Conditions for DHL Air UK Pilot Jobs
last update
Roster Previously lots of positioning around the network on the 767 but BALPA have successfully reduced that and now positioning is either on the jumpseat (numbers capped), Business Class and if neither available then premium economy. Block Hours usually less than 400 per year but a lot of TAFB. Up to 12 day trips but only doing 5 flights - good time off down-route.
27/Apr/25
Leave 42 days plus 8 golden days (guaranteed days off). 50 total.
27/Apr/25
Staff travel Currently no staff travel although this is being reviewed. You can travel on the jumpseat anywhere on the DHL network (restrictions to the U.S. apply), however this is only available to the pilot, not family and friends.

Discounted holidays No
