Is this for real?
I've just logged on to PPrune after a 2 week break, because of this damn Desk Flying job. I will send my application from the Great White North now. Hope FedEx does 3 day service to KL from Vancouver

Well i hear a Captain gets around RM14k, now im not sure if thats clean take home. Anyway tax is 26% and a further 11% goes to a goverment provident fund. You get RM65 per sector. Work your bud off, and the rest of the terms are preety standard no frill airline stuff.
The Fo's take around Half of that with the same benefits, but of course their income tax bracket would be lower.
Company declared 3 months bonuses, after operating for one year and have set a target for 6 months next year.
Expat living in malaysia can be expensive, so dont count on saving much or none at all. Good luck.

Thanks Rage. Doesn't sound a lot! If they need expat Captains they are going to have to pay a little more than that.
I suppose thats good news for the locals and thats the way it should be, but I believe that part of the world to be short on experience.......

Good to build time
Sounds like a good job for me, or any pilot young and tired of turboprops that need to build up time on jet to get a better job at any major. Although pay is low and you dont save money on this type of airline you build up good jet time in not to much time as you fly as much the law let you. If we add that you can progress in relative low time to the left seat is not a bad job to stay for a a couple of years, make a good amount off PIC and SIC jet time and then move to a better job. For me, 24 years old is would be a great job. See you all at FL350.

The malaysian MCAR is based on the British CAP371, so these guys work u to the max, i understand they max out after 10 months. Anyway it dosent pay much compared to western standards, but in this current time it is something to go by. And believe me there wont be much change in salary for expats, in terms of expat allowance, all on local terms. Time to command is very fast, especially if u have the hours. I think it is 4000 hours. They are very short of crew including commanders, in the whole country, with the main carrier expanding, there arn't enough pilots in the country atleast for the next 5 years or so.

Thats what I heard as well Rage. I don't expect the situation to ease (on the lack of experience front) if they pay such a low wage.
I think the UKs a little like a prison so I would be happy to take a pay drop but that sort of pay with a family is just not possible.
Good luck to the first officers soon to become Captains

What about an expat with a Malaysian wife? Does he still need a work permit and does that open a few doors? After all there are a few expat pilots around with Malaysian wives!!

Captk you should know that having a Malaysian wife earns a foreigner absolutely no additional rights or regard in Malaysia. In fact you won't even get PR. Their xenophobic policy is 'You marry Malaysian woman you take her home with you lah.'
