Frequently Asked Questions Vietnam Airlines


CHOOSING AN AGENCY
What are the advantages
of contracting through
Rishworth Aviation?

We are one of the fastest growing Crew Leasing


agencies in the world and we are the largest in Asia. We
have over 13 years experience in Vietnam, providing a great
number of flight crew to Vietnam Airlines, supported by a
very experienced Pilot Support Representative based in
Vietnam. Our Auckland and Asia based teams also visit
Vietnam frequently to discuss and review contract and
market issues in person with you and the Airline.
We understand the challenges of adjusting to a new country,
language, culture and working style. Its often the little things
that make the difference from advising you on the easiest
way to get to and from your base airport, hints and tips on
working with a foreign crew, to helping you settle your family
in a new and exciting location. So, no matter where you are,
were here for you, and our experienced support team can
be called on 24/7 to assist you with anything at all
throughout your time on contract with us.
Our in country representation can provide real time local
support. We believe we offer you the best support in
Vietnam that no other agency can match. We work closely
with a senior VNA pilot who is our Pilot Support
Representative in Vietnam. Our Representative meets you
within your first week in Vietnam and is available to assist
you throughout the term of your contract. We also have the
services of a Vietnamese agent who is available by phone,
email and Skype to assist with pilot queries. You have the
support of a friendly, professional team whose focus is to
ensure your contracting experience is successful and
enjoyable.

Can I apply for the same


contract/position through
other agencies?

No. Once you have applied for a position with Vietnam


Airlines through an agency, you cannot apply for the same
position at the same time through another agency.
Vietnam Airlines frowns upon pilots changing agencies, or
applying through multiple agencies, so it is important that
you know which agency you wish to be represented by.

CONTRACT TERMS
Is the monthly payment
amount before or after
tax?

The Airline is responsible for payment of tax in Vietnam so


the amount you are paid is net of taxes. Prior to starting on
contract you will be required to complete the necessary
forms to allow the Airline to pay tax on your pilot fees. Tax
certificates are not provided by the Vietnam Tax
Department, however VNA can issue statements about the
amount of tax paid for each pilot in Vietnamese Dong.

Page 6 of 13

We advise you to seek advice from your tax professional as


to any tax liabilities you may have in your home country prior
to attending a screening.
What is the security
bond requirement?

Following the completion of the Initial Training


Period/Ground School course and being successfully
checked to line you will start to receive the Full Rate fee
outlined above.
From the first day that you are paid at this rate, RAL is
required to make deductions to a maximum of 30% of the
full monthly fee payment (pro-rated for any part month
payment) until 90% of the rate has been collected.
These funds will be held by RAL as a security bond to cover
any penalty costs that may arise for early termination of the
contract. The security bond will be returned to you at the
successful completion of the full contract term if no further
contract is mutually agreed and entered into. See below for
further information about penalty amounts.

When will I be paid?

You will be paid on the 10th day of every month for the
preceding month (you should allow up to 48 hours for the
payment to reach your bank account). We can arrange to
split your payment between different bank accounts (a fee
of USD25.00 will apply if you split your fee payment to a 2nd
and subsequent accounts).

How much are the per


diems?

There is no separate per diem payment. The per diems are


included in your total monthly fee payment outlined above.

What is the notice period


if I wish to end my
contract?

If you leave Vietnam Airlines at any time before the end of


your contract period, then you are required to give 62 days
notice and pay the following early termination costs:
(a) 90% of your currently monthly fee payment if you
leave prior to the completion of 12 months service;
(b) 60% of your current monthly fee payment if you
leave after 12 months service but before the
completion of 24 months service;
(c) 30% of your current monthly fee payment if you
leave after 24 months service but before the
completion of 36 months service;
If you leave at any time during the term of the contract,
without providing the 62 days notice required, the early
termination cost is 120% of your current monthly fee
payment.

What is the retirement


age?

The current retirement age for men is 65 years and 60 years


for women.

Are there any retirement


benefits?

As with most contracting positions, there are no retirement


benefits/superannuation plans involved.

Can I keep my home licence


current?

You operate on a Vietnamese licence and Vietnam Airlines


will take care of the arrangements to keep this licence
current. Keeping your home licence current is your
responsibility.

