I did it at home indeed. Unfortunately cannot disclose what was shared as you have to sign for not sharing information regarding the assessment. Look up at DHL/EAT Forum. There are explanations about what comes up in the BQ.

interesting, I haven’t had any email after the one at the end of Jan saying I fit the bill and they will decide whom to invite in the coming weeks.
I hope they aren’t done inviting.
do you know from these people who attended the BQ if it’s done from home ? If not where is the assessment ?

Hi all,
Can anyone tell me of what test the BQ for DHL Austria consists of?
I have bought the Sky test BQ-IP, but there are so many tests.
Maybe someone can help me which ones to practice
Also anyone has info about the ATPL questions?
Thanks alot my friends.

Hi,
I recently passed the BQ and would be very grateful if anyone could give his/hers estimate on how long it takes to get an upgrade (don’t know if previous command experience helps to expedite the process). Also, a rough estimate of FO salary would be appreciated (perhaps via PM if not willing to disclose it on public forum).

If you are looking for a quick command, this is the wrong company. Commands are strictly on seniority list and there are lots of experienced FOs.
Its difficult to give an estimate, but I would say 3-5 years minimum, of course depending on fleet expansion.
FO salary is around 6300-6500€ 14x per year on which 13. and 14. salary is taxed with just 6%, you will end up with around 4200-4500€ net per month,
but you might pay additional tax in your home country, depending where you live.

I have friends flying there on the Old DHL UK Contract now flying for DHL Austria.
No more 1 week on 1 week off. Now more like Flexi Roster.
If you live far from LEJ, good luck commuting.
Pay has immensely decreased. It is presented as same pay as old contract, but they wont tell you that you have to fly your guts out to make the same.
No way you can go to Block Roster week on week off and possibility to go part time.
My friends make about 100K before tax as FO's. This was achieved in about 3 to 4 years. Forget about it now with new contracts.
Schedules are tough. Pilots complained about certain rotations because those rotations made them extremely fatigued.
In DHL UK there was an external organisation investigating these rotations on Fatigue. Austrian DHL got rid of that organisation and doing it by themselfes, well, you know what happens then. Its like the butcher rates its own meat.
Lot of fatigued pilots as a result. Even with burn outs etc.
What happens also is that when you expect a certain rotation where you do 2 legs operating and then the last leg deadheading, they change it last minute in operating. Imagine how you feel then.
This info comes directly from my friends flying there.
