Is there anyone based in Portugal who could help outwith the following:
What does a typical roster looks like in terms of sectors per day, montly flying hours, days off a month? Im also interested in ow muxh taxes you end up paying and where( Portugal, Ireland, somwhere else)
How is the balance for work and life in Portugal?
when can you request you bese to be changed?
Anyone who knows how the DEC interview is conducted?
Thanks a lot to everyone.
FRV roster (flexible roster, no fixed pattern), which makes commuting life almost impossible.
132 Days OFF per year guaranteed. .5/4 pattern subject to availability but you have to pay for it.
Base freeze 2 years for DEC, and 3 years for non-type rated DEC
High turn-over.
Mostly upgraders are "offered" Portugal or those fired from exBER, or cadets. Historically it has been always verty difficult to recruit those Portuguese bases as other EZY bases in the north of the peninsula offer much better T&C, e.g. pension schemes, and social security.
Be aware that some Portuguese contracts are only for seasonal (summer) flying.
The tax depends on personal circumstances. Very high unless eligible for a special tax regime.
Good luck!
