Anyone in the know....
Are they still hiring FO for accelerated command? 8600 total (8400 Jet), 6000+ wide-body, 1000 777 would I be in the ball park for that? Realistic time-line for UPG?
How much per-diem per month in average?
Thanks for the hassle!

They told me during the interview i would qualify for accelerated command with around 5000 hours narrowbody experience, just would need to do 1500 hours widebody and then i could apply for any upgrading available, however they also said that all upgrades for the next around 5 years are allready planned with those hired in the first few waves, with no further expansion in sight that could mean a long time on the right seat. So with your experience you certainly qualify.

Hello,
I got invited with Aerologic on the 24th & 25th of August. I booked 2 hours 737 NG sim with LuftHansa Flight Training in Berlin for Practise ( no Jet experience ). Does anybody want to share these Sim Hours ???
Thanks Ian

Without any Widebody hours you do actually not qualify for the rapid command as you need 1500h of that. This would take about 3 years and most of the A/Cs are delivered by that time.
@what_goes-up, you have all the requirements for the rapid command (5000TT, 1500h widebody and 500h on type), so if you speak german, I guess it will be less than a year

That's what I like the pilots community for... Thanks a lot for the replies!
One more thing. Of the 85'000 gross. How much would be the take home for family with 3 kids?

I don't know why companies like Aerologic doesn't write clearly in theirs pilot requirements that the applicants should speak/write/read GERMAN...
Air France always states in its pilot requirements that you should speak French for applying.
At the end the JAR license is a big lie...I have more than 5,000 hrs in heavy jets and I haven't received more than the acknowledgment application email but I don't speak German.
One of the worst guys in my company was positive initially in Cargolux...he is tall, blonde and of course he speaks German...but somebody saw his name in the positive list and complain because his very bad behavior and he was stopped.

Proficient in English, German desirable but
not mandatory

BTW: All emails I have received are in english.
@what_goes_up na dann is ja alles klar
As you might know the german tax system is not known as the easiest one,
it depends on a few factors, married and does your wife work or not, kids.
I would say with 3 kids your net should be around 60k per year, could be more, but 5k net per month plus per diem should be the minimum.

The site is in German, but that shouldn't be a problem for you.

Actually you can qualify for accelerated command with only narrow-body hours, however that basically means 2 years waiting (accumulating those 1500 hours widebody) and 5000€ more per year, mind you, that is still only 55.000€ a year if you do not have the rating, 60.000€ if you have. All commands for the planned deliveries are already pre-assigned with those they took on earlier anyway, so everybody joining now has to wait until someone retires or leaves the company to get a place.
