Aegean DEC

[Cirrussy]

The job market is looking pretty good at the moment with plenty of opportunities out there. Whilst weighing up my options, I notice that info is sparse on here regarding Aegean.

Does anyone have any information regarding rostering, common basings, etc for Airbus DECs? It looks like they have an interesting route network.

Why are they needing to hire DECs if it’s such a good gig?

(I have the details on the financial package already)

Thanks

I think you answered your own question there. The pay is too low to keep people and they are losing more people than they have capacity to train.

They have been advertising for a very long time. Do you mind sharing the pay details here or by pm? I know they have 2 contracts, one for locals and one for foreigners.
I am interested on the contracts as well, if you don't mind sharing.
Thanks

If it's just the financial package that lets them down, it seems such a shame that they won't increase it. The pay (especially considering that pension contributions are going to have to come out of your net pay) does leave a lot to desire.

On the other hand, a warmer climate sounds good... And before you go there - I'm not going to the sandpit!

Yes that doesn't make much sense to me, either. I wondered if maybe their office was in Switzerland?
