[atila_101]

Hi everyone there!!!

Does anyone of you have some info about this cia. called DAE based in dutch antilles, aircrafts, rosters, payments, etc, etc, ....
They offer to finance yourself a TR in case you do not have one which fits woth the fleet they fly, are they serious? I do no want to lose more money than the necessary.
I have 200 TT and would fly anything, understand if such an offer apperas one would accept.

Thanks to all who can apport something.

A great little airline in an area of the world you love to life. Previous owners doddgy current set up and management much better.

good luck

It sounds like a good deal.What types do they fly?would they give guaranteed employment to someone who pays for the rating?

[Lil' Pilot]

Currently they operate 3x ATR42's. They operate just a couple of routes... Curacao, Bonaire, Aruba, St. Martin and Valencia. As I understand it's good fun flying for them. Heard something of jets (F70/100?), and expanding so it looks good you would say. They're looking for ATR, Fokker Capt's and F/O's. Type-rating costs varies for type of aircraft. PM me if you would like some more details. Overall it seems a good company, in a wonderful environment...and of course you'll be flying!

Good luck guys

thanks

[nopoal]

Also, does anybody know where selections take place? While I wouldn't mind working there , getting the necessary time off and going there at my expense just for an interview and a couple of technical exams is a bit naff... then again, if it's done in the Netherlands, it's another matter!

It has been mentioned they do a Jeppesen Airway Manual test... what's that? Anything to do with the JAA ATPL Flight Planning exam? They also say the selection process CAN include a sim check ride; is it only for non-type rated applicants or for everyone? Anybody knows on what sim?

Thanx for the answers!

ok buddies,

i found out why i could not get any information about the company...cuz dutch antilles express is the airlines new name...try www.bonaire.com...that should give some information...

once i applied,they cam back to me one week later saying:" if you are still intetestead and available,please let me know as soon as possible by e-mail. i will contact you then and inform you about the procedure"....thatīs it,this was 3 weeks ago and nothing happened...did anyone receive the same reply???

thankful for any information on this....

[atila_101]

dae dutch antilles

hi wingmaan

I reeived the same reply almost 4 weeks ago, i wrote them and said i'm available but nothing yet.
I suppose I will write them again asking if it's still going on or what...

Nice landings.
Atila.

[wingmaaan]

hi atila,

do so and let me know what you found out, guess itīs enough if one of us rings them up...

what do you know about dae??
do you know anything about their selection-process??

[european champion]

I have received an answer from them confirming that they have received my application but since then no further correspondance.Anyone found out if recruitment is still on?

[Captain Volmer]

Info

They ask 20000 Euro for Type Rting and plus 15000 as bond for 3 years.
Total 35000 euro
Regards

[european champion]

Thanks for the info.Should i wait for them to contact me or give them a call?Do u know how many fos they need?

[FougaMagister]

They also ask for a 10,000 Euro/3 year-bond for type-rated applicants... How they can justify that I don't know!

Cheers

[atila_101]

I just received an email on friday night.

The Fokker course starts on April the 10th and the ATR course starts on April the 20th. and also received some info about where to put the money in case I accept the conditions. Maybe it's quite interesting if nothing else.
But I think it can be quite precipitated, the first course starts in less than one week.

Greetings.
Atila.

Same for me

[wingmaaan]

and same for me,
that is definitely too early,i told them and asked for a later appointment to start, so far no reply..

[european champion]

That sounds a bit strange!I thought they were supposed to do assesment tests and interviews.Did you guys do any of these?It just seem to me strange that they expect a guy that they have never seen to send him a contract,ask him to put money into their account and send him for training with such short notice!

[FougaMagister]

Champion, pls read and clear your PM box. It's full.

Cheers
