I am not quite sure, that time when he showed me the payslip, he is just flying the A320.. He just started flying the A340 not long time ago.
Maybe his basic now increase to RM6K perhaps? or maybe you can confirm and share with me since you are a pilot with AA too?

i'll ask around. if he flying a320, 5k sounds about right. but i think basic for a340 is around 11k like that.

Walan, RM11K so much? (inclusive of basic and allowances or wat????)
Apparently, he is not under AirAsia-X (which fly the A340), he is employed under AirAsia only; he only occasionally fly the A340 (maybe once a week as most of the time, he will be flying the A320).
I am also curious about his most current salary but I dun met him quite often as he is on the sky most of the time.

Hi all,

Am just an SPM-leaver now heading for college. Pretty undecided on which path I should opt for. Kinda interested in engineering field.

No offence, but judging from most of your salaries here, I'm not sure if I should be an engineer.

What exactly is the job prospect here in Malaysia? RM2-3k for a fresh grad seems like a lot but after several years the pay raises slowly. It takes many years to get a 5figure salary, or so i heard.

From what I heard, if you take on specific engineering fields like chemical or aeronautical, your pay would definitely be way more handsome. Most of my friend's parents abandoned the engineering field before 30yrsold due to what seems like a bleak future it holds.

What say you guys?

i dont think its include allowance. it should hit up to 15k i think. you know how much capt b747 MAS made in a month? 40k++....a340 is wide body aircraft so the salary for capt for that fleet is about that also and co-pilot maybe around that 11-15k depends on seniority. i heard first officers on board 777 make about 20k+ a month.

but as you said your relatives is not under Airasia X, 6k basic sound rite for a320. since airbus has standardized their type rating which mean if one have type rating on a320, he can fly a318 up to a340. thats why AA choose to use airbus. save cost from training their pilot in case they buy new plane.

Nature of this jobs is hectic and rush, salary sounds decent for entry level staff. do u OT a lot?

what will u do if these fellas tell u at 29 u should earn over 9000 liao? <-- thats what i mean. some of my fren stunning me with their digits... almost double of my salary.

should i be greedy ??? hahahahaa

If you really feel underpaid, then you won't stay in the same Co. for 7 years.

When I dissatisfy the job load with my paid & the benefit, then is time to get a new job.

Think again.

are they in the same line? my group of frens all grad in IT, years later many still earning mediocre, some high pay as professionals, law of averages still holds.

exactly, something is making u stay. be it learning, comfort, frens/gf, only u know.

we all have aspire. how we want to achieve them, up to individuals. but nvr sit there and be content, or u will be out of the job market sooner than u think.

then thats pretty good for now.
