I will appreciate if somebody can describe me how a typical 6 weeks on roster on a320 looks like. how many hours a month during the full month ON, how many sectors a day??

thanks for that

Hi Guys, can someone please post, or PM the kind of roster you can expect on the 777.

Also, any Aussie 777 F/Os.......how often during your 6,5 or 4 weeks on do you get to layover in SYD or MEL.

Many thanks.

Hi,

i heard a whisper that the B777 F/O recruitment has been put on hold for the time being.

Rgds.

anyone knows if A330 recruitment is going on, or Parc/Rishworth/Direct are only collecting applications wishing that VAC is starting to hire again?

Looks like the recruiters are advertising interview for A320 F/O this month. I have my stuff in with two different recruiters, 15,000+ hours, 1500 SIC A320 with a PIC type.

Haven't heard a thing from anybody. Anybody else have any information??

Thanks,

Yes people, can confirm that they have started giving dates for A 330 SIM and ground school. Anyone who has some program infos / questionaire regarding interview or SIM. THANK'S !!

Adverts for the 320 seemed to give a start date for early January and sim in December. Some of December has happened and January is not far off. Anyone had any screening or start dates yet. Thanks.

Rishworth and climbto350 are still advertising for the 777 F/O position. You might want to get in touch with them.

A330 Capt. info
 

Gentlemen,

If I may, does anybody know if there are any foreign line capts on the A330 with VN ? I'm hoping to get a sim evaluation soon and would appreciate any info on simulator profiles for A330 capt. evaluation. Any word on the typical schedule they fly every week, total time each month, etc. will apprecite any info on these. Many thanks, safe and happy flying

Hello Gents...

Does anyone knows near future dates for VN A330 Captain screenings...

Happy Landings to all of you... :ok:

Who Cares How Many Options You Have

A320
 

Well its gone from hurry, hurry to very silent? The agency said it was due to the trainers being too busy to have screenings rostered. Don't how much truth there is in it. Wonder when they will get all excited next??! Life is one delightful roller-coaster.:rolleyes:

Parc emailed me today.. $10,700/month. The catch?? 10% pay cut for the first year!!! It never ceases to amaze me. Anyone know the status of their hiring? specifically for 320...

I believe if you are the pilot hired through contract agencies you are the " contractor ", I also think you mean " accepting " Captains for now.

He's a pilot, cut him some slack...:}

With the amount of flying they are talking about going down this year - you can BET they will need some A320 FOs as well and soon.

Hang in there - also if one agency says they are only hiring CPTs why not inquire at the other two?

There are still ads for F/Os as well.........

Piss piss bitch moan. Pay is $9630 per month for the first year. Get though that and prove yourself; you get a 10% increase the following year. Does that make it easier to swallow?

"...it never ceases to amaze me...Anyone know of their hiring..." Hmmm, didn't we meet somewhere in 89?

Are you joking? Any foreign captains at VNA? Of the thousands of postings in this forum, have you seen ONE posting written in Vietnamese?

ATR, A320,321,330, 777, and even the two little f&cker F70's all have foreign captains.

Simple. It looks like this... :bored: and... :ugh:, followed by ...:yuk:

Starskate, you tired of KZ ? To cold up there ?

What a load of rubbish! Would that be you Pierre? Or is it one of the other chaps who showed up and couldn't pass the line-check?

VNA is hiring over 140 pilots this year alone. Can't find enough "qualified" chaps. The future looks good here mate.

I've been offered a screening for A320 captain position. Any one care to give me some info on the sim profile and what life in general is like in Ho Chi Minh.
Thanks. M

Any whispers about 777 hiring anytime soon?

There's saying in Africa that fits quite well in Vietnam - all of Asia for that matter....

"If you come here without patience, you'll soon learn it. But come with patience; you'll soon loose it!"

hi everyone

i know i'm not the only one asking and will appreciate any answer

thinking of changing lifestyle and wondering to move to vietnam

so far i'm quite confused with too many infos found on the web

is there anyone out there who could tell me more about living and working in vietnam.

wondering to send my application for f/o position on the a320 fleet

actually current with more than 2000 hours on type ( more than 5000 hours flying )

thanks very much for spending some time with this

see u

You say you have too much information, but you would like to have more.. well I'm afraid it won't e different the second time around, please be more specific if there is some conflicting remarks.

In a nut shell, it's a good contract and VietNam is a great place to live.

And an answer you will have

Life's short. Stop wondering; start doing!

I feel that way with dating sites on the web

My guess? Probably yes!

I'm gonna sound like a broken record (DVD for you youngins')..... Life's short. Stop wondering; start doing!


"Actually", currently having a bit of fun at your expense!

You're welcome. I enjoyed our time together. ;)

thanks a lot

u made me laugh...as much as i did i hope.....


ciao

Powderkeg, you have got 1 PN

Who Are The Current Agencies In Charge Of Vn Other Than Rishworth,parc And Direct Personel And Who Gives The Best Deal Currently?thank You

There is also Euro-Pacific. You must do your own homework on who gives the best deal, there are many opinions about this subject, factors include items such as:

1. Do they have any screening dates?
2. What is the salary?
3. When does your full time salary begin?
4. What insurance is supplied?
5. When is your salary paid to you?
6. Does your agency charge you a fee to xfer your salary to your bank?
7. Are you free to use a bank of your choice, or must you use a designated bank?
8. In case you have some questions or problems, are there any local reps to help you?

Good luck, :ok:

Can someone please give an example of an A330 FO roster? destinations, how many nights out, sectors, and block hours per month in average...
always two pilots or augmented crew with proper rest?
any comments on crm and sop in the cockpit? is it western standard or...?
thanks

Hi Guys,

I recently got selected to go to Vietnam as an A320 F/O. I also got selected with Wataniya. I am a little confused as to where to go. I have the standard contract with Vietnam....the 6 on 2 off and the pay. Does Vietnam have an upgrade policy for A320 F/O's. If anyone has insight of that, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Of course it's great if you can go and experience each of the locations, if you are a single guy from the states, my guess would be that you would enjoy the life style here in Vietnam much better than the ME.

I would do whatever is necessary to speak to one of the crews in Kuwait, do your homework. Good luck.

Thanks NVPilot....as you said I am in the process to speak to one of the crews in Kuwait. At the moment I am flying in India. Please let me know if there's a chance for 320 F/O's to upgrade to Capt's. Thanks.

Regards
sky

for the guys in VAC:

1)what are the A330 layovers?
2)are A330 rosters based on many night flights?
3)average A330 monthly block/duty hours?

thanks!
