All I can say ( I haven't started yet) is that the time away from base is smaller than in my current company. Not too many stopovers (3-6 per month) due to the limited amount of dedicated stopover airports. During interview, all these questions can be asked freely without negative feelings. I had a very positive impression from chief pilot and HR.
Average price of accomodation in Paris area is 600-1000€/month for a 3-4 room appartment/house (north of Paris- Senlis area- within 30' of CDG).
Feeling in the cockpits/crewroom: I know 3 pilots there who are perfectly happy. The rest is personal and how You get along with people in general. Irish management style: work hard with a smile but the results are there. BTW: more flight time but less time away from home compared to present contract. The company is profitable and will remain for the coming years (100% AF property). Support by AF is very positive. Basically, the only thing CityJet has to care about is (Safe)Ops. Passengers are AF...
Due to company expansion, possibility to run a nice career in the next 5-10 years at CityJet.
Sounds interesting. What are some examples of night stops for the DUB and Paris bases? Does Cityjet fly EFIS-equipped 146s at the moment? How many sectors per day on average?
Personally, I've always fancied the Avro and thought it would be a fun bird to fly... Will the upcoming RJs be Avros or CRJ/ERJs?
Cheers
