DHL one of the better jobs in the UK. Is 80% night flying,however now summer is upon us more daylight sectors. One tends to start on a Sunday afternoon and would return to EMA on Thurs possibly Fri, or start on a Mon night 2300 ish and finish back at EMA fri night/sat morning 0300ish.

As an F/o you would not be working that hard probably 12ish days off per month plus when finishing at 0100 and starting late in the evening this really is an extra 2 days at home when on days off.

Leipzig will not change anything just commuting to there instead of BRU.

Excellent type to have on licence, you get the 767 for free aswell.

Salary £36k for year 1 then £41+ year 2. £2.30 flight pay per hour roughly £6k per yr.

Generally in bed by 6am sleep till lunchtime and leave 8pm ish back to BRU,EMA or CGN then on someplace else.

All the big airports in Europe,the warmer sunnier ones are served by our colleagues in Belgium.

Generally a happy ship, some F/o's recently got into BA so some vacancies. People recently recruited have been slightly older and turboprop freight background. Them in HR worried about youngsters movin on.

Ideal if you arent bothered about lots of hours and don't mind long turnarounds.

Management are nice bunch.

Gotta be within an 1and 1/2 hours of EMA on SBY. People live all over the UK and Europe so you'd probably not have to relocate.

Hope this helps.
