It's not as easy as one might think. First of all, SXD (sunexpress Deutschland) is just a way of Lufthansa keeping a leg in the EU. They have not been doing much flying compared to our summer season and it's not looking that promising for them to grow.
Second of all, SXD requires a decent German fluency in their flight crew. Even if you have a EU citizenship, you'll still need a Level B2 or even C1 in German language.
Third and the last of all, SXD is one of the lowest paying companies operating in EU. A typical FO salary after tax will be around €2500.
So it's an obvious no go.
