Yes, we look forward to receiving your application! A prerequisite is that you must have a fully valid passport and residence and work permits for Germany.

This is of course possible in principle. You will need to attend meetings in Germany during the recruitment process. If you can ensure this, we look forward to receiving your application.

No, please organize your accommodation yourself. We are unable to cover the costs of this.

During the training, you will receive standard pay based on your pay grade.

The training usually takes place very close to Frankfurt Airport.

Training takes place on a full-time basis. We would therefore advise against secondary jobs during training. Side jobs are possible as part of a permanent position and are generally approved by the fleet manager concerned.

If you did not pass our assessment, you can apply again two years later.

Please send us your application via career.aero/discover.

Ideally, you should apply to us approximately 9-12 months before the date you would like to join.

The starting salary per month (incl. shift bonus) is €5,000 as first officer and €8,500 as commander. The pay grade is based on the demonstrable hours flown.

The allowance for weekend and shift work (currently 16.3%) is generally paid tax-free.

Yes, Discover Airlines pays the statutory expense rates as published by the German Federal Ministry of Finance.

Salary grading is based on proven flying hours.

We always start on a full-time basis. After that, it is possible to apply annually for various part-time work models.

We always try to approve all requests, e.g. regarding part-time work and vacations. If this is not feasible in operational terms, we work on the basis of fairness and take social criteria into account.

With what is known as standby service, you must be able to reach your stationing location within 90 minutes. Apart from that, we do not have any regulations regarding your place of residence. However, we would like to point out that commuting is very costly and time-consuming, and we always expect our crews to be at work on time and to be rested.
