I just started this year - so limited experience:
People are treated very nice, pleasant company culture, type rating course extremely
good and professional.
Pay is good if married and children because then almost no taxes. Per diem 100 $US. Additional hourly pay for night and sunday flying.
Time to command 5000 h total, 1000 h on type, but future expansion unclear at the moment.
So far i can recommend it.
regards, curry

OK guys, here it is:
Fleet: only 747-400, 10 at the moment, no. 11 arriving soon, no. 12 in 2002
Roster: 28 day period, one block of 6 off days, one block of 3 off days plus "blank days" wich could be min. rest time, crew scheduling seems to be competent and cooperative
Pay: between 3600 and 4600 Euros gross for an F/O during the first three years depending on experience, plus additionals for night and sunday flying. Net salary depends a lot on personal taxes (single, married, children)and can be equal to gross. Generally taxes and insurances in LUX are not as bad as in other european countries.
per diem: about 100 US Dollars per day
regards, curry
