If he is smart , he still keeps waiting for new opportunities in the german market.
Especially at these times, where a lot is changing in the aviation market in Germany.
There is now an offer for cadets at airberlin with better conditions than Eurowings. And maybe he can work in Hamburg as well.
The golden contract that was promised to him years ago (50-60 hours a month, about 16 days off a month, 4-7k€ net as FO, pension from 55 years possible, etc.) is closed now, there is a slim chance it will open again. However, if he accepts one of those other offers, he opts out the pool for the old contract.

If he is NFF he probably got a mail from airberlin already. Apparently both Eurowings and airberlin compete currently for their respective cadets. Eurowings mailed all airberlin cadets on the waiting list a day before the restructuring news broke to offer them a job, full pay immediately, flying from may next year. The next day airberlin offered them a permanent contract on their much higher pay scale, and offered NFFs preferential entry as well.

I wonder how the situation is progressing in EW Eu (Eurowings Europe): they keep emailing me if I would like to join as Fast Track Command.
I see they improved the conditions a little but, they are still way below market rate.
Any news and feedbacks?

I can answer a little.
GWI is going to be folded to EW. Regarding the pilots, well the devil is in the details.
EW EU is another matter completely....
Nevertheless the conditions have been improved a little but, are still way below market rate. The big advantage is that you do not work for eastern crooks or control freaks brits. And is not the ME.
Pilots management is all ex Austrian and very good indeed. They do take care of you (beside the pay witch is outside their control and they do have the same conditions).
