Latest rumour today is that 2 more A300s to be back in service by October, currently 12 in use.
Current ops have 10 A/C routes each night, Sometimes 11.

I can't see fleet retirement starting in 2012 unless there is another financial crisis.

At least I hope not as I would like another 5 years in the middle seat before I retire.

Contractair guys
 

Do you know how many they were recently?

IS that for a FO or DEC?

Hi,

I thought I bring this thread up again.
I've just applied at EAT through interpersonal.
Heard about a flexible roster coming??
The 7/7 roster seems to be commutable, do the DHK
guys complain about commuting on their flex roster?
I could imagine you check in on your first day at 0005
and check out on the last at 2355??
Don't get me wrong, I'm just trying to figure out, if
it is possible to commute and leave the family where
they are happy... In case I get the Job!

Thanks for your help!!

EAT Brussels have a fixed roster pattern which is 8/6, the 7/7 is on the Airbus which is flown on the Irish register and crewed by AIr contractors. The rumour is that EAT germany will not have the same as it is seen as less productive than a flex roster. EAT Germany will also have lower terms and conditions than the old Belgium company had, whilest the employee enjoy the higher tax regime in Germany. Regardless of where you live if you are based in LEJ the Geramns will expect you to pay tax and NI in Germany. How that will affect tax situation of those that commute in from other countries will be interesting to see

no rumour anymore .... unstructered roster same like DHL UK and fully taxed in Germany on their new lower salary with no benefits ( pension , loss of license , etc . )
:D

How lucky....
 

How lucky are those who can retire and live that game !

a little mistake....
 

English is not my "mother language", I was meaning "leave", not "live"...

FO Hours
 

In response to an earlier question about FO experience.

It is very varied, I was with a Captain with 12000 hours on 75/76 and an FO with 8000 hours on 75 and biz jets. I know a few low hours FO's that have been accepted with less than a 1000 hours total (me included) and then some with 5000+ on 767, some have a lot less. I think it's if your face fits then your in. I found that attitude counted for a great deal (that's my thoughts anyway) and I can see how a "can do" attitude will get you in good positions in any interview.

If you want info on the TR'd entry sim etc then feel free to PM me.

PT

Absolutely. I was fortunate to be offered 'early retirement' as one of the first out.

I am delighted I do not fly anymore. I was out of work for 2 weeks, then work where I can sleep in my bed everynight.

To all still working there , bon chance.

hi,

any info regarding pay for EAT Lej. Is the number on ppnj correct?
How come that they hire without experience?

Cheers,
a

No the numbers on ppjn are not correct. It's less than that. Also no more "per diems" as such. But now also taxed.

They hire people without experience, because somebody with experience will not accept such a bad deal...

Any info on the interview please?
What is the deal - experienced / not TR?

They must pay some sort of flight pay / sector pay / overnight allowance!

Anyone contacted for FO position starting on Jan 2011 as per interpersonal website??!

Any info about interview?

best rgds

when did you apply?thnks

Hello non0,

cheers

hi guys,
i also applied at EAT, about 3 weeks ago. have 6000 hours, about 2000 pic time on F70/100. did not hear anything until now.

DHL Chaps,

I've a boat load of questions and I'm happy to buy a few beers in exchange if anyone's at a loose end near EMA.

I've been chasing an F/O job at EAT for a while now and have just been advised by Interpersonal that I've been released to the interview (hopefully EAT will rubber stamp it now). Without wanting to get too far ahead of myself, can anyone give an idea of good study resources for the DLR tests at Hamburg. I've not found much online yet aside from the one week prep courses (which I'm considering).

And, again not counting any chickens, can anyone give an idea of lifestyle in LEJ? The salary doesn't seem a lot higher than my current pay at a UK regional (accounting for what I calculate German tax to be). How does this equate to standard of living in terms of accommodation etc? How does the new roster work out? If anyone could paint a general picture of the life there it'd be great.

Still pretty sure it's my top choice. Thanks again.
