There was very little bull**** in WA and a good head office team.
Not to put anyone off, but freight Ops with WA was very much up to the two pilots - there is minimal support on the ground - (but a good Ops team on the phone). You need to be pro-active and basically organise most of the elements of the shift yourselves, including taxis to hotels etc. If you are coming from a passenger airline and are used to having a cabin crew, food, creature comforts and ground agents, it is a bit bare and basic, but you can learn your skill, and get into the LHS.
Thanks for that information, much appreciated
I am a low hour so this would be my first flying job. But I fit the requirements set out for the FO NTR position, so am hoping something positive comes soon
