Are the Laudamotion pilots in the union? If no proper representation then hard for union to do much. Either way, Austria has always had some of the worst T&Cs in Europe so not really surprised....

Well, the unions in Ryanair could obviously call for a strike to prevent the company from transfering their flights to their other airlines. That has already been done elsewhere in Europe.
The problem is that the unions in Ryanair don't seem to be working together. Some strike in august, some in September,...you get my point: easy for the company to cover the strikes by sending people from other bases to cover them.
Now if all the unions in ryanair, from every country, were calling for a single common strike to stop the development of Laudamotion/Buzz/Malta air at the expense of the Ryanair employees who have better conditions, then maybe things would change a little.

UAV689 7th September 2019 15:31

Unfortunately it’s illegal in most countries to coordinate a strike across different territories, so the unions hands are tied in that respect

a350pilots 8th September 2019 09:55

Is it illegal for management to coordinate the cancelled flight?
Last time, Lauda Motion crew were the strikebreaker for Ryanair.
Disgraceful.

Please, please, don,t even consider to apply! Otherwise you will keep on feeding the cancer in aviation: the downslope in terms and conditions. If no one applies, they don,t even have the pilots to replace striking pilots in other RYR subsidiaries.
Indeed, all (RYR) pilot unions should work together and organise a pan European strike, if needed lasting several days in a row. Only than you will get things moving.
look at what happens today: because almost every BA pilot is member of the SAME union, they can organize a big massive strik and almost the complete fleet is grounded. That will give big disruption for the passengers and will hit the management hard. They will have to listen!

Crazy times we are living in.

Sky17_ 9th September 2019 18:42

Thanks for answering.. the attractive part is that they’re “offering” (bond) the Type rating and if you’re staying with them more than 3 year is.. let’s say “for free”!

But comparing to Ryan and other companies, the salary is very low.. 2500€/net for an experienced First Officer is really nothing.

Banana Joe 9th September 2019 19:35

A bond is not free.

Hi,

A friend of mine has been invited.. seems to be same screening as Ryanair..

TinFoilhat2 11th September 2019 10:55

Anybody know the terms and conditions?

crj_z2 11th September 2019 12:27

Terms & Conditions Overview
 
Roster:
5 early / 2 off / 5 late / 3 off. What is early and what is late is not defined, but expect "early" to be a start some time between 3am and noon and "late" a check-out between 9pm and 2am. The schedule is unstable. Typical rosters contain a lot of STBY duties. If you do not achieve 850 block hours, the company can take you out of this pattern and roster you on a flexible basis. Confirmed rosters are published on Fri for the next week and every duty is subject to change to another one of the same type (early/late) until you check in. At the moment, flight crews get 35 days vacation, which can (theoretically) be requested also on short notice on any duty day. The company prefers you to take vacation during the winter. If you reach 850hrs, you are expected to use up your annual leave thereafter.

Salary:
Entry level FO: 3.200EUR / CPT: 6.300EUR / month "guaranteed" gross (Includes 35 block hours).
If you fly more, you will receive additional scheduled block hour pay - up to 70hrs that is 18EUR/h for FOs and 31EUR/h for CPTs gross, thereafter the block hour rate increases. If you are not a training captain, expect about 60hrs/month.

Pilots, that come with experience on aircraft with a MTOW above 19.5T can join on a higher salary level. Each 1.000hrs on such aircraft types count as 1 year. The complete pay scale can be found in the original CLA under paragraph 7. The guaranteed monthly gross salary is listed under 7.5, the block hour pay under 7.2. Google "Kollektivvertrag Laudamotion" to find it.

Contract:
Training contract with training pay (Level 1 without block hour pay or daily allowances, if off-base) until the final line check, thereafter you get assigned to a base and receive the permanent contract. The training base is typically VIE.

Overall the morale in the company is low. Recently there have been quite a few terminations of senior / long-term staff.

TinFoilhat2 11th September 2019 13:23

Sounds like a great place to work....said nobody ever!!

