Hey guys,

A few questions about T&C:
In a normal month to how much do the allowances amount (everything tax free)? (4e/hr, sunday, night time, ecc.)
What kind of gross salary can be expected after 4-5 years in the company (excluding allowances)?
Is there a profit sharing plan in place?

Quite interested in this airline and its operations. For who came from SH...did you encounter difficulties adapting to the night flights+jet lag (cargo ops in general)?

Good luck to everyone applying.

Hello Everyone,

I would like to ask if anyone knows if they require 747 TR to be accepted for the selection process.
I have been checking in aviation jobs which is where I found the initial job offer and it does not say that 747 is required but some places the requirements are not precise or don't match the reality from what the Airline desires.

Have a good day.

Hi all

Has anybody received an invite to the current recruitment tranche? It’s been open since the beginning of July, but I’m optimistically hoping I haven’t heard anything because they are still accepting applications!

any information either way would be great fully received, this is something of a life changing job if I can get myself in the door!!

cheers everyone, Dag

Did you apply as non type rated?

Same here, I applied mid July but no news yet. I was also hoping they would wait till the applications are closed to invite for selections, but I have no idea how they handle applications.

Any information would be welcome!

It is rather interesting... If we compare time frame to apply between November/21 and july/22... They've been still opened to apply...

Anyone has updates??

thanks all!!

Still waiting.. It has been almost 2 months. Hope they will start they assessment process soon if they haven’t. Will appreciate any updates too !

Hey, does anybody know the Cargolux rules about getting a second chance? I did the IBF test about 10 years ago. Rated. Cheers.

Hello,

Anybody currently working at Cargolux or that has gone through Cargolux Selection process can share somelight about what to expect? I'm trying to research the interview gouge but can't not find much, there is nothing on latestpilotjobs website.

I haven't been called for any interview but just to prepare.

Thank you!

Private life
 

Hi all,

This question most probably already has been answered a couple of times. But since things change quite often i thought i ask it again.

How do you judge the private life at CV at the moment?
i understand you have 2 blocks off per month of 7 days and 5 days. To be honest that does not sound like much. I understood you can use vacation days to increase the days off on your off blocks.

we have 2 kids, my wife is working part time.
i am just wondering, will I ever be home and will I be alive when I am at home?

everything looks great about CV i just got my doubts about the private life.

curious to what you guys know or what the experience is from guys flying at CV

thank you so mucht for the help and effort

you are more or less 50% off per year including vacation days. That is the good part.

The proces of actually getting your off days as requested is a lottery. One month you might, the next month you get the complete opposite. Which makes it hard to plan your private life. Especially if you are a commuter. It makes it easier if you live within a couple of hours driving from LUX. Also keep in mind that when you start in CLX you are at the bottom of the seniority list. Off & Vacation days are (supposed to) being granted on seniority. With two school going kids this might cause a little frustration.

Thank you for your answer.
we live a little over 6 hours drive away, maybe a bit difficult in that case.

yes i guess if you can plan and you can create a 8 or 9 on 6 or 7 off it could be very nice, but you need the security.

regarding the part time, you can only get it after 3 year I understood, and after a year after requesting it, you have to get it as I understand according to the CWA. But does this mean you can apply after 2 year and have it after 3. Or you can only apply after 3 years, so might take 4 years?

Hi all,
Does anyone know if recruitment is still ongoing?
The application page on their website is open.

It seems to be over!!!

hello guys!!!
Any news???
tks...

Unfortunately.. any news will be really appreciated after months now !?
Does someone heard about anyone invited for the assessments? The job offer was closed mid-september..
Thanks!

Hi Guys,

Any news on Cargolux recruitment? The job offer is no longer open so I guess they have enough applications.
I haven't been contacted or anything, I meet all the requirments but my guess is they have plenty of enough rated candidates from Cathay Pacific. Plenty of 744/748 rated guys from there. (I'm not rated on the 74 in my case)

Anyway, if somone has been called please shed the light!

WM.

thank you so much for sharing detial so helpful

Chaps, is a commute from Ireland doable if working for Cargolux? I understand you can use Luxair with staff travel to Dublin. Would be interested to hear people’s thoughts.

thanks 👍

Yes, you could use Luxair to commute, as long as they operate the route;) Count on losing an offday every time you commute by plane…

Looks like things will slow down a bit this year when it comes to hiring though.

Hi, why do you say the slowdown in hiring for this year? do you have any info that could be shared, please? Thank you
