Volotea Second Officer
Hi!
Has anyone any experience with the airline the last couple of years? I've read some old numbers where pay wasn't fixed, it was all up to the number of hours you fly. How is the bonding on the A319/B717? What to expect if invited to interviews etc.
Just wondering if it is worth applying for or if it is just another hole in the ground...?

Totally agree with the above chaps.
So, positive sides ( few) are : very nice and warm environment, especially if you respect each other; CC are friendly and Pilots are nice chaps; financial stability.
Downsides: very few hours during the year, expect max 500; the salary is simply disgraceful, expect 1k if less than 40bh, not more than 2.6k if 80 ( this fortune only 3 times per year); contracts are with unpaid leave (usually 8 months on/4 off, when u will earn 0 ) for at least 2 seasons.
And, to finish, a lot of “mafia”: if you know someone, you will be safe.
No bonding, just pay for the tr.
Interview quite hard and selective, prepare atpl and for a sim ride.
Fortunately I am in Dublin

Floatea, pull out the plug!
Get these suckers out of business! Once again, the EU commission whimpies do nothing to stop this scandalous abuse of pilots looking for a job.
Look somewhere else! There are far better options available!

Off course, financial stability for the management, not for the employees...
Maybe someone from the inside can tell us something more

Since I lost a good job offer due to the fact that I was sarcastically quoting one of your highly intellectual colleague using this kind of language, and also because it's not really professional to talk like that, please let's express ourselves like evolved human beings or at least professionals.

professional = profession . What this used to be , before ten year olds borrowed 120000 euros , so they could get a selfie snap in a pilot shirt and work for less than Starbucks pays
