13th and profit share not guaranteed, but this year we got both ( ps exact number not yet announced)
No lease required, housing assistance or however it is called these days is yours. 20k (17.5 after tax) will not cater for a suitable accomodation.
Everything the company pays you except per diem and pension contribution is taxable.Per diem depends on the destination, roughly 70-150 USD/day. Schooling expect a short fall of 500-1000 USD per child, inform yourself on debenture rules if applicable.
Hours depend on the fleet. Generally very high right now, some up to max 900. Bear in mind this can change anytime, and crucially the company can lift the threshold for productivity pay at their leisure.
Upgrade to CN depends highly on fleet and whatever number it is be aware this is a snapshot and not a reliable indicator for newjoiner. Airbus currently 6-7, Boeing 747 11. Right now the company is struggling to get back to the pre-covid fleet size, once this has been achieved (end 2025 ish), upgrade time will probably increase again, historically 11-12 yrs ish. SFO could be 2-3 right now, but not sure. In the past 4-5 on average.DFO and DEC are always a possibility.Be aware that assigned fleet is a lucky draw, and that includes later fleet changes and upgrade. It could be the 320, which to my knowledge offers zero productivity pay.
Again, the big risk is the variable factor in our "contract". Productivity pay threshold is completely at their discretion, expect them to ruthlessly adapt it to the current market environment. If at some point in the future they don't have manpower concerns anymore we are sitting ducks.
