Non type rated 737NG Low hour first officers
Has anyone got any more information on this opportunity?
It seems too good to be true, do jobs like this actually exist anymore?
The agency don't have a history of pilot recruitment and won't disclose any informations on it and which airline?
I think it's a scam and they just want details of pilots or maybe will be asking for money later down the line! Oh please pay us for a sim check, which then gets cancelled!

Whats the old saying ? " if it sounds too good to be true. . .it probably is" 
Well, no harm in applying & pursuing the "opportunity" until the 60,000$ question arrives. . . . let us know.

By " low Hours" I assume they mean relatively, as they ask for an ATPL and glass cockpit, s either 1500hrs under the old system or at least 500 multi pilot multi crew.. or am I missing something?

Could it possibly be Thomson? They're a charter airline that operates 737s and I'm pretty sure they have a link to Canada...
But it does sound as if it could be too good to be true.

A title invented to pay less than normal First Officer pay I would imagine. Other companies use Second Officer , or Junior First Officer.
Bottom line is that if you are checked out & operating in the RHS you are "First Officer" & if I pop my clogs, promoted to Captain. . . end of.

Last week these guys were touting the same job (by the sounds of it) for a salary of up to £45k (First Officers) so I guess the difference between 1st & 3rd Officers is about £10k

UnemployedFO,
I'm going to assume you are an unemployed FO who is desperately looking for their first big break.
If so, then you are a complete fool.
If my assumption is not correct then I do apologise.

Good luck Unemployed FO I fully sympathise with your position and hope that some fortune comes your way eventually.

The £45k position is, allegedly, for a Type Rated FO. After speaking with the recruitment firm concerned they told me summer is spent in 1 of a few UK bases, and winter is spent in Canada. Sadly though, they were unable to tell me the name of their client.
Not like there's a cruise pilot on 737's

the airline is thomson,
i spoke to someone i know today that works for c&m recruitment and they told me that thomson came to them for 12 pilots, for which interviews have already been arranged.
the agency is continuing to advertise the vacancy to increase their CV database of pilots to effectively make it seem like they are a big agency and to get details of wannabe/low hour pilots

So one person confirming it is thomson and another confirming its not thomson.....
I personally think it has to be.
Big kick in the nads for us hold poolers who initially all applied and interviewed for a full time position at Thomson last year.
Only to be told we had passed but could only be offered a temp position. A few months down the line and it would appear the job we applied for is being advertised once again albeit with some time spent in canada. Something that i would personally love to do.
Oh well, maybe Thomson isnt the shinier than shiny airline we all thought it was.
