Boeing where did you apply in the pacific?
Has anyone applied to Primera air this year? I applied last week still have not heard anything? Does anyone know how many guys they are looking for? It seems like in the past they have recruited only 10-20 and had a huge number of applications I can't see how as it is only a summer contract....

I know of someone who joined as a Contract Capt, he has not much more than 500 Command time. Money is good, a 6 mth contract with very high possibility of extension (probably on 50% ) into the Winter.
Bases proposed were Billund, somewhere else I don't remember, and Iceland. Roster/ money was (if I remember correctly ) sightly better in Iceland.
You are employed via their Latvian AOC, as far as I know tax/social is YOUR responsibility.

Dont do it...
Primera has now started with their own TR courses and apparently 2016/17 course 13 out of 35 got hired......mostly pilots from Denmark who knew the TRIīs got a contract! During groundschool students were told 85% of the course students or everyone were needed for the summer to spread the word. Fully qualified pilots with 1000 to 2000+ hrs didīt get the job after completed TR. HQ in Riga was really badly organised and interviewer barely speaks english. Primera have found a new way to earn some cash. Captains are leaving and economy is going down! This is info i got from an inside source.
New course starting in fall 2017! Latvian AOC! You can figure out the rest!

Wow - that looks GOD AWFUL.
No surprise the strategy they are following which is similar to NAI in terms of circumventing expensive and inflexible Nordic labor laws... And yet they expect to fill their shiny new, transatlantic-bound 737-9 MAX aircraft with experienced crew. Good luck with that!

Well Iver, as it happens the good ole legacy carrier oop north is planning to follow its low cost rival with agency workers based in the UK (pre-Brexit at least). Looking at the package at hand, I wouldn't be surprised if you soon see a jump from blue to red.
