Avoid, avoid, avoid. !!!
I do not get it, plenty of jobs in Europe and you planning on dark Africa?
Talk to the Pilot Union, Ethiopian is corrupted, they violate every rule of ECAA, overwork their own local crews, disrespect rest times, and flying time limitations, they pretend they like to see pilot reports, nothing changes, you are caving into a dark hole and no protection whatsoever; Most recently the U.S Embassy posted some issues with Tifus and contaminated water, apart from checks on arrival about Ebola Virus spreading fast as Ethiopian cover several Congolese destinations. B737 flying is the most perilous, new copilots, new Captains, difficult network, lost of feedback on hard landings, and tail strikes, training is weak, management non existent, they are busy covering audits from IOSA, CAAC and others like GCAA in Dubai and Israel, about to decertify them for poor compliance of rules and procedures. Hard evidence on all these allegations for those who dare to discredit comment. And to answer your question, no days off during induction, you are looking at six weeks of training and then 20 days of continuos flying before you taste the 10 days off you are probably looking for.
