Working Conditions

For those of you interested in working for Aegean Airlines. I cannot comment on Captain contracts because those are on a person to person basis. For someone as an FO:

-monthly pay of 2100 Euro a month all in after tax.
-approximate flying hours per month 85-100 (no overtime)
-9 days off a month (5-6 on and 2 off)
-duty hours for the month 150hrs+ (expect Dead Heading almost everyday)
-Over nights 1-5 per month (30 Euro National, 60 Euro Outside Greece) Taxed 40%
-Expect to be layed off at the end of the contract (no compensation)
-Early and Lates in the same week
-Schedule is changed often (an early can be switched to a late the night before and vice versa)
-A few standby per month (in Greece standby do not count as Duty)

This is a general view, I am not being harsh nor easy on the company policy.
I hope this gives some of you a view of the working conditions and can compare it to your current employer. If you have questions private message me.

Good Luck to everyone.
