For new joiners, there is gateway lock for a year.

Ok thanks. It's been a while since I was a new joiner :) To be fair, that year will go by pretty quickly.

no worries! :)

Anyway, I don’t find this lock annoying. It even makes sense as the company is counting on your presence on this specific gateway. Looking forward to reaching that year and hopefully get ELLX, even temporary!

Probably in about a year.

Any news of another stage 3? Anyone is doing stage 1 or 2 at the moment?

So I can get a feel for how operations work in NJ, obviously, safety permitting, whatever the owner wants, you'll endeavour to do. That said how does it work if you were to scheduled to operate a 4 sector day, the first 2 sectors with one owner and the 2nd with another (assuming that's how it works), the first owner wants to return to departure aerodrome midway through the 1st sector because they forgot an important item or whatever reason, it doesn't matter - so, you turn back? Is it a case of essentially saying, absolutely no problem sir/madam and co-ordinating with ops to deal with the consequences for the second owner?

It may seem like a odd question but it's all well and good doing what one owner wants, but at the detriment of another owner? Or is that for ops to decide?

Thanks.

I have just been invited to an online interview and have set a date. I was sent an email a few days earlier saying I was in the holding pool and they would continue processing into the new year so I guess its ongoing. I haven't done any psychometrics yet so I guess that's next, then the in-person stuff.

impossible to answer that generally. Normally if the passenger wishes to return and it's doable it will be done. If someone forgot his passport for example you can't really deny this request because the outcome at the next destination might be worse than the returning and relanding. But that all depends on various factors such as MLW, Weather, duty times, opening hours of the aerodrome,etc. After landing you would normally call the company and ask them what to do. The bigger the company is the better the options for the remaining missions. New crew, new aircraft and reschedule, etc is all possible.

You check your MLW ,you duty limitations,your fatigue level, speak to your colleague about his. Then pick up the phone and call the company....they do the rest

Hi,
Can anyone share some feedback about the assesment in Farnborough, day 1 and day2?
Can you confirm whether the starting basic salary of 58k Eur per year is gross or net?

I think being able to scroll back and read old posts is a highly appreciated skill 😉

Forgive me if this already mentioned above (I tried searching for it unsuccessfully), but is there a bond on the type rating for new joiners? Anyone know the bond terms roughly?

Cheers!

There have been bonds in the past. The terms were reasonable and reduced over time. What will be offered now, I don't know.

New Joiners salary
 

Hi. Can anyone confirm what is the NET monthly salary for a new joiner whose gateway will be VIE or anyway Europe? I read about the 58.5K per year plus per diem plus bonuses. Gross?

Hi everyone,

this thread is a wealth of information - thanks to all NJE pilots who shared some insights.

I was wondering what kind of contract would you get when you select a german gateway? UK? Portuguese? Local german?

Would be great to get some info 👍🏻

Depends on the social security contributions and local tax rules in your country but circa 3500e basic plus about 1000e in per diems so about 4500e NET/month. Bonus is paid once a year in Feb based on your flying hours the previous year so it's difficult to say.

All gateways get UK contracts except for Portugal based crew that get Portuguese contracts.

Yikes, not ideal for UK based crew. Still, if you're in for the money, then NJ isn't right for you.

Ok if I get this correctly, with a german gateway you are considered to be a tax resident in germany under the UK-German DTA and will pay taxes only in germany and arrange Tax Code NT with HMRC in the UK. Social Security will be payed in the country where you are based, so for what its worth you pay taxes and social security like any other german employee. Does this sound right?
