I didn't accept the May assessment days, but am thinking of going there during June for the NTR FO B747.
- Does anyone know if the courses start frequently (ie. weekly basis) or are they gathering a backlog to start training after the Summer season?
- On the Confair website there is a mention of a fixed training allowance during CBT+TRTO+SIMs. Does anyone know the amount of the allowance?
A little confirmation needed to see if I have understood the "
salary" scheme correctly.
Let's imagine a scenario:
- I start the work with a fixed 21 ON / 12 OFF roster
- Let's say, they fly me out of my home on day #1
- I stay in a hotel in Frankfurt for 5 days
- I fly the B747 for 5 days
- I am on Standby in a hotel for 5 days
- I fly another 5 days
- They fly me back to my home
-
Do I get paid the varying daily fee (let's imagine 350USD) only for the 10 days flying the plane? Or do I get the 350USD for every day I am not at home (21 days)?
-
I suppose the per diems (let's imagine 85USD) are still for every day I am not home (21 days)?
Does anyone know how many hours 747 FO's are doing there now per year? And for the salary calculations I suppose I should ask how many flying days per year?
Background in RYR so not too afraid of the contractor scheme.. if the compensation is fair.
Thanks a ton!
Hi,
I dont know regarding compensation during training how that works these days.
Courses start regularly.
Pay say 21/14, regardless how much you fly during days on base, you get paid 21 days. Not only the days you fly, say 21x350 plus 21x85.
Hrs per year somewhere 500-600 hrs a year. Depending on roster pattern.
Going on and off base are part of the say 21 day, so paid. Off days off base are real off days.
Good luck and maybe see you 😉
