Question Air Contractors - current situation

Quote from ppjn:

"Current Situation: In need of more FOs on the ATR due to internal upgrades, pilot turnover"

I've heard a few good things about this outfit and I am looking at applying for a job with them. Apparently they are the best paying TP operator in Europe and you can be based anywhere. Is that so? Can someone give me an idea how much a new FO can expect per month after tax, including duty pay? Also I would appreciate a brief elaboration of "anywhere", for example I live in the Midlands, UK, could I be based here?

I know the recruitment criteria for F/Os used to be 1500 hrs TT, 500 on type, is that still the case? I have 900 hrs total with 440hrs on ATRs, will they be interested?

Finally what is the recruitment and line training process like? What is the atmosphere like in the company? If anyone could describe a typical working day/week/stop-over etc. with the good and the bad points I would really appreciate it.

I am awayting your posts. Thank you in advance.

Mike