ROSTERS
How long in advance are
rosters issued?

Generally rosters are issued between 2 and 4 weeks in


advance depending on the Fleet.

Page 7 of 13

Are rosters stable?

They can be subject to changes, particularly on the A320


fleet. There are also seasonal demands where rosters can
be busier than usual such as during the very busy
Vietnamese New Year period (TET) in February.

Is there any annual leave?

No separate annual leave is provided. Days off are included


in the roster pattern as above.

How many days off do I get


during my 6 weeks on duty?

This may vary between fleets but generally pilots get 1-2
days off per week.

Does Vietnam Airlines allow


pilots to submit a request for
particular days off each
month?

Pilots may submit requests for particular days off, and


where possible, Vietnam Airlines will accommodate
these. However, we would suggest that Vietnam Airlines
would not be able to grant requests for certain days off if the
requests were made on a regular basis.

COMMUTING
Will I be given travel home for
my days off?

You will be provided with a return economy class ticket on


the Vietnam Airlines network for each off duty period
(upgrade to business class on space available basis). US
based pilots should be aware that Vietnam Airlines currently
does not operate to America, so you would need to fly on
Vietnam Airlines network to Paris, Frankfurt, Japan, Korea
or Taiwan (or somewhere else on the VNA network) and
arrange your own flight to the US from there, or you would
need to pay for your own flight for each days off period.

Is ID travel available?

ID travel is available on the Vietnam Airlines network for


pilot, parents, spouse and children, however, travel via this
method is best made when you are flexible as to dates. If
you have fixed dates that you must travel then we
recommend you consider alternative arrangements. Please
note that the cost is exclusive of taxes and you are required
to pay for tax. There are no interline travel benefits available
to pilots at Vietnam Airlines.
Vietnam Airlines has recently become a member of the
SkyTeam Alliance and it is anticipated that benefits will
accrue under this membership in due course. Please refer
to
www.vietnamair.com.vn/wps/portal/en/site/flight_info/route
_map for details on the Vietnam Airlines network.

Is accommodation provided?

Vietnam Airlines provides accommodation at layover


stations other than base residence. The standard is
generally very good, however one or two locations have
average standard hotel facilities.

Can I bring my wife/family?

Many pilots at Vietnam Airlines have their families living with


them. For pilots on the A320 you should be aware that you
may end up overnighting away from base around 3 times
each week (or more during busy periods) so you wont
always be home with your family.
Family members can reside with you in Vietnam and we can
assist with visa arrangements for them. Depending on the
passport held, visas currently cost around USD50, are
issued for a 3 month term and renewable in country for a
further 3 months. Family members are required to leave
and re-enter Vietnam to get a new visa every 6 months.

Page 8 of 13

What are the options for


educating my children in
Vietnam?

Pilots feedback to us is that the standard of education at


the international schools is good, but they are expensive
(approximately USD800-1000 per month per child). There
are several schools to choose from International, British
International, French and American.

UPGRADES /
CONVERSIONS
Will there be an
opportunity for me to
upgrade/convert to
another aircraft at
Vietnam Airlines?

VNA is committed to offering upgrade and transition


opportunities to qualifying expatriate crew to support its fleet
expansion plans. To date, many pilots have been offered
the opportunity to upgrade and convert to another fleet.
VNA has approved upgrades/conversions for A320, A330
and B777 FO to A320 Captain, ATR72 Captain to A320
Captain and A320 Captain to A330 Captain. There are also
upgrades possible to TRI or TRE on some fleets.
With the arrival of VNAs new fleets (A350 and B787) these
transition opportunities will continue over the foreseeable
future.

TRAINING
How long is the initial
training?

Approximately one month including a 2 week Ground


School course. This ground course wont be as structured
and organised as you will be used to. The actual schedule
can vary and there may be a lot of down time during the
training programme (which can be of benefit as this allows
new pilots time to arrange their accommodation, bank
accounts and get to know the city etc).

Is there time off during


training? Can I return
home during training?

Your standard roster pattern will start after you have passed
all training and been issued with your CAAV licence. You
will not be able to return home during training and will
complete one rotation directly following the issue of your
licence before receiving your first 2 week vacation.

VIETNAM
What is living in Vietnam
like?

