Darwin Airlines

So biting the bullet here, but significantly fed up with the lifestyle and conditions in my current employer, I'm considering applying to Darwin Airlines as a DHC8 rated FO.

I was wondering if anyone out there could provide any information on terms and conditions (which can't actually be any worse than where I am right now!).

300eur just to apply?

Unless this was my dream job, or a job I badly wanted, that right there would turn me away. Especially if you are only applying because you're sick of your current company and no other reason. What a rip.

You're a DHC-8 rated FO? Or applying for that position? If you are currently flying the Dash, what is your current company that is so bad if you don't mind me asking?

I wonder what the fact that they named their company after Charles Darwin, might mean for the way they operate... :uhoh:

I recommend that you read their 'blurb' carefully

Quote:

Based on the results of all steps Darwin Airline Ltd. may propose an employment according the company needs and policy. Candidates are asked to pay a participation fee of CHF 400.00 as a partial cover of effective costs. Anyway, this amount will be deducted from the total cost of training if the pilot is hired by our Company.

My bold emphasis.

I would want to know what I was commiting myself to before going much further.
