Servus,
working for AB since 3years.
Conditions are sick.Pay is about German average as stated above,but as anyone knows,pay is not everything.
The good thing: Cockpit mates are very nice(90%)
The bad thing: You are treated like a robot,late check out,early check in (1-3pm not unusual),many proceedings (1-5h)by taxi after duty depending on your base.
DO is a joke,unions not welcome but there is right now a strong force to establish.
Many Captains as well as F/O leaving right now.Conditions getting worse.
I don think that they would have any problem with applications from U.K. for Stansted but I don think that they will open a base there soon.
For young F/O I think it a good deal because you can calculate with 900h a year.
Overall,nice cockpit buddies,but management sucks
For myself, looking for greener gras also...
Greets
