Conditions for Transavia Pilot Jobs
last update
Roster Our classification period is 35 days of which 20 days will be working days and 15 will be free days (for full-time contracts). You are always free for at least 3 consecutive days and work for 6 consecutive days at the most. You can submit requests in the classification system (Jeppesen). LEAVE: Upon entering service, you are entitled to 19 paid holiday days and 6 scheduled days off. Apart from that, you have 4 days off that you can request after the publishing of your schedule (up to 1 per quarter). Given that you need to use 4 days to get 1 week of holiday, this gives you 7 weeks of holiday a year. Every pilot is entitled to a 3 consecutive week holiday in the summer period between May and September. Transavia has a production peak in the school holidays which means that you will not be granted the period of your choice every year. Granting of the requested holiday is done according to seniority and assigned ‘priority points’ (priority points are assigned when previous holiday requests are rejected).

Transavia Pilot Jobs Situation

last update
Current Situation:  
Company is undergoing a lot of changes lately, the new airbus is putting the company under a lot of pressure due to unfamiliarity with the new type. Captains and training department is a bit behind in terms of training and knowledge, expect to be trained by TRIs with 50 hours on the airbus. Flight deck and cabin atmosphere is rather tense. boeing seems more relaxed. some experienced crew feel they are being pushed out from the new joiners, expats are not very well treated, crew communication is only Dutch even if it is not a requirement. Company is considering allocating some resources to Brussels, not sure yet if the authority and the union will allow it. The airline plans for a Brussels base are rather sketchy at this stage.

Outlook:  
The hiring is slow despite in need of pilots.
