What makes Wideroe Dash-80 flying so "interesting" today, is that the approaches they use were designed for Twotter (could turn on a dime) at airfields built in the 60'ies (terrain)... VERY challenging.

Those who haven't tried our winter storms, better head for somewhere else. Winter in North-Norway is no kindergarten.

Crossunder:
If you/anybody require INFO about Wideroe's operations, you/they are obviously not "the right stuff".

Ramsay:
Your advice about riding jumpseat on WF in Jan/Feb up North is VERY GOOD.

Applicants with a B737 rating MAY not pass, no matter how good they are, because Wideroe have learned that training pilots whose only objective is to use them as a stepping-stone to build time, is pure waste of money.

And - please, all - don't go further OT on this thread.

I myself interpreted Margarita's topic as to "why post job info re airlines OUTSIDE Scandinavia on the Scandinavian Forum"?
