There is a small company in Europe - it has 140acft in the group - spread across five countries. In one group, it has 26yr old B737 Capts who started as 20yr old F/Os and were upgraded to Capt with only 4000hrs TT. They now fly with 19 and 20 yr old 250hr F/Os. Some new upgraded Capts are LTCs in their second year. The Cabin is crewed with 26yr old SCMs and 3 CCMs who are 19-22. God its great at the poolside !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not to mention the regions and environments they fly in - European charter ops to the Greek Islands/Middle East/North and West Africa/Carribean
European winter CAT3A/B, and Canadian winter contracts. What would you rather have, a night stop in Hokitika/Gisborne/Taupo in a B1900 or any of the above ?? - for the same training cost ????????
Ryanair crew composition is similar. 26 yr old Capt on NZ$144,000.
- How much did you calculate for the B737 Type rating ?
- and the pay back period ?
How many hrs does one need to meet the MINIMUM hrs for application for a SO position with the Koru?
