I am also thinking about leaving my job of 4 years to fly for them. I have been told the same, 900 hours a year and captains making over 10kEuros a month. Are there any pilots on the contract that can give an inside view on lifestyle on the contract.

How much are you away?
How do you cope on the money?
what is your quality of life like/ family life?
Are you left alone to fly out of your chosen base?
Are ther many standbys?
Do you get standbys away form base?
I guess these are unpaid?
Do you end up living out of a suitcase?
How stable is your roster?
Do you get paid for block hours flown or only those rostered?

This is a big move and a bit of a gamble but I guess you have to speculate to accumulate....

Any inside info would be a great help...

Thanks in advance...
