Latest Cebu Pacific Salaries
 

Good day Gents and Ladies,

Been reading the posts on Cebu Pacific. Anyone know what their current 2014 salary scales are?

Thanks

CP has inconsistent pay scales. If you are Filipino you may have one scale, if you are an expat you may have another.

Before you consider CP, be aware you are choosing the bottom feeder of SE Asia. The lowest pay, no real benefits, an archaic vacation and sick leave system. Training is non existent. Their version of training is to sit through classes lead by inexperienced instructors, then be given a test along with an answer sheet so everyone scores 100. Sim training is an outright abomination.

As far as pay, you will receive a "training allowance" of basically $500/ month while in training, no base pay and no flight pay. Training is from ground school till you are "released" for line training, and this process can be 6+ months.

Once released you can expect about $3500 to $4000/month pay (on about 80 hours of flying). Way, way below industry standards. The pay is based upon "experienced based pay" which means you only see pay raises at 500 hours, 2000 hours, 3500 hours, etc. and the pay raises are very small.

Schedule? The worst in the industry. You will only be "allowed" 8 days off per month, and not at once. Very rare to see more than 2 days off at a time, and you will arrive late your last day (9pm to 2am) , then 2 days off with a show time of 2 to 3 am on your first day. This is the standard there. Your "2 days off" is really one day.

The schedules are chaotic and will leave you very fatigued.

And, don't forget, you as the applicant are responsible to pay ALL of your pre employment expenses, such as your work permit which is over P100,000 now.

And (yes there's more!) you will be required to sign a "training bond" for about $25,000 and three years. There is no prorating this bond. Essentially you are putting yourself into 3 years indentured service.

Forgot to add another benefit. There is no pay guarantee at CP.

Call in sick, loose your flight pay. Take vacation and also loose your flight pay.

Getting sick or using your vacation will cost you big time.

Newly hired FO salary could be around US 2-3K. There are actually other companies offering way higher than that, with better perks IMO.

Just remember, to get to earning a salary (base+flight pay) a new hire will spend 6+ months at $500/month (P20,000) first.
