Conditions for Finnair Pilot Jobs
last update
Roster Random roster with at least 10 days off per month. Possible to bid up to 5,5 specific days off, but those are quite poorly granted. For every "burnt" off day request you are compensated 300 eur, so basically off day requests have been sold to the company. Roster published against the EASA rules only 7 days beforehand. Possibility to plan life ahead is very poor, and the company is not very interested in doing anything about it.
6/Mar/24
Leave According to the Finnish annual leave act. At least 30 paid days off per year.

Finnair Pilot Jobs Situation

last update
Current Situation:  
150 new pilots to join the company between fall '23 and spring '24, and now again a new major recruitement round started for pilots who will join during the 2nd half of '24. Overall the company is very different than it was before covid and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Due to much less own flying between Europe and Asia, company now has had various welease and co-operation schemes with other airlines. Currently flying BKK/SIN–SYD for Qantas until 2025, which means frequent week long trips down under for A330/350 pilots. Also HEL/CPH/ARN–DOH co-operation with Qatar airways on A330 going on until 2025. Return to the solid pre-covid strategy of flying mostly 3 day trips to Asia and back is not possible anymore due to Russia.
 
6/Mar/24
Outlook:  
Good at the moment. A320 upgrade to commander at the moment happens after around 8 years in the company.
