What are the terms and conditions for a new hire ?
First of all, i guess you mean the part of germanwings that flies the A320 family. The CRJs are in a different company.
Well then, Germanwings is a lufthansa company, flightdeck crews are solely hired through their own cadets from the lufthansa flight school. Lufthansa pays for the whole training, however once a cadet get a flight deck position he has to pay back part of that training, he can choose how much he wants to pay back and in turn the duration of paying back.

New hires are full time only, however they can choose to fly part time after 6 months if they wish to, that is something everyone in germany has by law.

Monthly, including 80 hours. Overtime will be paid if more than 80 hours are flown. Additionally there is a loss of license, pension fund contribution, transitional pay scheme paid by the company.
