Fastest Comands
Hello.
I am B737-800 F/O and I am searching airlines which have a fast comand program. I have around 6000hours, and right now the airline I am flying with is not on its best moment. So what companies around the world you think an European pilot could work and get a comand in around a year?

Try Ryanair, they are expanding on your aircraft type...
As you do not have command time yet, expect a year or so RHS, 2 LCK's essentially, before being able to go through upgrade.
Captains and First Officers B737NG Type Rated positions
Due to the addition of new aircraft to the Ryanair fleet over the coming 5 years we are currently recruiting for a limited number of Direct Entry Rated and First Officer positions. There are a number of contract options available; we are seeking Captains and First Officers for direct employment with Ryanair, contract positions and employee positions with other agencies.
What’s on offer?

I know of someone who joined British Airways non-rated on the A320 last year, having been a Dash 8 captain with FlyBe. He applied to be a captain at LGW and got it - he will take around 18 month from joining to being a captain. You will look long and hard to beat that I would think.

If you have the required command hours you might get a command quickly in BA next year, however BCN makes no mention of having the required command hours for such a fast-track route to command.
My prediction for what it is worth, is that with lots of very junior pilots joining the bottom of the captains' list this year, the position will be considerably more attractive for the more senior FOs next year. This year's occurence is unlikley to be repeated as a result.

If you join Ryanair as a direct entry rated FO it will take around 18 months before you could commence Command Upgrade training. You would be required to attain the required grades in your initial OCC sim training and then two recurrent sims. Accompanying this you would have three line checks (3 months apart) before you would go on the annual line check system. You would also have to complete one full winter season. After each simulator and line check the trainer would fill in a command upgrade assessment that is attached to your file. After all those boxes are ticked you will do coaching and assessment flights from the RHS and upon successful completion you will do a command interview with the training department. Once all of that is complete you would be eligible to commence a course when there is a requirement.
As I said plan for 18 months minimum.

Pegasus advertising for Senior FOs for upgrade "within a year". It's on their website.
Crazy with BA commands running at 18 months! I know quite a few BA long haul FOs who have been in BA for 7-10 years. I never discussed it with them but I guess they are holding out for LH commands then?
