Regarding the T&Csīin Cargolux.
What kind of medical cover does the company provide you (and your family) with? (full care including dental care etc).
School?
Any freebies ie. company phone/internet etc.
Very interesting thread.

I would be most interested in having a glance at a typical schedule for a cargolux fo. I am considering what my chances would be to join in the future and would be grateful if someone could enlighten me as to what to expect!
Feel free to PM me, and (of course) to remove any indications as to whom belongs the actual schedule!
Thank you very much!

starting date course Feb/March
I have been told this week that nobody should expect to start in Feb for sure, March unlikely as well, more likely May at the earliest due to global economic situation and later arrival of 747-800s. So Jtanne, you replied yes but surely that cant be in reply to Feb/March starting date??
thanks
thanks

CTS: what happened to
"Well, itīs safe to say that weīre still desparately short of crews at the moment. The sooner the newhires start, the better it is.."
(that was in october)?
all due to the fincancial crisis?

Hello Cargolux pilots,
Little advice sought. Right to live and work in EU ( British national ) currently flying for a US cargo company in the -400 that, shockingly, is going to furlough me...... 5000TT, 250 on the -400, 2700PIC and +1000 Turbine PIC. Going down the conversion road presently. Would there be any benefit of calling your recruiters and pleading my case in my best A level German ( not Luxemburgisch mind you ), just to let them know I'm very interested and should be all converted within 4 months.
With a furlough looming I don't know whether to rock the boat or keep quiet and miss it? (Hint, our airplanes look like flying Chinese restaurants and we aren't well liked in EBBR....)
Thanks chaps.

Hey Guys,
does anyone know if Cargolux has put a hold on recruitment? I had an interview scheduled earlier this month, but it got postponed due to crewing reasons untill further notice. I haven't heard anything for 4 weeks now and was wondering if the current economic climate could have anything to do with it. In the coming weeks I will have to sign some new contracts with my current employer, so all information is highly appreciated....
and not to forget; merry christmas, hohoho!

Good day,
Does anybody have any info regarding recruitment for Cargolux for 2009. As mentioned on another thread here at Pprune, they are launching Cargolux Italia. Is that expected to have any influence on the situation?
Also it would seem strange that if hiring has come to a complete stop, why Interpersonal keep running the ad on itīs webpage.
While we are on the subject, IATA has published a big plunge in cargo transport on a global basis, does anybody know how Cargolux is coping in todays market.

Having good payloads is one thing ... but at what price? At costprice?
About the hiring:
I hear ALL kinds of things:
-NO hiring for 2009
-10 F/O's more needed
-40 F/O's more needed
