plan changing day by day
Cadets are mainly from VINGROUP, pay to fly as usual practice in aviation now, trained by new instructors.
I deeply suggest you to check written condition only in a formal contract before coming in Vietnam at YOUR OWN EXPENSES
DO NOT FALL IN THIS TRAP; THEY ARE LIARS AND THEY WILL NEVER CHANGE BEHAVIOUR
BAMBOO MOTTO IS " MAYBE", you will NEVER forget that
N E V E R !!!!
