Hi all,

used to work for this company until 2014. Well, the positive things of the company are the roster and the possibility to fly a considerable amount of hours especially on the small ac. The roster used to be 16-14 which it's very appreciated by the pilots and the monthly average hours flown is not less than 20-25 (I personally reached 48 hours once).

The wage is the sore point: if nothing has changed in the last 2 years, a Cpt GROSS salary without per diems was around 38,500 euros and 27,500 for a FO. The salary was based mainly on the flight activity e.g. you got an additional sum of money (taxable) per each leg flown plus per diem (35€ per day only outside Austria, 26€ otherwise). To make the story short a Cpt used to earn something like 3,000 - 3,400 € net per month and a FO 2,200 - 2,600 net including per diems!

Low standard ops: The small fleet crews were often forced by the company to go over duty, to take "irregular" flights such as landing commercially on airports not suitable for landing purposes ecc.

In my opinion not properly a company for very professional pilots...

Take care!