Gross, mind you, so I'd assume no more than 50% of it is take-home pay

Ahh, so a cab driver gets it net, that would mean he makes more than 5k net a month, fu.ck man, of course I would apply for that.

Are cab drivers paid by the block-hour too? And are Airline-Pilots tipped?






bulldog89 12th September 2019 14:10

Is the pilot paying to fuel the plane? You're all comparing apples to oranges and it's getting ridiculous to be honest.

Sky17_ 12th September 2019 16:29

As far I understood if you apply for PMI your salary will be taxed in AU and the social part in Spain. So considering 3800€ Gross (basic group year 2 + block of 50/55hrs) and simulating all tax and social in Au, the NET will be around 2500€. In Spain the social/health part should be lower compared to the AU one, so I think we can consider a net of 2700/2800€ PMI 50/55 hrs (joining on the second year contract). Around 3100€ if you fly 75hrs.

OutsideCAS 12th September 2019 17:53

Not particularly great IMHO.

Absolutely not, that’s the reason why they’re accepting NTR (with bond) .. is not easy to find a rated and experienced pilot to accept such conditions.

For a NTR can be a way to start with 320 without anticipating €.

TinFoilhat2 12th September 2019 18:29

Well that is just a terrible deal, needs to be double that at a minimum!

EAM 12th September 2019 18:39

Well, you can fly a 777 for less. ;-)

737ng_x 13th September 2019 07:21

They are talking about 150 block hours required ? Is it Type (Airbus) Hours or general time ?
Thanks !

Well, its quite simple: If you get a job at your home and dont have any option you stay, even with these crap t&c´s. I did it myself. If you accept to work for peanuts you have also to accept being treated like a monkey. It will never ever change, and RYR knows this. Just wait and see how they will succeed in future, they know their business and LM crews are perfect batteries for their toys. Everybody gets what he earns, this works in both sides :)

I agree with you... If you’re at home the conditions are OK, if you need to go out to earn 1000€ more it’s the same..
What about the environment in the company? Colleagues? Average monthly hours in both PMI and VIE?

The colleagues on the line, in maintenance, etc... are usually pleasant to get along and work with.

The environment:
The company appears to grow - people are being sent to OCC and type rating courses and there are a few more deliveries due. So there are definitely opportunities. So much for the bright side. It was recently announced, that, if the flight crews @VIE would not accept a new "base agreement", 30 pilot jobs @ VIE would be cut and 4 B737s from RYR would take over some routes. As austrian71 noted, people accept certain things for preserving not only their own, but also their colleague's jobs at home - which is perfectly understandable in a way.
After the agreement was signed, not 30, but still several people were terminated by the management anyway. It appears, that "trust" may therefor not be the correct word to describe the environment at the moment.

Hours at the VIE base: Average 60/month - I am not familiar with PMI/STR/DUS rosters.

Just for info, what would be the take home pay (NET salary) for a Captain under the new conditions for 60h?

Shameful, disgraceful, etc...there are not enough words to qualify the pay.
But to answer your question, the salary in Vienna is a little bit higher than in Palma, but it's still a disgrace:

Year 1 for a Captain: 5182 basic (gross) + 60x31.15 flight pay = 7051 euros gross
After the taxes in Austria, probably around 3800 net

bairni 14th September 2019 20:12

translation of the collective agreement valid in VIE:

https://translate.google.com/transla...ng%3Fd%3DTouch

gross/net calculator for austria.
just fill in the gross amount you want to calculate, add 360€ as income tax free and there you go. all other options are negligible.

https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=&sl=de&tl=en&u=https%3A%2F%2Fonlinerechner.haud e.at%2Fbmf%2Fbrutto-netto-rechner.html

edit:

7051€ from one post above is about 4250€ net 12 times a year + extra holiday bonus in june 5500€ + extra christmas bonus 6000€ in november

so if you convert 14 payments to 12 months you'll earn 5200€/m
