Bamboo Airways T&C
I heard that they don’t even consider the ATR42 and ATR72 as common types either.

Anyone seriously considering applying to a company which:
1. Still owes outstanding salaries to both it's current and former pilots
2. Not paying nearly enough to get by to it's current pilots and in some cases even nothing to those who got stuck outside Vietnam due to covid restrictions
3. Expecting you to finance your own flight ticket, visa application, covid testing, quarantine hotel, other fees and expenses, etc.
Just asking for a "friend"...

Things will improve and maybe Bamboo will lose Pilots in the future but that's several years away.

Latest news is that Bamboo will pay quarantine and air tickets.
Average salary is 6k usd at the moment. Flying 30-40h. That means when things start moving expecetd salary would be around 10k.
If you know a better option please share unless you prefer moarning on pprune instead of flying.

hanks for the update. I also heard that they will cover your accommodation is that true?
Btw the guys who are flying there say the unpaid salary issue has been resolved. Can anyone confirm?
I heard they are in a lockdown right now in Vietnam.

Accommodation is not covered. I can't say about the rest as I don't have that information.

I wonder how the guys are surviving there with this kind of a pay package?

The tax is not really 35% (deduction on the gross of $478/month and $191 per dep). It works with brackets:
$217 taxed at 5%
$217 at 10%
$348 at 15%
$608 at 20%
$869 at 25%
$1,217 at 30%
Above $3,476 at 35%
The good new is that it's not likely that you will reach the middle bracket these times: Salaries are indexed on flight hours.
As it is now the cap from CAAV on airlines flights is as this: Vietnam Airlines can operate 28 flights/day, Vietjet 20, Pacific 3, Bamboo 11 and Vietravel 1. I let you count how many pilots are required to fly that.

No salary until you start flying on line. And I know of some colleagues who were ‘hired’ in March 2021 with signed contracts and have yet not done their sim assessments !! Getting into VN physically is something of a dream for them at this point in time. And AFTER they get into VN they will have at least 4-6 weeks minimum before they can even think of touching a real airplane ( quarantine, ground classes, medicals, practicals etc etc ).
Easily expect November before they are online. That’s a cool but frustrating 9 months from date of hire to first salary cheque!!
And that too a drastically reduced salary. Less than 60% of the pre pandemic levels.
If you ask me personally, stay away for now. Once contracted you will be tied down for 3 years minimum.
Lots and lots of great opportunities just around the corner. Just wait for a bit …

Either it’s all a data gathering exercise, or they’ve just gotten a windfall of cheap Vietnamese available pilots or it’s simply bogus.
Eitherways, too much for too little !

VNA are bringing back some 350 guys, so there must be a procedure. They were already on contract though.
