So out of curiosity, I dug around for NAI pay. What I could find was $90 k starting and captains topping out at $160k. Starting pay doesn't seem that bad, but virtually no health insurance, retirement, etc. One place said schedules were 5 on 3 off, another said 5 on 4 off. Either way, not tons better than my crappy regional schedule. The only upside is that I read somewhere about 5-6 weeks of vacation. Also, keep in mind these pay rates are for a 787... Not a narrow body airbus or 73. Also, lots of forums with European pilots decrying how bad the work rules are at nai. I can only imagine it's like flying for a typical us regional, but in a 787.

Right now Bangkok is the only base.

I honestly think almost all pilots would be better at a major, lcc, or even as a senior RJ captain...
