Skybus Isles of Scilly

I imagine you have already applied then as the application window closes Oct 31st? (Sorry don't have a link)

Yes they recruit a wide variety of people and there is no minimum hour requirements. They like people to be currently flying or at least have done a bit in the last year so they are up to speed, while all the training is done on the actual aircraft, it is a beast and there is little time to waste on getting people current again.

In the last 2 years they have recruited:

2 fresh CPL's < 300 hrs
3 FI's 700 - 2000 hrs
2 Parachute/former bush flying guys 800 - 2000 hrs
1 type rated
1 ex RAF
2 ex Susi Air guys

Hope that gives some insight, also you need to be able to surf or be willing to learn

There are up to 7 positions available due to many people moving on to bigger things. Best of luck
