Hi Giggey,

After the new airline was not able or willing to employ enough of the present
Olympic Airlines pilots, and with the starting date for their operations approaching soon, now they are looking for pilots from the EU.
There is a job ad in the Flight edition of Aug 4th. All positions advertised for type-rated pilots with some experience on type.

Obviously they are already aware of the tax privilege for pilots being cancelled soon, so fair enough, they talk about a Low tax rate (current), meaning you might end up with considerably less to take home after the tax reform.

What I have heard so far about the contract offered, did not seem attractive to me, however go and judge for yourself.

For some it might be an opportunity, since a lot less than expected pilots from Olympic Airlines opted to join the new outfit. They are rather looking
to transfer to the HCAA, keeping a permanent position in the public sector.

All the best to the new company, and the fellow pilots who join them.
