To nopoal and rock&go:
typical montly roster: 1x4 consecutive days off, 1 or 2 x 2 consecutive days off, 1 or 2 x 3 consecutive days off. No single days off, around 3-4 standby days. One can expect to fly about 16-17 days a month.
The salary figures given by el Sche are before tax. Taxes in Switzerland vary a lot from the Canton and village you're living. In general one can say they are probably among the lowest in Europe. Also depend on your family status, double income, etc. I think you can be anywhere in a range of 10 to 25%.
Average time to command 3-4 years the last 5-6 years. In the future... who knows... depending on expansion.
Leave days per year: 5 weeks.
Change of base: why would you do that?
Moral: in GVA is not at the highest level. BSL is good.
