    starts off at 33k and rises 1.5k annually for 17 years until the ceiling is reached at about 58k, shift allowance and weekend work without OT is another 3-4K........................Top recruit on the course gets a 50k bonus....................................................... (-;

    Well that's not near as good as DFB . 5 year DFB get 50,000

    10 years €60,000

    So is it €33k plus about 4k allowences!

    €37 k first year?

    You won't get many discussing this stage or future stages. It's too far into the competition and you don't know who is watching!

    Hello everyone

    I am looking for a bit of clarification on this.....

    The max pay is 60k + or thereabouts. Not sure about the incremental scale but its mostly every year for an increment.

    Firstly, is the ceiling €58k or €60k? and is this before or after any shift/night/weekend rates/allowances have been added?

    Secondly, as Tintin8 asked, is the first year €33,600 plus allowances (approx 3/4k) or is this figure already inclusive?

    I just want to get a better idea of what the actual earnings will be like, will it be approx €37,000 in the first year?

    I would hazard a guess and say its 33,600k per year and the allowances are on top of this as surely the allowances will vary for each FF depending on his/her shift pattern and rotations etc

    Yep thats what i would imagine too, just that someone said to me that the €33,600 was the total, and that the allowances and premiums were taken into account within that figure....

    (the person did not work for DAA and i forgot to ask where they got this info)

    Is anyone in a position to confirm with 100% certainty that there is an extra 3/4k a year on top of the €33,600

    thanks

    Nothing is certain unless it comes from DAA HR. Why not ring them? they are really helpful

    I went to look at the original recruitment announcement (inviting applications) and it has been taken offline since the closing date has passed.

    Did anybody screenshot it?

    I would say you wont be the only one. hard luck anyways but remember how far you got so that's an achievement as it is.

    The fitness test is harder than it looks.

    Im looking forward to the next round. gonna be a tough one

    The conversation has almost died in here leading me to believe not many made it through.

    Either that or people are not giving anything away

    I can't see too many failing the physical tests. Which will leave the guts of 100 for the interview for 10/15 places.

    10/15 places yes but a panel of roughly 30 is whats been repeated from guys/girls who sat the last interview. it's what was said at the end of the interview
