Bear11,
please check the usd versus euro charts for the last year...
My chinese airline pays net 11750 usd(8800 eur)+an average of 7000 eur/year bonus so a minimum net of 9400 eur/month.
This doesnt include fuel saving bonuses,and 105 eur net per hr over 80.
So the 6000 eur is poor for todays market.
Thats why i refused a position offer with a turkish carrier.
And the dlr tests dont make people good pilots!!!its just an exercice that you train for, just like the atpl theory.it is mainly an extra test for airlines to select inexperienced pilots and reassure themselves their potential new recruits will pass their indoor trainings.
