1800 for junior fo with bond. Maybe around 3500€ in average for senior no bond. Between 2800 to 4500 depends how much you fly (All this net). Don't count on your **** mk pension, health insurance is **** you may need your own one.
Life in Skopje is quite nice, cheap, brand new furnished flat for 230 to 380€/month in centar. Haircut 2.5€, vegetable are good and cost nothing.Highly polluted some days during winter. Summer is nice. If interested 20on/10off roster available only in Skp. Very accessible base due many people leaving all the time due to high taxes and too low net salaries. Airport not so far away (25min) but to bring a car can be quite practical. Quite nice terminal with jetbridge for winter. Many destination from skp, but most of them to germany, sweden, so the route mostly always almost the same along the adriatic sea. (check the website) plus some W flight to and from other places. Sometimes very long duties but so far no overnight flight, you are at home every night.
Skp can be quite a challenging airfield, interesting for newbies.
Ambiance is good, colleagues very nice. Commuting not so easy but it depends where you live.
