Best commuting contracts?

[Say Again Over]

If I remember right they only want 500 on type. For my commute I use United, they have two flights a day from Hochiminh, if I book far enough in advance a ticket runs about $1200 for round trip to Vegas, I didn't come from a major so have no additional discounts to use.

They are working hard on flying to the US, maybe around the end of this year?

CX880, no 6/2 is not too good for commuting, but you can also choose a 5/3 or 4/4 schedule, salary is prorated from the $10,600.00.

Air Japan offers 10 days off per month with 24 days of vacation per year. Most of the guys with long commutes take 2 days per month to get 12 days a month at home. You are given $2000 in cash to buy a ticket or the company provides confirmed business class travel.

After all of the allowances, your 1st year FO pay is over $9000 / month. Taxes are up to you.

Oh, and you get to pick your days off with very few exceptions.

What are the allowances that are included in the $9000? Is the $2000 you mention for the ticket included in that $9000 and is it each month? Do they pay the $2000 even if you decide not to travel?

Which taxes? Just USA or do you pay tax to the Japanese as well?

Thanks

No Japanese taxes as you are not a resident and you are employed by a contract company that is not a Japanese company. Taxes are your responsibility depending on your citizenship / residency.

1st year FO pay is about $6160. 2nd goes up to $7200. Both are based on a 70 hour guarentee.

in addition you receive:

$2000 commuting or Business class. You get the money and can buy a ticket or use Zeds. You keep whatever you dont use.
$884 per diem
$500 housing
$550 retirement contribution

I think that is all. Everything is paid in cash and you spend it how you see fit.
