Many dual tax treaties between countries state that crew members should pay their income taxes in the country where the airline has its headquarter, but it's still a very grey area.

For a long time now airlines got creative (eg. using the many loopholes provided by national, bi-lateral and EU tax regs and legislations). Employees are kind of riding the "bus" under the impression (were made beleive by magenta/orange/red/blue/"insert any other color here" presentations by their respective HR departments) that they have got a good deal by paying tax here, socal security there whilst being based elsewhere. These are the realities of flying for an outfit in Euroland these days I'm afraid. All is good and well until the taxman sends you a letter or worse comes knocking down your door.

I applied both for the previous position in Palma (some moths ago), and also for Prague, very recently.
In both cases I received the same identical email, saying that due to the large number of applications, the process might take long time.
It's understandable, considering the amount of experienced pilots on the ground.
Do you guys think with a TR on the 320 and low hours on type I could have any chance with them ?

No. You don't have any experience.

I didn't say I don't have any exprerience, low but still something.
Considering that on the website they didn't mention any requirement (TR "just" preferable indeed), I was wondering

It worst the shot, you don't know what might happen in the futur. For PRG base they are looking for ex CSA crew, because they only intend to base 2 or 3 A320 for the winter season. However they may increase the operation for the next summer season, and therefore need people. Wait and see.

Hello everyone!
Does anyone got an invitation for Eurowings? did they start to call No type-rated pilot?
Thanks so much!

Hi. Anyone knows if they will hire for the Stockholm Base?

They received more than 6000 aplications for the PRG base (CC & FC). I think they have enough to dig in.
I won't hold my breath

hi guys, anyone knows how to prepare the apt exam for Ewings? I´ve heard it comes from "ACE", but ill appreciate if someone know something else.

regards

Check out the German pilot forum, there is a little more insight with regard to the ATPL exam for the EW IP BQ.
Did you receive an invitation for the BQ for PRG base?

Thanks! Im new here so I can't find the German forum :), can you send me a link if you find something about it? I got the invitation for November, the send me an email to choose between the 10th 11th and 12th of November. I'll go on the 10th.

You should check pilotenboard.de and you'll need Google translate. You'll find some questions and info. For the EW IP BQ SkyTest is recommended (80 EUR).
Haven't done the test myself yet, but if I have more info I'll share. Good luck!

I am also there on the 10th

Hi guys.
Has anyone passed the BQ that can tell me what the content is or what to expect in the next phase? Is it just Simulator Screening or is it SIM and CQ on the same day?
Cheers

The next phase consists in a simulator screening. If you pass it, you will be called some time later for the CQ. So no, the sim and the CQ aren't on the same day.

Hi Don
Any tips for the Sim Session?
Thanks

Depending if you're rated or non-(airbus)-rated. Think the non-rated go for FNPT2 simulator; the rated go for FFS on A320.

The rated session is pretty standard, straight forward. All raw-data with manual thrust. Start on the runway, fly a SID; Radar vectors for airwork (steepturns, slow flying with flaps2, climbing/descending turns). Vector for holding point, make your entry and set up for ILS approach. During GA you'll get OEI, same again only this time a non-precision approach.

Thereafter self-debriefing and finished.

(Your PM is a company pilot, but he only works on your command. And is not allowed to help or take over)

Stuntpiloot! Many thanks!

What do you mean by self-debriefing? No technical questions on the briefing and debriefing?

:ok:

They will ask you after the session, what you think/feel about the screening etc

As for (de)briefing, everything is nicely explained. If you're unfamiliar they will explain (for example LIDO charts). No memory items, limitations or questions asked

Thank you Stuntpilot. Captains have the same screening session? Any LOFT scenario?`
Do you have some detailed information about the airport? Where are you going to depart from? Dusseldorf or Vienna or Bremen?

Both seats have the same screening, only captains do an extra LOFT.
It will be a small & easy fault, only focussed on the problem solving technic & CRM.

Airport and faults are depending on the instructor of the day, but normally a big German airport (Frankfurt, Dusseldorf, Bremen, etc)
They will let you know, once you enter the simulator

Thanks alot for your answer Stuntpiloot.

Hi all,
Manage to find the German forum but only states the Skytest. Prep. Any good?
How about the LatestPilotJobs Assessments prep. for the EW IP BQ? I haven't seen anyone mentioning it.

Btw, did anyone passed the EW BQ lately and some feedback and doesn't mind to share?

How is the ATPL questionnaire? very basic or "deep back to school"

Thanks and safe flights

From a friend I heard that they do are hiring. They will fly more airplanes this summer than intially planned. (This counts for both Eurowings Europe and Eurowings GmbH/Germany)
However Eurowings GmbH (german bases) is currently hiring exclusively from within the Lufthansa Group (ex 4U/SXD crews). They also screened/hired a bunch of Lufthansa cadets fresh out of their type ratings.
Eurowings Europe no idea how things look there exactly except that they are looking for pilots for their Prague and Stockholm bases. But you will find more information on the career.aero website.

You are guessing wrong, I have been there for screening, non rated. They put you in a FFS and expect you to fly within type rating limits even if you newer saw the flight deck of an Airbus before. No LOFT element at all, no difference between a experienced CPT and a low hour FO, requirements for a screening which are not even part of any typerating, I did some but cant remember having flown a manual holding as a single hand pilot ever. So think twice if you want to spend time and money for requirements you might not be able to fullfil.

can I ask you if you are a cadet? Non-rated, no experience? Because they replied me that they are looking for rated candidates only

@ Sainz96: 30 years experience, but no Airbus rating

Hello lovely people.

I applied last year in July (fATPL, ntr) and never got an answer.

I have just received an email now where they ask me to confirm wether I’m still interested in working with them, as they will start inviting for assessments pilots with no type.

Is anybody in the same situation?

Same situation. It's probably a standard email that goes out to all applicants who have been in the system as NTR for a while.
Never the less, I was of course still interested!

The demand is present. However they are simply lacking training capacity/simulator availabilities. Hence not hearing from them. Right now they are busy getting their own cadets through the Type Rating and Lufthansa cadets through the OCC as fast as possible to be ready for summer. Thats the Eurowings Germany side of things. However some of the Eurowings cadets are going to european bases also.

Yep that's me, the same situation!

Hopefully, they will invite us soon!

Received an email today to sign a document that had something about Consent and data release. Anyone else has news? Does anyone knows when are they planning to start to invite cadets for the assessments?

Lufthansa Group Cadets are being called throughout the year. Some are within their Type Rating while others are doing the OCC. Last Info was also that they are continue calling cadets throughout the year for their 2023 demand

BQ in HAM
 

Hi!

Just saw on the net EW hiring Captains for European bases.

Anyone who went through Basic Qualification BQ lately?

I heard for Captains it’s a bit reduced compare to BQ for cadets.

Most info in other forums as pilotenboard.de it’s outdated.

Thanks!

No, the company running the test has got only one test which they use for all airlines, your result will be compared with the last 2000 results, if you are below the actual average of these tests you fail. Have been told so by an employee of the company by mistake....
There is absolutely no difference between experienced captains and low hour FOs.

Does anyone have details about the "Fast Track Upgrade" recruitment? How does t work?
(only Stockholm?)

I also received the same email regarding the Data Release. Does anyone know something about the structure of the EW assessments in the past? I don't feel like paying 40€ at latestpilotjobs...
