1. No

2. Yes

3.Are you referring to the loss of income scheme? If so i believe it is from joining but I've not tried it out.

4. Seniority is from Day 1

5. You can submit for "right to request" part time at any time. The "aspirational" part time is an annual bid. I would plan on being full time initially but be hopeful that might change.

​​​​​​6. Yes. You will have to waive your right to industrial rest requirements (2 days off after a longhaul trip) and bid for trips that have 0 Local Nights rest requirements afterwards (like ABV LOS ACC NBO RUH BAH DOH DXB) to put another trip right after it. How consistently this works being junior under JSS is anyones guess...

7. Those were correct at end of 2024. They will be very slightly higher now after 2 small pay rises this year, and an increase to FPS (hourly pay).

8. Yes, when they open for applications you can apply. Copilots can be TRI/TRE and captains can be TRI/TRE/LTC.

9. 4500ish​​.

Hope that helps

1 - Does the company pay for your accommodation during initial training (i.e. ground school, simulator and line training)?

2 - Do you get full pay from day 1?

3 - Do you get full insurance from day 1?

4 - Does seniority count from day 1 or only after simulator / line training?

5 - Do you get part-time options right away or are these based on seniority / somehow limited?

6 - Can you work back to back (i.e.) minimum rest to benefit from longer periods of days off?

7 - Is this payscale still applicable? (https://www.linkedin.com/posts/jaidi...ium=member_ios)

8 - Is it possible for a new hire to become instructor during first years after joining? (Simulator as F/O, line training if joining as a DEC)?

9 - How many pilots (ballpark number) does the airline have?


Thank you all
