Hi murdock,
I have been there, the technical questions were : what systems are driven by stby hyd sys. Apu usage limitations, elec light on the electrical panel, determination of wet, contaminated rwy, dest altn requirements,what is rnav generally, long range cruise determination. Basically they are very friendly. They are focusing on professional issues and your relation with aviation. They are from the "flieger society". In the sim very correct, the focus on the basic flying skills. I hope I've helped You. Wish youthe best !

I'm sorry, but that is not a very good contract. I am a BBJ FO with a (on paper, not quite the real case atm) 30/30 rotation and making close to double of that salary, and double the per diem. I am surprised that is the best PrivatAir can do. I guess it's a sign of the sad state of aviation in Europe.
I suppose it can be good as a stepping stone and to build experience, but definitely not competitive with most BBJ jobs out there. I hope PrivatAir don't expect people to stick around under those terms.

Xolon yes thats exactly what they sent me. I'm not interested in that conditions becouse I have better options. It is really poor contract we are speaking about B737NG pilots, a lot of jobs out there for us.
I'm working right now but looking to improve my Job conditions and of course Privatair with this contract is far away to do it so I don't care this offer and I expect they don't find people that accept It.

My thoughts exactly and the reason why I kindly rejected the offer. And that while I'm flying for Europe's favorite lowcost (
).
Note: your not even flying on a BBJ, it's a normal pax configuration wet lease to fly for a Congolese airline.

Hi, for those of you who are going for the sim assessment. Please brush up on your raw data and manual flying. It really has to be very good if you want to pass the sim. A lot of people are falling over at this hurdle.
Thanks and good luck
And the tax depends on how many children you have, whether you are married or not and whether your partner works. So it's not a simple dry cut answer.
