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
Absolutely.
So in order to achieve that number of hours the pilot/contractor would have to be willing to accept the T&Cs imposed by the airline, which might involve a change of base, as suggested by CaptPlayStation (and possibly a reduction in pay depending if and when the rumoured EURO 800/month drop in pay is imposed).
Great flexibility and low risk for the employer, but high risk and possible lack of flexibility for the pilot/contractor.
What other industry in the World would expect you to fork out EURO 10,000+ and guarantee only 6 months work, with a possibility of more work if you're willing to possibly up sticks and move elsewhere?
For the record I've been permanently employed and bonded and also worked on contract as a type rated pilot on a short-term contract.
Never paid for a type rating and never heard of paying for a type rating for a short-term contract, especially on such vague T&Cs - unless you enter the world of the P2F.
This trend (if I've interpreted the job correctly) tends to make easyJet and Ryanair employers of choice in comparison!
No mention in the NAS advert of who pays for uniform, security pass, car parking and other direct costs in connection with your employment?
