I applyed for them since one year ago, i update my application, regulary. No answer until now
|
From what I heard (two buddies flying there), morale is low: people working 25-26 days a month right now. A lot of people leaving towards Middle East because they cannot get a stable roster/social life with Cargolux...
Time to command is another reason for them to leave:more than 12-13 years. Hiring resumed to normal process now. Cheers, Chewy |
Wow that's not good. I thought they recieved 10 days off every 28 days and could attach leave to those days. Has that system gone?
|
No it's not. And it is not even practiced unless you are one of the greedy ones
who sell all their off-days! |
Chewwy
Chewwy, If you don't know what you're talking about, don't say anything then.
From what I heard (two buddies flying there), morale is low: people working 25-26 days a month right now. People who're working flat out are selling their OFF days, this is a voluntary thing so if your buddies are complaining about this, they're the only ones to blame. A lot of people leaving towards Middle East because they cannot get a stable roster/social life with Cargolux… Time to command is another reason for them to leave:more than 12-13 years Maybe morale has been better but this has nothing to do with the arguments you came up with… := |
why quit CPT at CARGOLUX?
INDRAPOERA, it seems you know what you are talking about.
What I don't get is, why would ANYONE leave the left seat position with cargolux, as its payed more that any ME airline, plus the pension is massive which only comes on top...? unless you are from ME, i really can't see why someone would leave... can you please explain, if you know the guys? thanks man |
cheeck, thanks for the info...
Obviously, even in CLX its not all roses, but of course it depends on the individual what they want from life... |
pay system
Good day,
what sort of gross and net pay can I expect as a new joiner FO, what sort of increments do you have? also, what is the net pay for a year 1 capt. Married, no children. Thanks |
Have they resumed Karachi?
|
Regarding the floating days off: Do they "move" around quite a lot even when you're close to them, say 3-4 days to go? Also can the company replace those floating days off with work if they wish and move them to a later roster or do they have to give you them in that 28 day period?
Could anyone be so kind to pm me an example of a roster? Much appreciated. Thanks, Wireless |
Local media are reporting CV pilots starting a "work to rule" action in response to rumours of out-sourcing jobs, etc.

Yowsers! (Sorry if already up...I'll delete if so)

Just came across the video, even test pilots do not dare something similar. Never flew the queen of skies but looks scary. |
So that's why the flowers for sale in my local shop all have squashed heads, petals missing.

Hi Morane, I'll have the test in November. Could you tell me more about the small talk and the case study please?
Thank you. |
Salary cut?
couchpotatoe,
I have been reading cx thread for several years now, so as far as I have seen in previous posts, you are a credible person... I have received an email they will call me for assessment soon, however if what you are saying is true, i aint coming... Is this the result of recent union negotiations? Are these conditions now black on white, or is something being considered? Thanks |
One should be aware that starting 2016 an accommodation no further than 90 min driving time away from base will be legally required (EASA FTL), and to be proven by the pilot (hotel room is sufficient).
Commuting from further away will then require an apartment nearby, or a hotel room before each rotation. TNT pays for the hotel at base, I think Cargolux don't. |
What's the honest latest with Cargolux recruitment?
I waited years to be in a position to apply to them. I've had an application with Cargolux for nearly 2 years. I've rung interpersonal and they just say the application is still waiting to be viewed by Cargolux, nothing they can do. It's not even been looked at. Yet I read they are still recruiting. I can't understand it. B744 rated, 3500 hours total, EASA ATPL. Only thing I can think of is my UK address puts me at the bottom. I keep a keen eye on all references to CV. I see the ppjn reference says they're still recruiting but the future is uncertain. |

I was just re reading few posts back...
1 passed first stage, waiting for second stage. Couchpotatoe, you were saying if you get in before conditions get worse its ok, and otherwise its a tough decision. I try to undersand this as more sooner than later, CWA will be signed and conditions will be ****. What does this mean for people on the old contract, ie if yours is signed before this new deal? I thought everyone is in the same both and all conditions will reduce, regardless of you having old or new contract? In my company we have a contract with employer and then base agreement "contract" and that can change (ie small increase in basic pay, per diems, etc) but not the contract basic salary ( it technically can also, but historically never has so, but i didnt keep up with inflation either) This CWA, what does it represent, an entire employee contract? So in that case it affects only ppl that come after it has been signed and ppl prior that are still "ok" ... Future seems uncertain Thanks |

Well, honestly, i did selection in ams on monday and got told tuesday i fit the requirement for cargolux and waiting now for 2nd stage.
At my selection, there was only 1 other applicant; cca 55-60 year old guy, i beleive he was going for cargolux italia as DEC, but i am only assuming this as he was italian, and the administrator told me he aint here for joining mainline cargolux, but we did have some similar tests, only i had few more that cx requires extra... Strange if you already have a 74 rating they dont take yu, its cheaper... No idea man, sori |
