Pretty decent T's & C's for PIC, seems they are serious this time around. . . . no mention of Russian language requirement, for sure it will be desirable, but doesn't seem to be an entry requirement.

A340driver,
Thanks for pointing out, I think we all Ppruners here are aware about that..
I read a lot of requirements of pilots, especially in China, asking for a generic "pilots" but referring to PIC only... I think that's a case..

Some inside info.
Only Captains.
10k Euro is a maximum salary, you can get it, if you make 90 block hours in 20 days and use 10 days of annual leave. Your annual leave pay is based on average salary during last 6 month.
The average leg time on A320 is 2.15-2.20. Local guys doing 6 on 1 off for 90 hours and 5-2 for 80 hours.
A lot of night flying (50-70%).
The max duty is 12 hours for day, and 11 for night.
If you start the duty at 8.59PM and go back by 7 AM next day, it will count as a day duty.
All docs are in English, no problem at all.
Interview and check ride with a deputy A320 fleet.

@ Dom, been told that WB fleets are all set. SU seems to be short on 320 and 737 fleets. Some of the agencies trying to recruit expats, for the gig without having a clear cut deal on the table. Funny nuff, they're saying that the T&C will be discussed at the interview individually. Huh??? So far no agency has been able to shed any light on, what's the deal exactly. Is it a contract or employment? Limited or permanent? Commuting or not? How many days off in a row. Taxes? Accomodation? Transportation? Moscow is a very expensive city and very jammed with traffic. I understand SU has concessions regarding traveling benefits on its own network yet without commutable roster it's of limited use. It's just the beginning, so they'll have to learn to deal with the expats.

They have an apartment building for the staff. It's far from the city. Shuttles to the airport and back are every 30 minutes during a day and 1 hour during the night.
Is's very cheap (like 200-300 euro/month) but airline will deduct this amount from the salary.
