I see they are recruiting FO for the BRU base on the CRJ.

Any news about their brussels airlines contract? Would be tempted to go for it ( Brussels base would be ideal) but i am a bit careful since it is a ACMI operator. On top of that, i do remember they made a huge loss in 2017 because of the expansion.

CPH DEC
 
Hi

I see they are recruiting DEC for CPH base.

Could anyone shed some light on pay and rosters?

Thanks

Ppjn salary adjusted for inflation, so around 61.000 ddk/month plus pension, if captain.

Most likely you will have a flex roster, 183 working days/year, those who are in fixed group has 190/year.

Normail working period is 4-6 days of sling, with an early start (check in between 0530 and 7 am) the first day, and late checkout 10-11 pm the last day, if not delayed. Often 10-13 hours of rest at a 4 star hotel, in between. You can expect between 750-850 hours/year bloc, and 1600-1900 duty/year. Average block time per sector is 1:15, so 600-750 take offs and landings in a year.

Not a commuter friendly job IMHO, due to the early starts and late CO’s.

How is CJ doing nowadays? In 2017 they made a huge loss due to expansion. I was thinking to apply but have some doubts. I am interested in the Brussels base. Anyone knows what a FO earns NET with a belgian contract???

According to ppjn they are closing down HEL base:Current Situation: HEL base to close with lots of redundancies

Cityjets not doing well I don’t think

-pilot redundancies at Helsinki and probably Vilnius/Tallinn/Dublin
​​​​​​-cabin crew redundancies Dublin/Helsinki probably Vilnius/Tallinn
​​​​​​-ageing fleet with only aircraft types either out of production or within 6 months out of production. Sure some of the crj’s are ‘new build’ but its an old design with the associated lack of efficiency of new gen options.
- both contracts (SAS/brussels airlines) reducing in scale. Aer Lingus agreement reduced to a handful of LCY flights.

I would only consider if you want to live in Stockholm or Copenhagen with the caveat of above

The brussels-nantes operated by cityjet on behalf of SN was axed a few months ago.

Now today i ve read the Brussels- Torino operated by CJ on behalf of SN will also be axed from mid april 2020.

ACMI model seems to be not very solid.

I'd be surprised if their ACMI contracts were route specific, and doubt it'll affect them. The aircraft will just be assigned to another route.

What about avro RJ crews? Still paris base or is it closed?

I suspect not so much flying for them then
