What I don’t understand is why they offer a temporary contract. Furthermore, they expect for you to learn Dutch, sounds like one of the terms for renewing the contract is the knowledge of the language.
Would you consider joining Transavia (on 737) with this conditions?
On top of that the 737 is phasing out for the 320 in the next years (official statement).
where do you see the temporary contract? Transavia does never issue temporary contracts for longer than the type rating + line training.
It is a 5 month probation period and on completion of your line training there will be a full time contract for you. They don't expect you to speak Dutch after only a TQ and line training.
If you start on the 737 you'll be trained for the A320 in the upcoming years. At no costs to you. No bond either. This will depend on your base and the pace of the Airbus phase in.
starting salary of well over 110k a year for type rated FO's with previous experience (2800hrs). And great secondary benefits like high pension contribution and an excellent loss of license insurance (combination of lump sum cash and permanent disabilities pay until retirement).
Off course it can be busy in the summer months. But in general it is a nice balance.
