Of the ones that have been advertised recently;
OneAir - 74 Cargo job - 65K a year, 3 yr bond, needed to be near London. No non rated Dec positions and even if there were they were offering 85k for a Cpt.
TUI FO's- wanted to take 7k out of the pay for a 6 month contract!!
Titan - wanted EASA Licence holders.
Few private jet jobs - contacts based.
Like I said above, maybe Im missing something and would be really grateful if you can point me in the direction of where these jobs are advertised, because Im not seeing much at all! Thanks
TBH I think you are knit picking. Anyone that has been in the industry for 30 years will tell you of fallow periods where there were absolutely no jobs anywhere for UK pilots, let alone adverts for them. Post Air Europe, post 9-11 being two that easily come to mind. The current drought lasted 2 years during covid, but even during that there was hiring going on, although often through word of mouth. During the last year all the ads u list and more have popped up on various threads and more. So, yes, many required EASA, so I know quite a few peeps who have transferred at cost, or poorly paid, but at least you're keeping current or out of the UK. None of it is easy, it never was. . Its not worth the sweat worrying over ACMI, or fairness. All that went out the window 30 years ago.I hope you can keep plugging away and find the job you want.
