Luxair is not the quality airline anymore people know from the 90's.

Rooster: Worst in the industry. Only 10 days of a month. Non flexible schedules. Before your off days you always end late and after beeing off you will start very early. More then 160 hours duty a month on Embraer! Absolutely not possible to combine this job with a social live outside Luxembourg! No improvement forseen due to lack of union structure in Luxembourg.

FO Salary: Starting at 2900 E before tax excl flightpay ( +/- 300 E ), 3900 E excl flightpay after 8 months. Looks good. But compared to other jobs in Luxembourg it is not enough. A simple state employee makes more. A 3 room appartment around the city will cost you around 1500 E a month. Cost of living is around 30% more expensive the Germany/Belgium/France.

Time to command: Maybe 6 years to get command on Dash or Embraer. 25+ years to get command on boeing. Some guys will never become Captain on the boeing.

Routes on Dash: Mainly Frankfurt, Paris, London City. In summertime also Barcelona, Roma and some charter destinations.

First Interview is straight forward. Just an introduction about Luxair and some personal questions.
