What has been said above is all true, they have already fired a expat captain with 3 days notice over something trivial... typical Viet dictatorship airline , avoid unless your jobless with no other options!!

Vietnamese airlines hire foreign flight attendants?

They do. My Korean ex-coworker has joined bamboo last year, Bamboo has quite a few foreign crew members. I'm not sure if they got the cabin manager position or if they can pursue that though. Can anyone share please?

foreign leader: recruiting pilots not to fill positions, but to find 'right people'

Well, my dear
the Company has now 22 aircraft in one year...quite difficult to have them all new....
Is mainly own by a private group, that means then “money doesn't fall from the sky” and enter in stock market is an usual procedure to collect investors.
Vietnamese are company employees while expats are employed by agencies... the contract is different.
No roster.... complain to your agent and follow the Vietnamese regulation. As pilot you are responsible to check your limits as well as the company needs to follow them.
Various benefit, same as above... your contract is the master.
All new companies have issues as well as old ones but we should look forward and try to be positive
😘

I have just heard a rumor that effective today all pilots pay will be cut by 50% and the 6/2 weeks will be changed to 5/1 week.
Any truth to this?

what a survival cut. not sure about BAV but a friend in VNA told me just only flight cut by half, not the pay.

Bamboo airways is not paying at the moment to their pilots, they have been waiting for their salaries 4 days and no news...the virus is hitting hard the industry in Asia. And yes, pilots have been told to work 4-1 or 8-2 at the moment for the same salary...

How is the situation at Bamboo Airways at the moment. Are they hiring pilots? Some agencies are recruiting for them

You think any company is the world would hire any pilot at this moment?

Alot of those recruiting ads appear to be way out of date as well or
maybe the recruiters are trying to build up a database for future
recruitment. I rang up CAE for a laugh about a position having been
told apply now by email. Answer: oh sorry thats on hold UFN, not surprised.

Bamboo Airways present situation
 

Bamboo as other companies was facing a deep crisis after ncov19 period.
The bad management skills of BAV have been demonstrated to most of employers and suppliers including Vietnamese government.
Despite bad financial status the company is still surviving and they keep flying mainly because of employees sacrifice.
Salaries are deeply reduced and most of the employees are still waiting. Pilots are unpaid since February, or better they received last months up to 50% of February basic salary without other amounts earned. Instructors and trainees are unpaid since last year.

The company clearly wants to quit with pilot agencies := since they start to recruit directly JetStar grounded pilots to replace their unpaid personnel :D that is out of the country and banned to fly back to Vietnam.:yuk:

More than that they try to hire people directly from LinkedIn with their internal "talent scouting department":sad: bypassing pilot agents.

In the mean time the BAV pilots are in Vietnam are flying with the dream they will be paid back.

Most of them hope to be smart of colleagues and some of them are flying for free :D.

Bamboo forced the agencies to pay 25% of February salary to people are in Vietnam Only,but those people will be waiting the other salaries earned longer and longer (Captain received 2600 USD, FO around 1700 USD).

In the same time the salary policy is monthly changing and bamboo keep swapping conditions and answering the agencies with different terms most probably just to earn time.

They need cash!.;)
Contractual terms are still vague and changing since most of the agencies try to discuss better conditions but since pilots are flying for free they don't have any reliable contract bargaining power.

That is the REAL situation of this bunch of a.......s despite all the fake news you are reading around.

Need advise on Vietnam cadet
 

Hi guys, just finished my CPL training and time building (300hrs)

Was going to apply FO position in South Korea but corona just killed the market.

I am a bit old so i am planning to apply a job in Vietnam (Heard its better then Korea)

Anyone have advice about starting a career in vietnam in thesedays?

i contacted one of the agencies and they told me bamboo air is recruiting new cadets.

So are you Korean or Vietnamese?

South Korean

Unfortunately you don't have much of a chance! ATM Vietnamese are the ones doing the flying.
I don't want to ruin anyones dream, but don't loose time in VN. You are better off in S Korea I would say

Good luck

Hi all,
Does anyone know the latest recruitment status for Bamboo? Before I get any smart comments, I am obviously aware of the situation globally.
The only reason I ask is because I applied recently throught their website and recieved an email from requesting documents and application forms etc. etc..

Have things started to move in that part of the world?

Much obliged!

I would say they are either just collecting CV's or it's an auto reply from the recruiting email address.

Jetstar Vietnam will be fully turned over to VNA so maybe the expats there will be jobless too.

Bamboo hired 20 pilots from Jetstar and VietJet promising career and salaries.
But BAV pilots are unpaid since February and they are running out of cash...despite the crew situation "The Big Family" is planning a further salary reduction of 30% retractive at 1st June 2020.

Good Luck my friends!

Bamboo airways local staff were seen protesting outside Bamboo HQ due to lack of salary since months.... I heard they have 12000 cvs on file , no shortage of mugs waiting to fly for free!
