You've gotta be kidding, £28,000 is undercutting the job by about £20,000.

I feel sorry for the poor captains these guys will be flying with. DHL ought to be recruiting experienced first officers and they should be paying the going rate.

They are also recruiting experienced guys and paying them the going rate ie £44k+. This salary scale is for inexperienced guys. A lot of airlines have seperate scales for FO;s compared to Senior FO's. The fact they have to lower their standards to employ inexperienced people is more an indicator of the current market and of low morale and limited appeal as opposed to salary. At the end of the day the choice is there, apply or don't.

Hi there!

All questions following now are related to DHL Air UK... I ask again since the previous pages did not clearly state if it was about EAT or DHL.

Could one please clarify if you need a rating to be considered as experienced FO or is just the TT and time on Jet relevant?
So would one with 2300+ TT and 2000+ on Jet be in the 44k or 28k salary scheme?
Since PPJN states under Rosters: "Unusual rosters due to 40+ pilots leaving" can anyone please comment on how many days OFF is normal and how many days/nights you work.
Let's say you live in LEJ, is it a good company to fly for (besides the smoke/smell in the Cockpit mattter)?

Cheers,

HJ

28,000 to start with is not the problem - that's fair enough, consider they pay for the TR.
Someone said here that the increments are 2,000 a year without mentioning any jump to an f/o salary at any point.
If you are saying that there is a jump, or someone with ATPL can join directly on an f/o pay that's another story - that a good alternative for the charters or EZ, for example.

To follow on from the previous posts, this question is regarding DHL UK payscales.

What salary would be reasonable for a 2000 hour guy with a recent heavy turboprop command ? 28K was hinted at at interview. Would love to move to the 757 but if that salary is correct I couldn't afford the move across

Hogg

Would have taut so. From what I understand an experienced pilot in their eyes is the holder of an atpl or 1500 hours tt or 500 hrs jet.........I stand to be corrected. Maybe neil armstrong would have a better idea.
Eh Neil?

neil armstrong

Here i am,

I would think that anybody with more then 1500 hours would be paid the normal salary.
but i'm not sure the hours are set in stone.

Good luck with applying

Neil

Many thanks Hogg and Neil A for the promt and informative answers, if those payscales are applicable and the Sim goes well, there will be no problems moving to DHL.

Dear SNAM....EAT salary depends on your belgian contract. If you're a belgian ...expect 2000€/month after taxes (also after paying your belgian pension contribution) on top you get perdiems (count on 600€/month net)...if you're a non belgian you can get a belgian ex-pat contract ...so add 30% net ....these are initial salaries. There's an initiative going on by belgian carriers to reduce taxes for crews (to avoid the belgian crews to flee to other outfits...non belgian) ...for info...also the professional sporters threatened to leave belgium and they got a taxrate of 18% (before it was 55-60%) ...so pretty soon all might change for the better.
