the 747-8 is finally on the way to luxembourg.
they have come to an agreement with boeing.
part time is possible but limited and subject to seniority. do not count on it. cargolux is usually short on pilots.
and as my personal opinion to those who are concerned if an expansion will take place or not:
i had no idea at all how long it would take me to upgrade until i was already hired. believe it or not.
as a f/o in cargolux you have a higher salary and more days off (not to forget other benefits) than most of you guys will ever have no matter if on the right or already on the left seat.
if you would belong to the remaining few percent, you would fly for a major carrier and most likely have no interest in following up this tread.
i gave up my command for more money and more days off. even after years i do not regret it for one minute. i will take gladly everything that comes on top. but even if this would never happen, i already won...
also it is unbelievable for me about which minor things some of you guys worry.
by the way, i do not have any doubts that an expansion will take place.
however, cargolux is very conservative. as this protects me as well as i have an other 30 years of work ahead, i can for sure live with it.
