Me thinks, the FO salary is very low, but somehow understandable, because you have the opportunity to become an A320 pilot.
More amazing is how low the pay is for experienced pilots, including captains, in this airline. For a new captain it seems to be 3200 €? How can someone work for this money?

Dani it is more, after 1 year you are in the second level and the avarage for a FO is around 2600-2800€ for 12 month.
At the moment FOs flying 100+ h per month.
My avarage last year was around 5000€ net for 12 month, 2. level CPT.
Not very much, but not too bad.
We know that NIKI is a low salary airline, but it is not as bad as a lot of people think to know. Most people are here not because of the money.
If you want good money, well India and China is a good adress. I get phone calls from agencys almost every week. Give me your number I will pas it to them. I prefer to stay in Vienna.

Are there any new information about the assessment?
Heard about 4 hours of computer based tests and thereafter maybe an Interview, but Interview might be later...
Would be glad for any information what's the best way to be prepared for this test.
Also interested in some details about the daily life... (overnights, single days or more days in a row, and stuff like that)

Is there someone in here who got an invitation to the assessment? Some friends of mine got a rejection within 48 hours. Haven't heard of a positive application by now.
I'm still waiting for a response from Vienna ...

flyNiki have very good training dept. All the best with it!
However I must disagree with BzB's comment:
"A few people seem to forget that "cadet" level entry is a whole different ball game. Part of the reason such schemes exist, is that they are cost effective for the companies who operate them. "
What about the cost of a tail strike?
See: http://www.pprune.org/airlines-airpo...et-4-a-91.html
or gear collapse:
Uncorrected poor technique led trainee to land A320 hard

When you are typed and line checked, Base Salary just under €2,000 per month, paid 14 times a year - twice in November / December and twice in June.
In addition, flight pay is €16.31 to 70 hours, €32.64 70 to 90 hours and €65.28 over 90 hours.
There's currently a shortage of FO's, and also quite a few Air Berlin sectors are flown. So at present, most FO's are going 100-110 hours per month - bringing in €5,000 or so gross - €4K or thereabouts Net.
4/5 nights away from home a month, decent hotels, good crew food and a Mini, Fiat 500 or Smart at discount rates if you want to rent a car from the CO..
Not great pay, but new aircraft, great captains, AND flying into major airports, so a good place to get experience to get that ATPL unfrozen.

Captains 'Take home' pay.
Hi guys. I have seen a lot of info on payrates at niki, often paid in Gross. I believe Austria has a very high tax rate so can anyone out there tell me what a Captain can expect to take home, including flight pay, after tax, per month? This would be great info if anyone knows for sure.

What about the cost of a tail strike?
A relatively rare event that happens to captains as often as anyone else when it does occur. An insured risk. Rotation rates and pitch levels monitored at all times and checked by the captain/training captain.
Clearly the risk likelyhood is deemed by the insurance companies to be exceptional or unusual in this respect, even though there may from time to time be isolated occurances. If it were otherwise, you can be sure they would price it in.
In summary, irrelevant to the cost effectiveness.

Liftdumper,
Please , do not insist!!...
1. There are jobs in Europe , paying more for new joiners. Some don`t even take in consideration your experience. Easyjet pays more than 1500 euros.
2.Even if there were no options , it`s awful to see that you don`t have your horizons wide enough to realize that the lower the new joiners salary the lower will be yours. If they started with 4000 , probably your salary would be also higher.
3.Of course he has to accept th job.But as said before , it does not mean he has to be happy with his T&C.
4.Unfortunately there are many people who think like you(been counter mentality) , and this is the reason why our pofession is the way it is.
5. I hope that , since this guy has to settle for this T&Cs , at least he doesn`t have to fly with Capts like you.