Below is some information prepared by one of our pilots on


contract at Vietnam Airlines:
Living in Vietnam is generally cheap. Accommodation
varies in both style and price. A basic, single bedroom
apartment rents for around USD700 a month and a two
bedroom apartment for around USD1300.
The rent depends on location and facilities available e.g.:
pool/gym. Depending on the management, some places
allow ADSL/water/electricity and the like in the rental but
otherwise that cost is around USD100 a month extra.
Houses are cheap compared to an apartment and many
people prefer this lifestyle, but an apartment is often a
simpler option. Depending on the area, you will get a 3-4
bedroom house, with several bathrooms for around
USD1400 a month. School fees are expensive. Average
cost is USD1000, per child, per month at the expatriate
schools.

Page 9 of 13

The standard of education is very good and the children


experience a very cosmopolitan atmosphere, with children
from all parts of the globe. Schools: several to choose from
- International, British International, French and American.
All do IB and all have 3 terms.
An example of costs are:
Primary: USD8,000 with USD1,200 application fee
Secondary: USD10,500 pa with USD1,200 application fee
Here is a link to one International School in Hanoi:
www.unishanoi.org
Transport is very cheap by taxi and there are plenty
available throughout the city areas. Many people use a local
driver with a motorbike/scooter to get around and this is also
very cheap. Public buses are everywhere and extremely
cheap - its just a matter of knowing where to get on and off!
After living here for a while most people choose to buy a
motorbike/scooter and drive themselves around.
Costs vary from USD300 to USD2000 for an average
bike/scooter/ depending on whether second hand or new.
Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi are very busy places, with many
restaurants, bars, shops and markets. Sporting and
entertainment facilities are also available. Domestic travel
by air is cheap and there are some great weekend
destinations available within Vietnam. Good medical clinics
are available 24 hours a day.
ON CONTRACT
SUPPORT

Supporting you while on contract is an absolute priority for


us. Rishworth has an established Pilot Support Group
(PSG) that offers you friendly, practical, on-the-ground
support that you can call on 24 hours a day. Our Pilot
Representative is a senior VNA pilot living in Vietnam who
has a wealth of first-hand experience and passion for the
wellbeing of their fellow pilots at VNA.
Our Pilot Representative will meet with you on arrival in
Vietnam to ensure that you quickly adjust to the systems
and protocols of VNA as well as Vietnamese life in general.
Our Representative is also available to give you general
support and guidance on an ongoing basis throughout the
term of your contract at VNA.
In addition we have an experienced Vietnamese
representative who works closely with the Rishworth team
and the Pilot Support Representative. Our Vietnamese
representative is available by phone or email to assist when
dealing with VNA, authorities or locals, where speaking the
local language can help resolve matters quickly.

Vietnam Airlines

Vietnam Airlines is the National Flag-carrier operating


scheduled flights both domestically and with many
international destinations in Indochina, Asia, Australia and
Europe. They do not yet offer scheduled services to the
USA but this is likely to happen in the future.
Vietnam Airlines currently operates approximately 85
aircraft including A320/321, A330, ATR72, B777, A350,
B787 and F70, with A320 accounting for half of VNAs
current fleet. The Airline has strong expansion plans for the
future and this includes having 150 modern aircraft by 2020.

Page 10 of 13

Vietnam has traditionally been a contractor friendly country


and is well coveted as a place to live because of the
location, lifestyle, upgrade opportunities and the quality
contracts that Rishworth offers. There are currently over
150 expat pilots on contract to VNA which provides a large
and supportive expat network in Vietnam.
WORKING IN VIETNAM
WITH RISHWORTH
A Pilots Perspective

Captain Sangyong Chong

What I enjoy most about working as a TRE at Vietnam


Airlines...

All the staff are friendly, even the CEO, Im treated like part
of the family. Flying is based on straight Airbus SOPs and
flight training manuals are in English, so there is no risk of
mistranslations. Schedules offer 10h duty days or less, the
first officers are good to fly with, cabin crews are welltrained, and the mechanics have fantastic standards. Its a
wonderful place to work. There are many smart young
cadets who are willing to learn and keen to fly. I have to be
patient and have an open heart to teach them to be safe
pilots and help them build confidence. This offers a great
sense of achievement as an instructor. I feel lucky to have
a job as an expatriate pilot, as long as you fly well there are
no pressures, it is nice and relaxed, and a great way to meet
pilots from all over the world, share experiences and make
friends.

