"MK has been hiring SAS f/os for years on short term contract during high season.
Normally these guys come by mid-Nov and stay until end of Jan.
Originally they were hired through Park, but as far as I know the last couple of years they were on direct contract. Some of these guys have been with MK 3-4 times.
They do not fall in the same league as normal recruits, as they normally take unpaid leave from SAS and come to MRU rated.
They enjoy 6000 EUR salary, 40000 MUR housing (almost double what is being dished out to us) and every single benefit that expat pilots have.
This is first hand info obtained from the people involved about 2 months ago."


Any thoughts about WHY the fairly high salary and housing? Maybe it's because they still have expenses at home for house/apartment, family etc. A short term contract for a place to live is not cheap. And I guess they relieve some of the guys down there, otherwise they wouldn't have been hired.

Just my 10 cents.

They will tell you that the tickets are free, but try and book a trip back to Euroland and you and your family of 3 or 4 will be paying 300-400Eur for those "free" tickets. Air France employees travel on Air Mauritius for less than Air Mauritius staff themselves, I kid you not, that is how they treat their staff. Among other things, they will indefinitely freeze your salary, cancel holidays at very short notice, and as for consecutive days off..........good luck, your roster will change by the hour.........

Free tickets your yourself and family!!!! The only free ticket you will get is the one to go to your interview…..Read the last few posts on that forum and you will see that FREE tickets are not free with Air Mauritius, they cost you a lot!!!!

Consecutive days off, yes 2 or 3 maximum normally….that way they keep you on the island and can call you to work on your days off!!!

Cheers

Out of curiosity, do you know if Air Mauritius accepts people that need glasses? On the application form they talk about a Jar Class 1 with no restriction

I met guy who was making the type rating and 500 hours with them, of course paying about 30 000 euros... When he finished his training he expected to be hired by them, but they just left him out

Fellow Ppruners,

Cheers

Latest offer for A340/A330 type rated co-pilots is now :

EUR 4100 p/m net (ie: after taxes) plus overtime on flight hours above 80.

8 days off per month.

EUR 900 p/m for accommodation.

The above is based on a 6 month contract.

Ok I've read most of them but still this is a chance I need to take. I was also wondering is the interview conducted in French for French native speakers? And where is the sim assessment done?

The assessment exercise will comprise of the following:

1. Personality & Psychometric tests (example logic thinking, critical reasoning etc.),
2. Interview with Management Pilots, HR Manager/Psychologist,
3. If successful at Steps 1 & 2, then simulator assessment.

Anyone knows where will be the sim assessment ?
And do they give you a technical interview as well because it is not really specified here...

You need to submit your application from the website of MK, and then they will call you for a screening, it seems they have regular screenings during the year, but they are very selective, only the very braves get hired... (that's what I heard) recently they interviewed 15 FO in France and none got the job, and same thing with 40 spanish pilots. Wondering if they are that desperate for pilots. Also some friends told me that it was the worst experience he had, and he did many interviews in his career. So we'll see how it goes.
