As with Pilotcnn, any info on the current interview process at Air Baltic for the B737's? Have searched through the forums but still a few gaps if anyone can help i.e. On the Sim session, any idea what you will be flying e.g. sid/star and even aircraft type (have seen cessna mentioned somewhere).

Also, ref the tech tests, is it all the atpl subjects or mainly just principles of flight and performance type questions. Same for the Tech interview is that mainly based on the B737.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.


All the best

Hi all done a fair bit of searching and cant find anybody else talking about interview for 75 FO job. I have an interview next week and was wondering if any one else was in the same boat. Any info on the technical tests and sim assesment would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Sorry that I dare to ask, but are you sure that they consider you for the 757? Does it say so in the invitation? Are you 757-rated? As far as I know are only honored BT employees considered to be on the 757... But of course I might be wrong.

islasdad

YES i am 757 rated so I assume that is what they are considering me for as that is what I applied for however I am sure alot of the procedure is the same so any info would be greatly recieved

I was there for the interview in 2005. So I can't tell you anything about the screening. I was there for 2,5 years. The mainreason why I had to quit was the f... schedule. As I see, you are from scotland. Be prepared to stay in RIX and not to see your family very often! RIX is not a very nice place to live. And it is outrageously expensive! If you have the chance, I strongly recommend you to apply somewhere else... (DHL UK, EAT).

I'm just an SLF, following this thread for like um... 6 months or so.

Seriously guys - if you are not sure about these interviews - I'm afraid to fly with you...

I really hope that you DO know your stuff when I'm aboard.

I have read everything I can on this outfit and I understand your reservations. However due tomy low hours and age I am struggling to get replies neve mind interviews therefore if they are willing to give me a start I will take it then move on when I have more time on type.

I have tried all your suggestions and never got an interview so if this lot are willing to take a chance on me I will live with the pain for as long as it takes.

Mr GinoPino

I had an interview (direct entry 737 pilot, rated but no hours on type) with this company almost 3 weeks ago on the 23rd of july, but no reply yet...this means i was unsuccessful or what?!

anyone else in the same situation?!

cheers

I'm afraid it was unsuccessful...
According to their previous behaviour they only let you know when you are hired. Bad, bad behaviour, but that is way they are. Words mean nothing to them. Former colleagues, which are still with them are constantly reporting that they still promise upgrades, but if you ask for the promise one day: then they AGAIN promoted somebody else instead (with a local passport)

I personally wouldn"t care so much about that, but I hate to be lied! If they would say right away: "We will never promote you, we always prefer locals!" then there is nobody to blame, but lying and promising hope, destroys working atmosphere and stokes internal envy.

SAS vil selge Air Baltic - Den latviske staten vil ikke helprivatisere.


Publisert: 14.08.08 13:23, Oppdatert: 14.08.08 13:49

SAS selger sin aksjeandel på 47,2 prosent i det latviske flyselskapet Airbaltic, melder Reuters.
Årsaken er at latviske myndigheter, som sitter på 48 prosent av aksjene, ikke ønsker å gi majoritet til en privat eier.
E24 Børs: Følg SAS-aksjen på Oslo Børs
– Bryter med strategien
– Vi ønsket å ha aksjemajoriteten i selskapet, slik at vi kan gjøre det vi mener er best. Nå har den latviske regjeringen gjort det klart at de ikke ønsker privatisering, og vi selger derfor vår andel, sier investorkontakt Sture Stølen til E24.
SAS har ikke besemt når salget skal gjennomføres, eller fastsatt noen pris for andelen.
– Vi har bestemt oss for å gjøre en exit. Når den kommer, er fortsatt usikkert, sier Stølen.
SAS slår forventningene, til tross for at resultatet endte på minus 106 millioner kroner.

I guess this is, what is means in english:

STOCKHOLM, Aug 14 (Reuters) - Scandianvian airline SAS (SAS.ST: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) said on Thursday it planned to sell its 47.2 percent stake in airBaltic.

"I can confirm that," SAS spokesman Mikael Lindberg said when asked whether SAS planned the sale.

SAS said its decision was due to the fact the Latvian government had recently dropped plans to privatise airBaltic.
