I agree AUTOFLIGHT !! But as you said
...this was in the earlier days...
Nowadays CONTRACTAIR is just another "poor" agency. They distroyed their previous quite good reputation just within a short time. Don't know why. Maybe financial difficulties

As mentioned in previous posts, delaying the payment and/or refusing to pay part of contractual pay is just one side of their new-Contractair-philosophy-story.
Another experience with them, but this was also during the good earlier days, if everything is running fine, Contractair is fine, but if there is just a small contractual issue coming up, they drop you just like a hot stone - and you feel very, very alone.....

No support from them. Nothing.
On top of that, guess they cash every month 1500 Euros from your contract - for what ?
Next time I will try to go direct with the airline and "share" the 1500 Euros with them instead throwing it into the greedy mouth of Contractair.
nothing to add to flyrider's
..be very careful...
....if you have no other choice to get a job, but with Contractair only
