Hello, everyone,
With an interview scheduled as RCA, reading this post at length trying to find more information about terms and conditions, and also about "how it is" to actually work there.
I know about the low pay... I'd be taking a paycut for sure, but then, reading :
Lets say you started out as an FO 3 years ago on LH. You just upgraded to captain on the osm contract year 1. Monthly pay :
Basic 8125 £
Per diems 913 £
Lets assume 89 hrs for the month and 4 unused standby duties : 4091 £
Total : 13129 £ plus pension comes in at 5 percent.
Assume a 4th year FO who failed his upgrade and on a OSM contract : Monthly pay 7852 £ plus 5 percent pension..
and the fact that this is under the OSM contract that you sign after 3 years...
Seriously, I don't understand it... this is decent pay really... so:
- why would norwegian do that ?
- why don't they talk about it properly to attract more people ?
- is this really true ? This could be the make or break for me
On another note, they sent me some rosters, hotels are on there, I checked, its not that crap, and most layovers to california seemed to be 48h...
I would love to get more insight about all this...
Info about the OSM contract, and how it really is to work for NLH. How's the training ? The command course for an RCA. How long to the upgrade btw ? How's the atmosphere ? Are people happy at work ? How are the other pilots to work with ? How is the relationship with direct management, training, ground staff, the crew ?
Thanks :-)
