Good luck!

"( not able to land with xwind)" this will require a control input and control inputs are not encouraged by the company as they could lead to several events requiring a punishment of crew ! Don't blame the crew, blame the airline.

Well... i know punishment by the airline for crews whi forgot the ldg gear down for 45 min without reconize that... i know punishment for crew continusly mistaking SID and STAR in japan.. i know punishment for crew that almost killed pax on A350 withot reconizing a depressurizzation..
Never heard any punishmet for people landing with xwind, or making a rawdata App.
Pilot fly... or they supposed to?
And yes its the Airline fault.. and pilots are part of that.

Need some advice
 

I am really interested in joining HVN however reading about this news is not very encouraging. How many expats can there be in the airline?

Joining VHN--- HELP
 

Hi I saw the news that Vietnam Airlines is laying off expats, I was encouraged to apply but I am not sure anymore. Is it true? I mean how many candidates can you lay off?

Ruzki, I hope you understood the sarcasm in my post. If you are a Captain at VN, you probably would have noticed the low standards of many first officers controlling the airplane. These low standards come from pure fear of making a mistake while controlling the aircraft, always having in mind the dreaded "level" list which can lead to punishment or worse a public humiliation called "safety briefing". Too much yaw, too much bank, too much speed, too much this and that. Especially for new pilots this is pure poison for their development. Therefore you may see poor (or no) crosswind technique and other basic things. But as I said, as long as you follow SOPs "strictly" nothing will ever happen (at least VN management believes that).

Agree totally with wingdeagle. They are so scared of flying because of this company culture of punishment and humiliations that they cannot build basic flying skills.

VNA
 

Sorry i didnt catch the sarcasm..
And i totally agree with u.
As for the expat.. more to be fired

Hi guys thank you all for your comments. I am currently working in PIC . I got a message that QR is coming to Vietnam, is this true?

got a message once again that they are hiring now A320 LTCs, TRIs, TREs...

Got the same message.

Looking for A320 captains again????

Message from who-which agency?

Vna
 

They are looking for tri/tre ltc to replace the ones who left!!!
In 1.5 y all captains will be terminated ( I was in the office today)
Stay away!!!!

You mean that trainers being hired now will have their contracts terminated in 1,5 years from now???

Can't be right. Sounds totally insane should that be true.

Rishworth is one agency that takes applications for trainers positions.

VNA seems to be a good company, only bad things I have heard before is that the upgrade to the A350 is down to who you know in the management.

If you think is a good company go for it
Rishwhort in the agency with most of the pilots terminated, and most of the cpt on the way to have a reduced roster.
Im one of those.
I work here ( not for long ) and yes nothing make sense.

Interesting stories...any more details? I would be interested to know more.

Thanks

Hello, goodbye
 

Nobody really knows. One thing looks certain though is that all (if not most) expat FOs are on their way out. Company would rather get pay to fly expats and pay 800 usd per month or locals for 3K than hire expats. Also with all the local cadets waiting to get released, it will only take some time before this company gets nationalized, just hoping they give ample time for guys to prepare to move out and not the 2 month surprise the FOs had.

The boost in TRI and LTI really make sense for VNA. A lot of cadet waiting to get released in the line, after that, your guess is as good as mine. It was good while it lasted, just sad for those who came late to the party.

There's a lot of better companies out there to work for, one that you wont have to think about where you'll end up next year constantly is probably a better choice.

Surprisingly in the latest twist of news, they have respected the Captains original roster and will not be a downgrade in the salary. But the "Master Caution" has already appeared and with several roadshows in Vietnam, it's a matter of time of when aviators start leaving for better and more stable options. Indeed, the "Vietnamization" of VNA is underway and probably will be completed in no more than three years.
