Why should I? I know what will happen with DHK after Brexit and that's all I care about.
|
Since there's been some recent activity in the thread thought I'd ask. What the estimate time to command for someone joining with less than 1000hrs but previous jet experience (500 in my case)? Seems they removed the 757 option, is the a300 limited to more experienced applicants?
|
Wrong company/thread, this is about DHL Air UK, we do not have A300, just 757 and 767. The A300 are with EAT, but both companies require at least 3000h total, with around 300h a year it will take you quite some years.

@Hawker, no worries, just to make sure you are aware that there are 2 different companies both with Leipzig base.
@banana joe, there is kind of seniority, but in DHK command is not purely based on seniority. |
Im thinking about applying for DHL Air UK, and was wondering what the lifestyle is like at the moment. Are they offering a fixed roster pattern?
Currently SFO on long haul. Do they use seniority to dictate who gets to fly 767 (777 in a few years), and for upgrade? Piece of string question... But traditionally, how long has the wait been for a shot at command? And is it a fair process? Cheers TT |
It all depends on your current hours, I see you’re currently flying L/H so if you meet the 3000 minimum then providing you get a tick in the box on your sims you could in today’s climate be looking at a Crack at it in under two years. As for the fixed roster that is seniority based however you’d have a better chance if you were LEJ based rather than EMA, it’s known as the 9 n 5 which actually works out 8 n 6 in reality but it’s not available to 76 long haul crews. As for the 777......please tell me more??? |
I think most of it is already answered in this thread.
Yes there is a fixed pattern and you can get on it after 1 year, 9n5 and as captbod says, unlikely to get in EMA. For the command as already mentioned, 2 years and all the boxes ticked, at the moment around 3 years, but I guess it might be more in the next years. Everything is seniority based, but not only on seniority. The 777 should be here in 2021/22 taking over the A330 flights. :} |
We are doing a lot of commands at the moment, but I don't think this will continue for much longer. If you join today it would be at least 2 years, but unless we are getting more a/c I guess the guys who will have their command in the next 2 years will be enough to cover the retirements.
So, 2-3 years at the moment, but I think that is very optimistic for the future, but hey, its DHL and you never never know. ;-) |
Yes, that option is still available. Basic salary with 1,2€ flight duty pay according current exchange rate.
|
Guys I am looking at my package and its saying 12/12 or 11/12 I was reading it as 12 on 12 off or 11 on 12 off have I understood it correctly? Everyone seams to be talking about 6/5 and so on.

Hi meatball, Basically, depending on your commute as a new joiner, you can be offered a part time contract as part of a zonal policy in order to help mitigate Fatigue. This particular deal is only available to Experienced joiners and not LEP/Cadets. So anything along those lines (10/12, 11/12s etc...) means that if you take your work and divide it by 12 and multiply it by 10 or 11, that’ll be your total work for the year. You’ll still be on a flexi contract but whereas the normal full time flexi roster has around 10 days off per month on it, expect a couple more each month. In terms of pay (in the uk at least!), it doesn’t make too much difference really due to tax. Hope this helps! |
If you move and live in Leipzig you will be offered a full time contract, 12/12. If you want to commute you will be offered a part time contract 11/12 or 10/12.
After 1 year you can apply for the block roster, full time or part time, which is 9/5 9days on 5 days off. |
Here’s another way of looking at it. For every month of your contract you ‘earn’ 10 OFF days and 3.5 days leave. So a full contract (12/12th) gets 42 days leave and 120 OFF days distributed through the year (total 162). A 10/12th contract has 61 part time days off (2/12x365), gets 100 OFF days and 35 days leave, so after 35 days leave there are 161 days off to be distributed over the whole year (total 196). Hope this helps. dh ps still trying to work out who EAM and hobnob are!! |

Questions: - How is the salary on fixed roster and part time ? - How is the working atmosphere in Leipzig ? - Time to command ? Thanks |
Ppjn reasonably close. PT is a straight percentage of full time. Good place to work - multi national, good people, friendly flight decks Command - too variable to comment. Currently 4-5, has been 2, has been 8. HtH dh |
Are they currently recruiting FO as well? Average experience?
DHL Air UK of course. |
BJ Think so |
8 a month at the moment

Getlemen
I was wondering if someone has new informations about the recrutining process at DHL in Leipzing. Is DLR test part of the assessment?. If yes which one ? How is the process structured I thank you in advance for your replies |
No it's not.
If you apply for EAT than you need to do the assessment via Interpersonal. |
Thank you so much for your reply. Where can I practice for this test ?
|
For InterPersonal, the SkyTest product is exactly identical to what you can expect at InterPersonal Same for Level and Eurowings.
|
Thank you so much for you reply @Bana Joe
|
Just to make it sure, Interpersonal is for EAT, you are in the DHK thread.;)
|
Question for the DHL Air UK guys that fly out of LEJ base. Do employees obtain discounts on Deutsche Bahn network if they live in Germany?
I understand it's easy to commute from Frankfurt on DHL, but just looking for some info. I know the employees at EAT do. |
No you don't, not even in EAT. Some got the Industry Travel Card but its not for Cargo Airlines, they were just lucky. ;-)
|
I tried to find out where it is possible to apply for a first officer position at DHL Uk having a look at the DHL web site but it did not find the right webpage.
Does anyone has the correct link or a general hr email where it is possible to send an application? I thank you in advance for the reply. |
I sent my CV to the email you find on PPJN and they got back to me relatively quickly.
|
Grazie Banana Joe ! |
Apparently DHL Bahrain are getting 3 more 767 aircraft. Can anybody confirm whether they have arrived as apparently they were supposed to be ready for use fromJan 2020 and onwards.
Is there any news as to whether the expansion plans have been put on hold for theMiddle East group? |
