What are the employment terms at Germanwings?
I read that Germanwings normally employs candidates from Lufthansa Flight Training.
What are the terms and conditions for a new hire ?
Is he full time or part time ?
Employed or self employed ?
Is he on a contract with an expiry date ?
Monthly pay or paid by the hour ?
What about sick leave ?
Salary ?
Scheduling ?
Hours and Sectors per month ?
Where are they based ?
Vacation and Crew rest ?

Everyone is looking into the FO's religion, his medical history, his family history, his flight training history, his love life, his political views and affiliations, but some people here claim that his work conditions are somehow irrelevant and off limits ?
Those that have nothing to say, or those with an agenda, please abstain, and let those with knowledge on my question reply.
Back to my question. What are the work conditions at Germanwings ?

looking to do a bit of foreigner bashing and finger pointing again?
You only need to look at how he threw at tantrum at European pilots in Canada on a certain canadian pilot forum when really all it was about whas that the company he works for we're getting their ass kicked by the competition and he played politics to try and get them stopped.
Your questions are irrelevant and insensitive at this time and I can see where your going with this regarding a certain airline that operates in Canada during the winter so you can some how use this tragic event for YOUR AGENDA.
Low really low...but not surprising

Well then, Germanwings is a lufthansa company, flightdeck crews are solely hired through their own cadets from the lufthansa flight school. Lufthansa pays for the whole training, however once a cadet get a flight deck position he has to pay back part of that training, he can choose how much he wants to pay back and in turn the duration of paying back.

....and Germanwings.....

....and also Lufthansa CEO Carsten Spohr.....

But we could all be wrong. The anonymous sciolists on Pprune probably know better.

Germanwings is a member of the Wings family and is already very successfully positioned in Germany and Europe as a value brand and an innovative, high-quality, low-cost airline.

Our low cost subsidiary Germanwings [has] been a great success; bigger than we expected

you can be LoCo and still treat your employees with respect and fair conditions.
I think if the employment conditions would be a major issue in this case, we would have a blue+yellow harp flying against mountains once every month

Although not relevant in this case, the terms and conditions at other airlines would probably shock the travelling public.

I read the original post as indirectly asking whether the company's working conditions added to this lunatic's problems, which I think was a fair question. If Denti's data is correct then it appears not.

Above average for a low cost?
Get a life! This is the highest paid job in Europe out of any airlines, be it low cost or legacy. Because this is exactly LH mainline T&C
Thank you Denti. So overall, fairly decent conditions, and above average for a European low cost I would say.

Germanwings pilots are LH pilots.
After they are hired the LH pilots are send to the mainline, Cargo or Germanwings.
Anyway, it is by far not the best paid job in Europe, but the T&C are of course quite good.
