Curiosity. Do you know if they upgrade?

They do upgrade but they aren't hiring and won't be for a long time which is why I am wondering the reason for your question.

Not planning to apply if that's what you're wondering, just curious. Thank you for the answer.

Can anyone in EVA confirm if EVA are recruiting again? I’ve seen some of the agencies are advertising for possible screenings in 2021. There is also an application form presented on the EVA website. Ordinarily do you go through an agency or can you apply directly? Many thanks.

Many agencies give phone numbers. Why don't you call and ask?

No expats layoff, no mandatory unpaid leave, no paycut but only voluntary schedule adjustment for less pay.

I heard it was the same through 1997 asian currency crisis and 2008 financial crisis which can tell you a lot about this company.

Sounds like someone worth working for. And what about supporting expat pilots stuck in their home countries and unable to come to work due to lack of connections to Taiwan? The same?

Expats on certain fleets have been already called back for operation. There are many different pilot supporting measures dependIng on your situation which I cannot lay out all, but all in all it is good.

Excellent, good to know

Even during the first years as contractor?

yes I am on my first one. Even the new guys under training whose contracts have not even started have been called back to resume training.

I’m curious, given Taiwan being apparently at the forefront of managing COVID-19, is there any likelihood that the current recruitment will actually be followed through? The CV is in, but silence ensues...

Not all but Expat FOs got sent home with unpaid leave. Seriously anybody expecting to be hired in 2020 is delusional.

Do you mean all expat FOs are sent home and locals are flying?

That’s not correct , actually as they mentioned before , since the epidemic situation is different depending of the country each individual lives , it has different needs, and the company has been VERY supportive with all of us, no one has even mentioned layoffs ,as they wrote before , company has supported all their employees during previous crisis and this is not the exemption , definitely a GREAT Company to work .

as per the comment Quoted , you have several options you can choose as expat depending on individual needs , no one has been forced to any decision or being subject to a pay cut unless you choose it for personal reasons .

There are countries in Asia where being a permanent employee of an organization is a very big deal. You are seen as part of a family, and while you are expected to work sometimes longer hours or give up days off, it is really not contemplated to dispose of you as times get tough.
A job means more than a paycheck and is often your social circle, your status and way of life in their culture, the law protects you accordingly.
I am not saying layoffs don’t happen, but it’s a lot harder to implement for the employer compared
to any country in Europe or the US (forget
the unions).
This is something that is not understandable for someone who only worked under a western style management, and this is the culture behind many companies in a place like Taiwan or a (very) few other nations in Asia.

This said, good luck to all of us as we’ll need it.

resumed recruitment?
 

I am in contact with 2 agencies. Direct personell say recruitment is suspended until further notice. FCI say EVA has started to review CV”s again and resumed recruitment. Who is right? (This is for B787 fleet) Which agency is the prefered one by pilots alredy working in EVA?

Thanks alot cheers

Hello! I have been advised by my contractor that recruitment is suspended as from 21st of august so they will have into account applications submitted before that time. They have also informed that EVA will be hiring a total of 100 FOs in 2021 and screenings will commence for selected candidates as soon as travel bans are removed (November). Any extra info about it? Thanks a lot
