VietJet Air "NEW" Improved Terms
 

Has anyone seen the new T&C's for VietJet Captains?
They have done away with their housing and transport allowances which were ridiculous compared to market prices. The package is something like:

With Flight time in excess of 6000hrs:

Basic: $4600

Hourly pay: $65

Sector allowance: $35

Overnight: $50

So if u do 70hrs and 30 sectors a month, u can make 10k easy.
Also they guarantee 50hrs and 25 sectors, so whether u fly or not, u still get around 9k.

This is pretty good for Vietnam, wonder if anyone knows their current recruitment status??

..So ideally you'd want to do the shortest sectors as much as possible. That'd
mean SGN-CXR-SGN twice a day, (which from memory was 2 hours scheduled
near enough) giving you 4 hours payable per day for about 8 hours duty.

If you did a double CXR five days a week that's 80 hours for the month for 80
sectors. The math shows you'd make $12,600 pm. Of course that's nothing to
write home about but its not too shabby either.

But doing a Cam Ranh twice a bloody day would drive me up the wall - but if
they threw in a few perks like free interline to BKK on my 2 weeks off and a
free beer tab at the Omni even I'd be tempted!

Slasher,

And they do their sim training in BKK too!!

not for long.

Dr. Hung (husband of Mdme. Thao) just signed a SIM training agreement with WCC Sim Center in Manila last Monday.

Yes nothing so big to write home about, but considering Vietnamese living costs and with the commuting contract, its not a bad deal at all. Anyone who has info on their next intake?

That all sounds grand-as I understand it this is a commuting type contract of 6/2-so what happens to the 3 months off a year?

Do you simply receive the base salary or an average of some sort?:O

Is It true that in this company First Officers are P2F guys?.:ugh:

Very valid point Tanua... I guess it might be the base pay plus the guaranteed 50 hrs and 25 sectors?

chief pilot Nils and Craig the FO cum engineer cum recruitment cum training manager cum everything will cum on your face together:D

Why do you not ask Tanua where the true P2F pimps are hanging out.

The true answer;
Vietnam Airlines
Jetstar Pacific

Any pilot there can give some info?

Is there anybody knows what is the status regarding English or American schools in Vietnam if you MUST relocate with your family?

Plenty of good both American and British int'l schools here in Saigon, nothing to worry about that if ur coming with family, with the money u make here, u can have a pretty good life.

Anybody know of T&C for FOs?
Thank you

Paramount are the recruiting agency for Vietjet, they have published all the latest T&C's for F/O's

Any truth in the Rumour I got about Vietnam Airlines axing Expat contracts beginning March?

4 Expat F/O's to go off the ATR-that is it at present.:ouch:

P2F?

What is that exactly?

"Pay to Fly"

Omni gone, now Movenpick

Omni? Movenpick?

Well Ian i think you would have figured that out since you are one of them along with RN,V1, and B just name a few.:ugh:

Most of the clowns on this thread do not know what where you talking about

Well may is approaching fast now.A PM received from the "Gods" of Vietnam Aviation.

The party is pretty much come to an end on the 330 and 777, they aren't renewing the capt contracts as they come up this year and the F/O's are getting the take-it-or-leave-it upgrade on the 320. The Aussie capts are all applying for jobs elsewhere at the moment. Looks like expats will be all gone from 330 within the next few months. Jurgen got sacked in November, Steve Milburn has resigned and quit so there's only a handful of guys left of 330 now anyway.

On the bright side, strong rumor is going round that Vietjet is getting 330s so if you fancy a return to paradise that might be worth investigating?

Where are you now?

Nice to see that Blue Stork is every bit as lucid as we remember.

Thanks for the complimentary remarks.

I was really worried about you.Thought by now maybe you got the "White paint treament" or the "Acid treatment" in Nam.

Have been reading a good book called "Confessions of an Economic Hitman"
by John Perkins.Maybe you should read it.

Was also watching Crime & Investigation and Investigation Discovery on TV down here.I now realise why you are in Nam.

From what i have heard not much longer.

So enjoy you last few beers at Bar5 and some of those other shabby establishments where you hang out.

Good Luck You BS-We know who you are.:D

The Mad Stork is back.

Must be a rich, full life back in Sud Afreeka, pounding beers and watching Crime Scene Investigation and other such fare. Who was this week's star, Oscar Pistorious?

Just kidding. I'm so jealous of your wonderful life that I'm thinking of heading down to your consulate to request a permanent immigrant visa. I only hope the clerk won't die of a heart attack, because I will probably be the first person to make such a request in the last 20 years.

I see you're back to your old tricks on this thread, calling fellow aviators clowns. It surely takes one to know one and your legacy as a mumbling buffoon makes you an expert.

Now put down that beer. Don't you have a King Air trip in the morning?

Grove the fact that this guy mention names on pprune says it all about his professionlism.

...Hotels....

Hotels? what do you want to know?

vietjet
 

any one know about the skype interview at vietjet?

Well I was pretty positive about Vietjet but today once again my pay was screwed up. Vietjet shorted me $7,600 this pay period and told me I'm going to have to wait till next payday.

TK;
Sounds like some time off then till next payday.

How is this going to work out?
 

Math in SE Asia seems to work differently. Vietjet is losing pilots and needing many more and so the solution is to reduce the offered pay(???)

In the news I see a firm order for 60+ new A-320's about to get signed.
(Better lower the pay more, and quickly.)

Question PPruNers:
How many of you current and qualified A-320 drivers (1000/500 hrs in seat CA/FO) would be interested in coming to Vietjet for a 6/3 roster paying an AVERAGE of $9500/month (captain pay)?

VJ
 

6/3?????????

Generous

What a joke.

Yes, the '3' is not a type-o.
The time/money equation for pilots obviously drives pilot's interests toward contracts, and the total cost per hour of the pilot gets a management's focus. It is hoped that Vietjet will see the wisdom in drawing experience to the operation vs peddling jobs to the inexperienced, and a 6/3 offering with pay scaled at the same hourly cost (in the existing work force, not this new terrible offer) to the airline would be a very attractive offer I think sure to draw very much needed experienced crews.

Given the surprise of a greatly reduced pay in their offering I guess we'll just have to sit back and watch what happens. But I think it would be very smart if we had a showing of hands that would be interested in a 6/3 and could come quickly in the event Vietjet gets themselves into a terrible staffing squeeze (which sure seems predictable at this point).

New jobs?:

Ambitious low-cost airline VietJet has agreed to buy up to 92 Airbus (EAD.PA) jets worth about $8.6 billion between 2014 and 2022 in a move to beef up its presence in a fast-growing regional market.

Both Airbus and Vietjet said the deal included firm orders for 42 A320neo, a fuel-saving version of its best-selling jet due to enter service from 2015, as well as 14 current-generation A320s and six A321 aircraft.

Pay collapse, HAN basing, new orders and international arrangements
 

News of the week at Vietjet...

Item 1) The new pay offered from Vietjet is an approximately 36% reduction from current pay levels in effect.

Item 2) Without fanfare, it appears newly hired pilots are being assigned to an as yet unannounced repeat effort at crewing a Hanoi base.

Item 3) The big airplane order's deployment can be deciphered in the news item below and involves apparently a total of four separate airline entities.
