Not really judging by the crazy turnover this month especially on FO side. They are struggling a lot to find people to fly in India which is the main base for this winter (BOM, BLR and soon DEL). 10/15 aircrafts in total but as for now, the money is quite good and you are all inclusive. They are increasing slowly but surely the salary (as for now around 6200€/month for FO < 500h, with double or triple off day removed meaning 1100€ (triple) a day for CP and 470€ for FO > 500h. You can make up to 10k/month as a FO if you don't go home.
About bases, I don't think you can agree something but they try to make logicial choices yes.
