Interview with Vietnam Airlines A321 Captain Jesus Ponce 



This month we spoke to Captain Jesus Ponce, an A321 Captain celebrating 10 years with Vietnam Airlines and CAE Parc Aviation!  Here's what he had to say about living and working in Vietnam.

What do you like about working with Vietnam Airlines?

Vietnam Airlines offer a commuting contract that suits my needs.   Since I’m from the Philippines, just 2 hours away, I can easily visit my family on my days off every month.

Friendly co-workers here in VNA, good food and rich culture have kept me here this long. 10 years away from my family would not be possible if I didn't have my extended family here. I'm treated as a family member.  So the secret in staying long in any foreign country is to have a good support group and a friendly neighbourhood. We work on our assigned schedule and enjoy visiting the countryside during our days off.

What do you think about the career opportunities (LTC/TRI/TRE and wide body aircraft) in Vietnam Airlines?

Upgrading to other equipment or to an LTC/TRI/TRE position is purely based on performance and seniority, and one should be able to pass the screening process. Everybody is given a fair chance for an upgrade.

What made you stay with CAE Parc and Vietnam Airlines for 10 years? 

I've been here for 10 years now because VNA complied with everything that was stipulated in the agreement with them through CAE Parc. There is no perfect Airline - as I always reiterate with our new pilots here. To stay long and happy in any job is always a direct result of how we treat our colleagues no matter who and what their position is in the company. Respect is the key.

How did you feel when the crew made a surprise of celebrating your 10 year anniversary after your flight?

I was very grateful to CAE Parc prior to that flight when they let me sign an agreement for another 5 years. We don’t have any formal recognition here for working 5, 10, 15 years or more since we are all contractual employees. But to my surprise, my crew from my flight from Incheon back to Vietnam prepared a surprise during our flight. It was unexpected, and I was so grateful to them that they recognized my 10 year service with VNA.

How do you find living in Vietnam now? Thoughts on food, culture, people and lifestyle? Does your family like Vietnam? What is your favourite place to travel to in Vietnam?

In my 10 years here now, I have seen growth not only in terms of infrastructure but in tourist travel, too. Almost all our airports were upgraded with a much bigger terminal to accommodate the increase in tourist arrivals. Runway facilities were upgraded and some new parallel runways were also constructed.

My family loves the food and the closeness of Vietnamese families, their family ties have impressed us most. My family made a lot of Vietnamese friends and they too have visited my hometown in the Philippines. We have a lot of places to travel still left on our bucket list, but a visit to Dalat City, the flower capital of Vietnam, is a must for the new comers.

What is your advice to people applying to Vietnam Airlines through CAE Parc Aviation?

My advice to all my friends who wish to apply to VNA through CAE Parc is to finish all the necessary requirements needed and let the team do the rest. Be prepared for the screening and if you need anything in Vietnam, don’t be afraid to ask our CAE Parc representatives in HCMC for any assistance. Be friendly to everyone and by doing so, you will soon discover how friendly and helpful the Vietnamese are in spite of the language barrier.
