I see that there are some different opinions here about T&C in DHL Austria...

Is it possible to have some real infos about? I have the BQ booked and it's difficult to find updated informations online on roster, pay, possibility to commute, ecc.

Thanks in advance for any input

Used to be block roster, week on week off. That is not offered anymore. Now working few days, then few days off. So commuting will be a lot harder if you dont really live close to LEJ.

The pay is a lot lower than what it used to be. Exact numbers I dont have, but this is what my friend mentioned to me. You have to work a lot more for the same money.

But if it is your first job, go for it, gain experience.

Good luck.

First year 56.000€ plus 30€ per Flight Duty Hour, you can expect 700+ Duty Hours per year.

Is there any difference with the EAT contract on the 757?

Different companies, so probably.

Thanks for the update, not first experience but I’m trying to get out a regional

Mind you, deltahotel: DHA seemed to hate anything DHK, while embracing anything EAT, hence the new Austrian contracts do apparently look quite similar to EAT’s LEJ ditto…

Oh ok. We didn’t expect DHK 2.0!

EAM
Do you have any info about the annual leave (how many days) and who pays for the accommodation (how many days does one actually spend in LEJ - I assume standbys are in LEJ and you have to pay for the accommodation yourself)? Is there any truth to the rumours about 7/7 and part time becoming reality in the near future? Many thanks!

New contracts have 35 days/5 weeks of leave. As Leipzig is your home base you have to take care about you accommodation yourself.
Difficult to say how many days you will spend in Leipzig, 3-5 per month, maybe more maybe less.
Part time is in general available, but as we are still quite short with crews at the moment it might take a while until more people can go on part time.
7/7 or similar is not available at the moment and there are no talks about it.

So only the flexy girls and guys will go on the 76?

Or are we now misusing/reversing the tupe to please DHA?

No.
No.

Then I can go on a kind of block roster as well?
(IF planning wants……)

EAT Thank you very much for all the information! Just a few more questions:
​​​​​Is there a type rating bond?
Does DHL have any deals with hotels (discount for crews) in the vicinity of LEJ (Schkeuditz)?
Are there any technical question during the interview (CQ)?

Thanks, best regards

At the moment no bond, that might change, hotel discounts are very limited.
No clue about the CQ.

Hi everyone! I have my BQ with DHL A. next week. I've read all the previous feedbacks from the beggining of 2023 onwards. Therefore, So as we are in Feb 2024 now :) maybe any news or the same info still valid? , I would like to ask anyone who knows, how many hours would you fly in the firs year with them, and any ideas about monthly salary, maybe also roster options? Cheers, many thanks.

BlueArrow17C I am glad to find someone else who is attending the BQ these weeks!

i have mine in 2 weeks from now, and I am so excited!
i am practising Skytest as well as basic technical knowledge.
Do you mind sharing your experience once you’ve’ been to the test?

best regards!

Today I had the BQ for DL. I can't say exactly detailed because of the confidentiality agreement, but I can say that skytest and latestpilotjobs.com ( eurow subscription) does help to prepare. also be sure to have good short memory and good spatial orientation, as these subjects i found them quite harder. They are easy in the beggining but gets harder and harder. Also the math written test, be sure to be proficient and be able to estime the correct answer as there won't be time to do calculations for all the problems, but to have a guess. For multitasking exercise, read carefully all the instructions before starting, you can loose points for not doing what you are asked to do. Other than that, i can say to be in good shape and stamina, and if chance is on your side, you will be good. Cheers!

Have my DHL BQ 11/03, anyone interested in share/sell the sky test. I am currently studying with latespilotjobs but I would like to complete.
Also any recently feedback is always wellcome thanks a lot for your cooperation

BQ Assement
 

I had the bq assesment. Due to confidentiality agreement i can not say the exact subjects, but i can say that Skytest and latestpilotjobs.com (eurowings subscruption- as guidance) will do the job for preparing. If one wants more brushup for the atpl, i used atplquestions last 200, but the ones from the website mentioned should be enough. There is no time for major calculations neither for the atpl nor for the written math test, so be in good shape and now the theory and you will be fine. What i could recommend is practice the spatial orientation and memory exercises as it gets harder and harder as you advance thru the exercise and you loose points easily. The standards are quite high, so sleep well the night before, be in good shape and strong stamina abd you will be fine. It's quite a fair assesment I would say, so, no need for too much precise information.
