I was wondering for some serious advice. So, I may have posted on the wrong message board
I am applying for an EMB145 F/O position with an airline in the Ukraine. They are asking me about my pay requirements. I think this is a start-up operation and they haven't had experience with hiring pilots.
1. Does anybody have any idea what pilots are paid in the Ukraine?
2. Any ideas on what salary I should ask for?
3. Also, do I negotiate medical benefits, housing, moving, etc.?
4. Finally, how safe are airlines flying in the Ukraine. I remember flying Lithuanian airlines (neighboring country) as a pax and I felt very unsafe when they took off in a B737 that was covered in frost (body included) w/o de-icing
I was thinking of asking for a range of 60.000 to 70.000 euros per annum.
Your advice please.
