If you can swim and use an inflatable lifevest, and even better - swim with the lifevest - then you'll be fine. Mind the water in the swimming pool might be a bit chilly, but at least you'll have a refreshing morning swim. Good luck!

pipistrelle,
I think they don't want people with your kind massive experience.
They know full and well, that the T&C's they're offering is nothing to endure over a longer period of time. Hence, they know you'd be leaving at the first opportunity you'd get.
Given your experience, that could happen just about any day now.....

They want people that they know they've got "by the b*lls", so to speak.

Commander-, or F/O-newbie, eager to build up a good deal of hours, before moving on to pastures green(-er).

current and up to date?

Hi everyone!

May be some of you knows about AB cadet school? What is required, and so on. Because I have passed assesment tests at FTE Jerez, and now I'm searching how to get further, because education there is a bit expensive (95k eur) to pay for it, as I live in Latvia, I would like to work on AB, so now try'n to collect information about their cadet school. May be some of you was participated, or just know something about it.

It would be very kind if you reply, thanks in advance!

they have specific expectations

The profile of the hired people are mainly low experience pilots.
They do not hire direct entry captain. They just want low profile pilot. They have the captains. They need the FOs.

Air Baltic Interview

Hi all

I got an invite to Air Baltic today for sim session next week. I have 2600 hours, 2200 multi PIC, 600 King Air 200.

What I dont know is wether Im being invited for Q400 or A320 interview as I know they are upgrading fleet and according to PCC website only have 1 Q400.

Is anybody in the same boat as me and a bit unsure of what is going on. I have just been told to report for interview and sim session.

Terms and Conditions at AB

Hello @all,

I am new to this forum and need some information concerning AB.

I have received an invitation for next week, applying for a DEC on the Dash, for the time I am rated on a Turboprop over 20t with total more than 5000 hours, 3000 PIC.

Anyone working for AB here?

Do they offer part time jobs?

Still problems with duty plans known as written here before?

Thank you for your help.

More information

Hi Guys

Don't want people to repeat themselves, I know there is a lot of information on this thread but.....

Does anybody have more info on the questions asked in the technical interview - the B737 and also the general ATPL questions?

Any heads-up would be much appreciated

I finally received an invitation to the AB assessment which feels great.

I wonder if anyone who has gone through it recently to what depth the questions go to for the 737? An example maybe?

Is there anyone else going to Riga next wednesday?

Hi

Has anybody who attended selection on 10th August heard anything yet?

Is it true to say that if you do not hear back quickly from airBaltic then it is not normally good news?

Cheers

Hi everyone,

I am attending the selection process next monday and they sent me an e-mail with all the information about the selection process within two days after I submitted my application form.

Has anyone been to Riga recently and tell us about his/her experiences there?


Thanks a lot.
