HS Norway

The Scotia ABZ rosters are somewhat similar to HS, in Norway you get 5 days extra vacation on the equal time roster, on the 5/2/5/9 roster you get two weeks vacation, which means you get one month off during the summer.

With HS, travel and accomodation are included only during the training stage, after the line check you are on your own expense.. If you work a lot extra days (max 40xnok8000) and overtime, you can make close to NOK 1000000 from year one, but then taxes are insain, around 50%, expenses and morgage interests are deductable, brings the average young copilot down to about 40% taxes i believe.

Personally I wouldn't want to work for any other company, the aircraft are very well maintained, the training is exellent, the union has a strong standing, and after a few years the money is really good.
