Vietnam Airlines A320 contracts

[flya380]

Hi,

Does anybody have any info about the Vietnam Airlines A320 contract posted through ParcAviation. What 's the package like for Fos or Capts?

Thanks

I hear Parc offers a little bit better contract but here is some info on a Vietnam Airlines contract though Rishworth:

Captains -

Base Pay = 7,900
Accomodation = 1500
Per Diem = 1200

Total pay = $10,600/month (after Vietman taxes)

6 weeks on/2 weeks off
Travel on Vietnam Airlines Network. Off line you are responsible.

FOs-

Base Pay = 5100
Accomodation = 1500
Per Diem = 1200

Total Pay = 7800/month

All the rest is the same.

I've also heard Parc is a bit better. I think better health insurance and tickets back to your home town after you're done with the contract. The money is the same for both. Rumors are going around of another pay raise. 6/2, 5/3, and 4/4 roster patterns available.

6/2, 5/3, and 4/4 roster patterns available.

Do the different roster patterns pay differently? If so, how much & how's it calculated? By "available" does that mean it's available in the bid package, so based on seniority.

 

[Varig]

The 5/3 and 4/4 patterns are pro rated so you get less money. I believe you can bid for it regardless of seniority. From what I hear they are desperate for pilots and are trying to come up with new ways to attract more people.

Even I know how to do that:

This may seem like a dumb question, but for contract flying, do you get paid while you are off? For the 4/4 and 5/3 roster patterns, do you get paid for the 4 and 3 weeks while you are off?

 

[Say Again Over]

No dumb question, the base contract is 6/2 or 273 days commitment (many of these are scheduled days off or stby) for $127,200.00 net per year. Other schedules are just pro rated from that, about $465.00 per day.

 

[Varig]

Thanks for clearing that up. I think I understand it a little better now.
How much would one spend for accomodations per month? What about sharing an apartment or house?

 

[Say Again Over]

You can get a small single apartment for about $500 or share a nice house for $400.00, a decent house starts at $900.00 plus utilities.

 

[Varig]

Thanks again for sharing the info.

was told in an email by Parc that Vietnam Airlines will proceed with my application but can only offer me the 6 weeks on/ 2 off schedule. Really wanted the 5 on / 3 off! Anybody else in this situation? What are the chances of agreeing to the 6/2 and trying to negotiate the 5/3 once on the property? Pipe dream?

 

[Varig]

I heard that is all they are offering right now. A few people managed to switch to the 5/3 but most are getting only the 6/2. Also there are rumors of 10% pay cut.

Pay cut or pay raise?

Everyone says to use PARC, but who would be the second choice? I had to cancel a screening through PARC for another contract due to my passport being lost, and I fear I may have burned that bridge.

 

[Varig]

Yes you read it right. 10% pay CUT. Kind of hard to believe given they still need pilots bad but who knows. We'll see where this goes.

 

[filejw]

Some contract if they just can arbitrary cut your pay 10%.

Anyone have any new information to add to this?? Hiring, pay, and schedule information that is current comes to mind....

Thank!

I'm not surprised one bit that they are trying to pull that ridiculous stunt after the "Air Mekscum" pilots demonstrated that there are pilots in the US willing to undercut the market by an outstanding 40% !!!!! uke:
