Thanks Captain Daisy....

You think they will have Ho Chi Minh City bases as well?....

So the total compensation package is $11,200 USD per month?

That's more than Vietnam Airlines pays for the A320 and very good for Vietnam. I guess things are changing.

Although, depending on your commute, $500 might not get you very far.
(At VNA the contract includes free commuting anywhere in their system)

Good Luck against Jetstar Pac and on those salaries in this climate,

Are they looking for FO's as well? I am currently a B737-700 FO with 1500 in type. Just wondering if I'd have a shot at it.

Heard they are putting off operations till the 2nd quarter of 2009 due to fuel prices and the pullback with most aviation endeavours. Any one else hear anything?

i was due to go down last month but have been served notice, as have i believe all the ex-pats employed from CEO down
