I have friends flying there on the Old DHL UK Contract now flying for DHL Austria.

No more 1 week on 1 week off. Now more like Flexi Roster.

If you live far from LEJ, good luck commuting.

Pay has immensely decreased. It is presented as same pay as old contract, but they wont tell you that you have to fly your guts out to make the same.

No way you can go to Block Roster week on week off and possibility to go part time.

My friends make about 100K before tax as FO's. This was achieved in about 3 to 4 years. Forget about it now with new contracts.

Schedules are tough. Pilots complained about certain rotations because those rotations made them extremely fatigued.

In DHL UK there was an external organisation investigating these rotations on Fatigue. Austrian DHL got rid of that organisation and doing it by themselfes, well, you know what happens then. Its like the butcher rates its own meat.

Lot of fatigued pilots as a result. Even with burn outs etc.

What happens also is that when you expect a certain rotation where you do 2 legs operating and then the last leg deadheading, they change it last minute in operating. Imagine how you feel then.

This info comes directly from my friends flying there.
