CPT with EAT LEJ
Hi, I am sorry to bother.
I am just about to complete my application with EAT LEJ. I am skipper with 6500tt 5500jet and 2000Pic on jets over 70t but not Type rated with very basic german.
Can anyone state:
-Pay after tax for new captain
-7/7 roster real?
-possible commuting by car about 250km?
-TR self funded?
and most important, are doors still open for guys with above background?
Thank you
klokan

Grrrrrrrr these Germans are always so obsessed with their DLR tests.
Make sure that your company does not fall in german hand otherwise the DLR test will be implemented.
Few years ago i applied with EAT in Brussels and that was just an interview and sim check.

Commuting LIS - LEJ

Hi there Silvair,
Congrats about your success in DHL.
Can you give us all a short briefing about the interpersonal/DLR test? Is it really a DLR? What about your track record, are you fluent in German and rated in B757?
Once again, congratulations and have a good start.

Commuting LIS-LEJ-LIS will be tough, think very carefully!
Quite a few doing it already so competition for Jump-Seats - From LEJ it will be via VIT, coming to LEJ it will be via BRU - not a short night communting before operating!
Have a closer look at the Spanish network and see if it's easier (MAD, SVQ, VLC etc etc)

Just a quick update on the A300-600s. The order is for 13 frames, the first 2 of which are already undergoing conversion in Dresden and will be delivered around October this year. Balance of order to be delivered in 2012. All 13 frames bought and paid for already, none taken by a phantom US company. There are more than 13 frames available from the batch they came from so that might be what spawned the rumour.
There's nothing in works about A320s for DHL, but a leasing company (forgot the name) are in the process of starting the conversion with an order from TNT. Saw a piccy somewhere recently of the first frame getting prepared for the cutter.

It may be possible to jumpseat via VIT but be warned its a long way around. We (DHK) do LEJ-VIT-LIS (day stop) LIS - BRU - LEJ.
In short it would be a pain and probably not an option. However other parts of the company operate between LEJ and VIT so maybe possible.
Best of luck.

Recruitment is definitely NOT done. We're taking 8 a month for the next year or so! What will limit start dates is the availability of trainers so the pool might be used to hold people until a course is available.
LHS slots are available on a contract basis and I hear there may be some permanent DEC's on the future.

Please be aware that any positions will be permanently based in Leipzig , Germany and you would be required to relocate to within 45 miles of Leipzig . Commuting will not be an option and in addition, there will not be any opportunity to return to a UK base in the future.
Kind regards

They are still letting people commute, since the announcement of the German tax for those living in Germany several of the lej based crews have opted to commute in from elsewhere. With the company's knowledge.
Bit hard to stop people living where they want, providing they can satisfy the time/distance requirements for sby duties and report for duty properly rested. Which means one of: B&B, hotac, apartment, something else. Rentals in/near lej are cheap. Lots of people make it work.

DHL Air UK and EAT Leipzig are two different companies with different contracts and salary ; so the answer is no
The last guys who were hired ( both DHL Air and EAT ) had no experience on type. ( not in EAT , maybe some for DHL Air ).

Hi guys,
I need urgently do make a decision towards DHL AIR but some info is still missing.
For example does anyone have a roster from DHL Air (LEJ) that I could have a look. One thing is what these brokers are selling but other is reality. I need to commute from LIS and that would be very helpful.
Please feel free to PM.
Thanks in advance
Miguel
