U RZZZZZZZ!
A lot of spin in my opinion!

4K is a realistic Y1 take home salary. You will only reach 4.5k with no pension contributions and some overtime.

SH commands have come down, but as they said, expect a 3yr + wait as the senior guys start to bid back. Seniority is king!
In addition, if you are assigned a LH fleet you will be engagement frozen for a minimum of 5yrs and therefore unable to successfully bid for a SH command. The company will always prioritise right to left. If you want a quick command, you will have to join on SH Airbus.

Roster control is pretty much gone with the introduction of EASA, just ask those who have just had their first EASA trip line wiped. As a junior pilot life will be very tough!
If you want 35days off consecutively, good luck!
Seconds thoughts, there is the option of becoming a rep (trip line 0) and enjoying the bidding perks that way. At least one regularly enjoys this level of time off. 🙃
