CC, if you signed the contract, how come those questions???
Anyway, here's some help:
- flow from this year, about 600 hours
- extra if over 150 duty hours/month (but I never got over that limit (until now

) and there is no such bull as "guaranteed salary after taxes"

- still valid
- no compensation
- paid out 1st year F/O will be about CHF4200.-. This will be a typical amount, including all expenses, retirement scheme deducted, before any tax or insurance.
- Swiss pilots income tax of 12.6%?

yes you will pay the French tax (that includes the "securite sociale" amongst other things, no?)
So, considering that you live and eat in France, you will have a good salary, this for a fantastic job
Good luck and good start
