There are number of question you have to ask yourself before applying for any job, but the first should be 'is there a sustainable need for your services' there are a good number of people coming up to the end of their first 2 year contract with Norwegian (Confair/ARPI/PARC) the Confair agency crews have been offered a 3 month extension until Jan 2015 but this appears to be more to do with whether Confair will continue to be an agency provider going forward because they pay their contractors as self employed, something that Norwegian have banned, meanwhile ARPI are happy to extend contracts by a further two years.

A non type rated pilot would not amass the required experience for command within a year, most F/O's who joined 2 years ago and meet the command requirement and passed the assessment were upgraded with 12-15 months of starting
