NEWS FLASH
Argentinian low cost carrier Flybondi plans to wet-lease three Boeing 737-800 aircraft from Croatia’s ACMI specialist ETF Airways. The three jets are expected to be based in Cordoba. The airline intends to wet-lease a total of ten aircraft for the upcoming peak summer season in Argentina, which begins December 1. A wet-lease is a leasing arrangement whereby the lessor provides an aircraft, complete crew, maintenance and insurance (ACMI) to another airline.
I wonder how much do the crews getting paid for being in Argentina for a few months
ReplyDeleteal expenses covered, margaritas and good food.........
Deletewell done Croatia!!!
DeleteI would work for free to be based in Cordoba if my expenses are paid.
DeleteYou would work one flight, after the second week u will give up. Believe me
DeleteWhy do you say that, I'm curious.
DeleteCause the job is very demanding for u to do it for free.
DeleteLast time I checked the company was hiring for this job so you can ask them directly... it's a very good employer actually. Look it up ;)
DeleteUsually with ACMI airlines, it's fixed basic monthly salary plus flexible hours flown amount per month (normally 50-100), Usually ranging from 10 euro for junior cabin crew to 50 euro for commander/captain, plus non-taxable perdiems or part of perdiems, plus paid positioning ticket, plus paid accommodation (normally 4 star hotels) plus paid breakfasts included in room price. Also, it is not the same crews staying for entire duration of contract, especially in case of longer ones. Normally working pattern is ranging from 20-30 days working base 10-15 days off home. Of course if people want to stay in base longer without going home, it's usually welcomed and doable. Worked in 3 ACMI's, croatian and foreign and above mentioned are widely accepted standards
ReplyDeleteThis was reply to @XYZ. And for An.11.58 : for people like you there is always Croatia Airlines avaliable where all charms, joys and excitements of flying, travelling and enjoying new and different experiences equal zero
DeleteHaha well said!
DeleteWhat I said was that it's easy to say that someone would work for free if it is in Argentina. If u haven't done this job don't comment. Of course working there for the crew is a great experience, especially in ACMI carrier cause usually there are always in different place of the world. 20 days on, 10 days off is correct, they don't stay there for the entire leasing contract. But believe that nobody will work as a cabin crew for free. Even the salaries that are given now in some carriers are way low for the amount of job that we do. Let alone the radiation and other things that are bad for the health.

DeleteThanks for the explanation. My apologies. Understood you were saying under normal circumstances and conditions, not for free, what the guy before mentioned. I didn't take it into account at all because I couldn't even imagine anyone doing any job for free. And yes, people generally are not aware how difficult and sometimes underpaid are jobs done in the air, both pilot and cabin, each in its way. That's were we completely agree. However, ACMI and long-haul are the only two segments that offer some compensation for all disadvantages of
33.000-42.000 ft jobs, and that's where my criticism of OU was pointed.
What about people from South America? Is there a leisure search for flights here like in Europe? It seems that flybondi has a lot of flights to Brazil. Are these tourists? This is a very neglected region. But on the one hand, this is the beauty that few people know about the beauty of nature there. But it is simply very far from both us and the USA.
