Bob down, I DO work for EZS as many here will verify and the figures I've posted are absolutely spot on - your 'mates' are lying to you. A 90 hour month means you're stealing money from another month since the legal annual maximum is 900 hours and the company target for a full time pilot is 850. So that's 70 hours a month on average. 65 CHFs an hour X 70 hours = 4550 CHFs. Thrown in 5 standbys at 150 CHFs a standby = 5300 CHFs. Pay tax and all deductions and whaddaya got? Bingo.
EasyJet Switzerland is a franchise that operates under a seperate AOC. The benefits are, to name a few, being able to operate in lucrative, stable Switzerland, low/no corporation tax, being able to operate routes like TLV, AYT and possibly DME, sending money through the company and simply having a spare AOC. Probably a lot more complex stuff I don't know about. To the pax they know no different.
