You think it could be €1200 and you still want to know about the selection process?

Usually the ones that pay the least have the hardest selection.

Had a chance to fly with some of their guys. Met very good guys and not so good ones. For sure the spread is larger then with the legacy carriers. The backgrounds are very different, military guys, cadets and guys that flew little GA aircraft till their 40s and then moved to the 737. What they all told me is that management is not treating them very kind, politely expressed. Those who have a chance will jump ship at the next possibility.

Currently work here, the rumor goes that for the first 18 months as cadet the wage is like that. You get per diems, can expect thay can be about half the wage extra. One of the things what the company counts on is the worldwide flying you get, very interesting destinations, lot of ACMI and you know not many operate with 738 from EU to Dominicana i.e. There are some highs, some lows as always. 107 destinations, 44 countries, 3years of service. Quick progress to LHS is another.

Recently met them in a hotel down route , pathetic money and totally anti-social rosters.
How much lower can this profession get?

Hi RedBullGaveMeWings,

660EUR/month for the first 18 months is reasonable.

As an example...My mother works 40 hours a day and she is employed by the government for the same money. She is not a freshly recruited employee, with 30 years behind her back, and on the top of this she is happy with what she gets.

A real aviator does not looking the paycheck but lives for his passion! If they offer you a job take it and be happy that you can do what you love.

Unbelievable!!!

No matter how much you love flying it does and will become a job! I go to work to provide for my wife and kids. That's it period.

I doubt anyone will have put on their grave stone "I wish I had spent more time working"

On €660 a month exactly where are you supposed to live?
