Correct, no seniority, however the base transfer list is organised on first come first served, i.e., it's done in order that you join the list. As has been said, ALC is usually undercrewed so my guess is that you would likely get that base right from the start.

As for how much you make nett, it depends on which base you are at, as your sector pay and duty pay makes a difference. At ALC you will earn less than most other bases as you fly less, it also depends on how much you choose to pay into the pension, and also on the Spanish tax rate vs UK tax.

I would say that the prospects of someone who enjoys being in the back of a darkened box are very good. We have recently recruited direct enter TRE's and TRI's.

It sounds good to me... just one question more. Is there any extrapayment when they send you to fly out of base?

You get your hourly duty allowance and your sector pay for the sectors that you fly, you will be accommodated on B&B basis and your transfers will all be organised for you either using hotel courtesy bus or taxi.

Perfect then, it is like must be...

Has anybody heard about interview assessments or start dates. It seems to be quiet on the recruitment front at the moment. Any news?

It's good to hear that there is some movement. Thank you.

That is great news for 2018. As a "talent pooler", we just have to hope that there isn't a glut of type rated people and the company then dip into our pool for pilots :ok:

Has anybody heard anything about the assessments going on at the moment? Are they for FO or Capt positions?

Assessments
 

Both........

Does anyone have any idea of current numbers in the Holdpool (post successful sim)? And the current expected wait in said holdpool before being made an offer? thanks..

DEC floating in the pool since last October, think they are flat out busy doing upgrades and NTR at the minute, stand to be corrected, but courses running until April I was told so sit tight and wait to hear from us. It may also depend on what base you are after aswell, don’t know anymore than that!

Having read all this gentlemen,
As I understood is 8 months flying and let's say 4 off..and around 48k brut per year If I not mistaken plus per diem and Blk hr.
What is the net approx. salary I would be looking for in Palma Base as FO after Spanish Tax?

Apparently there is a yearly bonus scheme Now? Does anyone have the details of this?

Figures above...
 

If by 4 months off you mean taking the optional winter leave then those figures seem way off. On the 737 as a DEFO with experience in the UK you would expect basic of £53,916 plus sector and duty pay. The 737 is definitely queiter in the winter but I looked at my friends roster and he is still flying 7 days a month in November so not exactly commutable. If you are talking about the winter leave option then obviously reduce these figures.

For context on the 757 I have 7 days flying between now and December.

As for the Spanish contracts I have no idea where these figures are and I would be interested to see them myself.

None of us mortals knows what the bonus scheme will be exactly, full private health insurance takes effect from January 2018 I believe. :ok:

interested in Spanish bases ALC, PMI offer for TR 737...any idea about roster,salary?

im also interested in ALC and PMI, 8 months on 4 months off sounds good, does anyone have DEC salary details for these bases, there are roadshows next week but i cannot attend

I think these details are still been worked out.

Have jet 2 stopped hiring Direct Entry Captains. All seems to have gone very quiet.
