EAT

Hello all,
here just a few tips for EAT:
- an F/O takes home 4000-5000€ (before tax!) a month. Not the best, but you start on a widebody and you're in Europe. In Germany, the company is after LH, TUI or Condor one of the best options you can choose!

- Communting is hard, but people do it. Everything up to 3-4h by Car is possible. Many of the new hires moved to Leipzig, not the worst city to live in.

- you have standby60 and standby airport, which means you have to have an apartment nearby. Many people share them.. A few people also live in Berlin, and depending were you live, you can make it in 90min to LEJ.

- you do yourself a favor (a very big one!!!) by saying during the interview, that you want to move to Leipzig. They can choose between a huge variety of pilots.

- not all the new hires come to the 300, some go to the 57. But, I would prefer the 300 and youŽll like it.

- Roster: different from fleet to fleet, but you can expect on the 300 7on/7off. It is true, that you make only 300h a year. You have a lot of night flying. You fly flights in Europe, but there is also one A300 right now in Bahrain (although you can say no to these OPS, people do it).
