Hiring selectively

Part of the Lufthansa Group group: also Lufthansa Cargo

A 'Fast Track Upgrade to Captain' direct-entry advert (Florence and Verona; min 3,000 h airline and 3 years as FO; entry bonus) is posted on the Lufthansa profile of the job board connecticum; applications go to the Air Dolomiti pilot recruitment department. Crowdsourced data (Sep 2025) describe a captain shortage, planned 3-year secondments of captains/experienced FOs from Lufthansa Group airlines, and a positive hiring picture. The airline's own careers site blocks automated reading, so no own-site advert could be opened.

No official pay scale is published.

Pay = fixed base plus extra duty-hour pay plus per diems; hours credited as duty hours or block hours x 2.225, whichever is higher, with surcharges above 120 duty hours, doubled above 170. The pilot company agreement dating from 2007 was renewed in Dec 2024 (announced by Uiltrasporti) with a total increase above 20% over three years and more rest days; no figures from the new agreement were published, so the crowdsourced figures may predate it.
