Ok, then it's very new, because 1 month ago they assured me I would be paying taxes in Austria even with a Spanish base.
However the salary is still way too low...

Anyone could shed a light on why they require a European Drivers License "B" for the captains position?

Thanks!

That's standard over here, nothing to do with LDM. I don't know why they write it in there, but it's really nothing unusual in job ads in Austria.

to be able to get to the airport also on a short notice i guess. Same in Germany. Unfortunately no crew shuttle services like in india over here.

Figures on ppjn.com are accurate. Income taxes in Austria, social security in Spain (for PMI base). Plan on max 70 hours a month...much less in PMI in the winter.

Probably so you can transport your whole crew in a rental car to their next duty. Saves on paying taxi-drivers to do the job...

Can someone tell how long it took from having applied to a FO/CA position until Lauda first got in touch with you? I can't find any information regarding the recruitment process.

Theres info on the process in the Ryanair website under Careers and Lauda!

That i know, yet nothing about a timeline. I wonder how long it takes for them to get in touch after receiving the application - maybe someone gained some experience worth sharing

I know a friend, rated, that applied. Got a reply on the same day, a confirmed assessment for the week after and one day after the assessment was asked if he was ready to start the occ 5 days later.
My friend said no, and was totally unimpressed with the professionalism of the whole thing, from the beginning.
Some other people I know applied, but never got an assessment date.

You seem to know everything

Guys really, I rarely post here but wanted to say that this is the worst contract I’ve seen in my 13 years in aviation. I did an assessment there and got a job offer, so finally I got to see the actual contract. It’s less money than advertised, less leave than advertised, they can send you wherever whenever without paying you any compensation. You are called a mobile transport worker in the contract. It says that you’re responsible for being current and so on, it’s a piece of crap. When I said that they wanted to explain me the contract, they said everything will be not like this blablabla. In the end you sign that paper giving them the right to do whatever they want with you.

I made some phonecalls with people working there, everybody in Lauda tries to find another job.

Why I’m writing this: guys we have to unite and not accept this. Companies are doing this to us because we let them. We have to stand up and say no. This job can be the most beautiful job in the world but it’s getting less every day. It’s time we do something.

Maybe he knows enough to speak up ?

Sounds terrifying frankly. My issue: i'm an Indian national with the unrestricted right to work and live in Europe (married to a german), moved to Germany in Apr. i'm an A320 (500h) and Q400 (2000h) pilot with a current A320 TR/IR, Class I Medical etc. Just got ahold of my EASA licence and applied everywhere where i possibly could apply. I honestly have to take what i can get...and so far it doesnt seem well. I frankly would even take laude, beggers cant be choosers.

That happend recently or after lauda got acquired by Ryanair?

Good friend of mine works there as a CPT. Experienced guy. Good guy. Wants to get out as soon as he can. Worst company he has ever worked for, he says. And getting worse by the day, according to him.

The assessment was last week, and the occ was starting this monday.

The Airbus market.
 

Can anyone give us an update on the A320 market for pilots please.
I am more up to date on the 737 side of things. ( Stagnant or negative at the moment until Max and Corona is sorted.!?)

I would imagine there is a bright future for any A320 rated pilot out there, but does the recruitment reflect this.
The terms and conditions quoted here suggests the opposite, me thinks

Condor are recruiting massively, being A320 type rated you're almost hired.

German B2 mandatory...

Applied 2 1/2 weeks ago via career.aero, meeting all their requirements but no reaction yet by condor.
I keep you posted in case anything happens.

Out of interest how do these conditions compare to wizz air?
ryanair and co. are brutal employers but as we saw last year they are not invulnerable to industrial action.
at the end of the day we have them by the balls, planes don’t fly if we don’t fly them. All it takes is a bit of solidarity.
We can only blame ourselves for these conditions, when they are accepted by people (not judging you have to pay the bills) and by colleges in sister airlines (how safe do you think your job is when someone is doing the same job cheaper) it becomes the market rate.

time for european unions to show some leadership for their members and work together

Is anyone talking to you?

Obviously only of use to those who want to be UK based but Jet2 are recruiting A320 crew and offer vastly superior terms than these crooks for half the work, £120-130 k for a Captain for 500 hrs a year (higher level includes the bonus that is applicable in the second year)

Unfortunately A321, not A320. Anyway they don't provide any information about their requirements despite "min. 500 hrs flown on A321".

An A321 type rating is the same as an A320 one, and in plain English on the website it states 1000 hrs on type for Captain and 500 for FO...

I've received a brochure informing a potential €128k total remuneration for a 8 months contract for captains. It doesn't seem to be bad. Is it an improvement in T/C or there is something I can't see?

Checked that one for you and got the info that interpersonal has put all recruitment for Condor on hold, except those already invited.
Reason given is they won't be recruiting for them in the future, as LOT is going to do that from Warszaw.

Thanks for the intel safelie - thats quite unfortunate. I got in touch with interpersonal to get an update regarding the current status of the application, and what they recommend to do in case they already have stopped recruiting for condor. As far as i'm concerned interpersonal is still the single point of contact when it comes to German based Condor vacancies. So whom to contact instead? Hmm

this is exactly what they’re doing, they make brochures but it’s not what will be in your contract, I just experienced this.

Interpersonal
 

Just be aware that Interpersonal does not look at your personal result in the one and only test they have. They just look at the avarage result of the last 1000 persons they tested (regardless if FO or CPT) and then they compare it with your result. If you are below the avarage you failed the test.

It's an 'effin joke: avg. Capt net would work out around 3.5k pm... Wizz Fo-s make more than that.

Is this outfit linked to the outfit that publicly claimed its captains earned 250k€ during a recent industrial dispute, when in reality few captains saw even half of that salary? Or am I thinking of a different low cost group?

Indeed!

And you’ll be surprised to hear how many people believed it!

Just got the PFO from Interpersonal regarding condor :( And i dont really know why.

Has anybody heard anything from Lauda recently?

Yes. Apparently they want to charge candidates for the assessment in the future. I guess that step has to be in place before the "bring-your-own-lube" assessments are about the start.

Are You in AirItaly? Maybe try to ask in Milano MXP Novotel on tuesday 24th february 2020, there is an Ryanair group Pilot roadshow dedicated to AirItaly Pilots, A330, A320, B737.

Also for Direct Entries?