Vietnam Airlines A320


Captain A Bagyui

I have been with Rishworth since March 2008 and am


currently on contract to Vietnam Airlines. During this period,
I have found Rishworth to be very professional and proactive. They are helpful and understanding. Their quick
response and friendly staff make them a pleasure to work
with. I recommend Rishworth to anyone venturing into the
world of contract aviation. You will be in very good and safe
hands!
My name is Andras, I am from Hungary. I work as a Captain
on the A320/321 fleet at Vietnam Airlines, since 2010. I
finished my upgrade training with VNA in 2012 and now I
am enjoying life in the left seat. I really like living and
working in Vietnam. I have lived in many countries before,
including the USA and Europe, but I never enjoyed life like
I do here in Southeast Asia.
The package that VNA offers seems to be a pretty good one
considering working conditions and work schedule. Crew
rostering and our fleet office are very helpful and
accommodating in case we have any requests or problems.
Our Vietnamese colleagues are all very nice people, they
make us feel that we are part of their team. We feel well
respected and treated like any other pilot, it is a very
professional environment to work in.
VNA has many aircraft on order, I am sure there are many
opportunities here in the next few years. I really hope that I
can stay here for a long time.

Hi, my name is Ivo Dolezal, A320/21 Captain. Rishworth


Aviation provides a complete service and has the highest
number of expatriate pilots working at VNA. Rishworth also
has a Pilot Support Representative who has been working
here for more than 15 years, supporting crews during their
time on assignment. VNA continues to expand and next
year (2015) will introduce B787 and A350 Fleets. When
working abroad it is very important to have the right partner
which Rishworth definitely is.

Captain S Martinez

I have been working in Vietnam Airlines for almost 2 years.


After been many years in aviation and in 4 different
companies I can tell you that there is not such a perfect job,
most of the time depends on what we choose to see, but,
what makes the difference from living and working in
Vietnam? Is among others, the stability, respect of the
contract, simplicity, safety and great fellowship at work!
My current base is the city of Hanoi, where thousands of
tourists come every year to visit, is a modern yet steeped in
history, French-style colonial homes, natural parks within
the city and very important is a safe place to live.
When I came here I was surprise how Rishworth received
us very professional with a detailed briefing on what to
expect in our new job, for sure Rishworth Aviation was my
best option.

Vietnam Airlines A320


PIC T Conard

My name is Tom Conard, and I am an Airbus A-320 captain


working for Vietnam Airlines. My agency is Rishworth
Aviation. Ive been in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam since the
fall of 2004, and Ive loved every minute of it. (My wife loves
living here, too!) I came from US Airways, taking an early
retirement after over 25 years of service. Coming from a
major air carrier in the U.S. and being an American
(Americans are not mobile). I appreciated the assistance
given to me by Rishworth Aviation. From the initial
screening details to getting settled in Ho Chi Minh City,
Rishworth and their senior pilot here in Vietnam were there
to help me.
I chose Rishworth because of the number of Asia contracts
they have available. And, the contracts they offer are
competitive. One of the major differences between a
Rishworth
contract
and
others
is
the
medical/dental/disability insurance package. Simply, its
quite good.
With regard to living and working in Vietnam, my wife and I
are very happy here. The Vietnamese are wonderful
people, very warm, friendly, and welcoming. The country is
quite safe, and we never have to worry about security and
safety. Vietnamese food is some of the best in the world!
Even though this is a commuting contract, many foreign
pilots bring their families to live here with them. There are
many private schools, and they are all academically
excellent. Its a great place to raise children.
Flying for Vietnam Airlines has been fun and enjoyable. Its
fun flying, quite different from what Im used to in the U.S.
The Vietnamese culture permeates throughout the airline.
Im always treated kindly, with courtesy, and respect.
Theyre nice people, and this is a nice place to work.

Page 12 of 13

For my wife and me, this has been quite a memorable


experience. Weve made many friends, and we plan to stay
here through retirement.
I can recommend the
Rishworth/Vietnam Airlines contract to anyone interested in
contract flying.
