Health insurance cost in Switzerland depends on what level of cover you want. 500 CHF a month is pretty standard.
If you live in France you pay tax and social security in Switzerland, and private health insurance in France. Basic cover is about 80 euros a month. Good cover 150 euros a month.
If you live in France you can chose to file a Swiss tax return each year (to get deductions for pension, travel costs, house renovation etc), but you must file a tax return in France. It is pretty straightforward if your only income source is your salary. You get a letter back from the French authorities saying you owe no tax. It is simply a form filling exercise so that you are accounted for as a French resident.

Recruitment is over. New joiners to start in December. It seems only 1 FO is transferring from MAD (due to base closure), 9 have been hired. Minimum requirements were 500 hours Multicrew. Not sure how many flexicrew will join (on permanent contract)... To be continued...

In simple terms : lower-than-ever contracts for EZS.
Still very good for some, but once again in total alignment with their crew cost reduction (targetted 10% crew cost cut, as per Deep Dive in the UK... same applies here).
They won't touch the existing contracts (won't they ???
......) so the only way to mitigate the costs is with new joiners. And with the TRTO arriving shortly, it will get even worse as you will have to pay the Swiss (i e horribly expensive, as anything in Switzerland) price to be rated on the 320, and you will receive the Swiss EZS new joiner new pay, which is not published yet.
Regarding the transfer protocol that was proudly announced by Full Left Rudder in August, well, we are still waiting...

I hardly announced a new transfer protocol, let alone "proudly announced". I said hopefully a EZS to EZY transfer that was due to happen will set a precedent for the future.
Incidentally, that transfer did happen.
Time will tell if it sets a precedent, but it is at least being discussed.

There's no EZS-EZY transfer and as far as I'm concerned by that transfer no precedent was set.
McMax they're continually hiring - bonding even if rated. Helps if someone gives your profile a nod or, understandably and quite rightly you're Swiss. As I understand, direct CVs to the head honchos won't help.

Unfortunately if it's not there, it's temporarily closed. Just keep checking! They are definitely taking people throughout the year. Hello Airlines going bust probably won't help other's chances in my opinion. I.e. Plenty of A320 TR'd Swiss/ B permit people ready to go.
