When times were better for aviation, back to 2018, I applied for EW, reaching the final stage of the selection process, and not getting the job at the end (I was still non-rated).
Now I'm rated on the A320, on the ground due to the pandemic, but there are thousands of pilots much more experienced than me who applied for the same position.
The only thing we can do is to hope, maybe a day the pandemic will come to an end !

Hi guys,

EW is advertising both seats again; anybody knows if they’re looking to actually hire anytime soon? Any hindsight on the selection process?

Thank You

Hi Giord, hi everyone ,
I am also currently seeing the application for the first officer at EW but I do not understand if it is for type rated only or also for those who do not have it.
If someone can enlighten us I will thanks so much in advance!

The ad clearly states "A320 type rated".

It clearly states:

• Preferably with A320 type rating

Not in the title of the ad.
In the requirements they write "preferably with A320 type rating", so I suppose they will give way to type rated people, maybe also with austrian or german license.

Hey folks

I applied for the job, 737TR with hours on type. They quickly replied and confirmed that they give priority to 320TR + exp (ex CSA crews seems to be the target). Other profiles will be processed later on.

It would appear they only want locals and German speaking, what a waste of time and effort. They advertise for the sake of advertising and to show they are transparent when they are not.

for the german bases they are looking for german speaking only. For EW EU the story could be different, I don’t know.

Given the T&Cs i doubt they will find people.

Not true. German "desirable".

Eurowings Germany is ok, depending in experience, not sure about EU

EU contract is absurd.
Worth for fellows living in PRG.

About half of CSA salary (pre covid), not sure about Smartwings and Ryanair who also has PRG base.

TVS used to pay reasonable money to summer contractors from the outside, 2020 offer was 13k €/m self-employed. Almost the same amount in 6 months as the local lads would earn over the whole year.

Little afraid to calculate how much 50% of salary from a failed EE legacy actually is.

Anyone with detailed numbers?

Not looking good, at all.

I know people without even a high school diploma making more than FOs. Variable payment included.

Jeez, wish I didn't ask ... Come on, 80 gross would be 48 net, i.e. 4 k p.m. Half that?

They certainly did underestimate the running rate for tax accountants in Austria.

If you have a Czech contract and based in PRG (so probably living there) you should not pay your tax in Czech Republic ?
