Gents, there is not much about NLH on this forum because honestly, any info with at least a touch of validity is a scarce commodity

What s the use for instance of publishing the rosters if they constantly change? Be ready for just about anything, sometimes you ll have five days off in a row, but then 20 days away as well. You ll be commuting between bases, never knowing for sure your next day or week. Of course a positive change is "just around the corner", its only hard to say which one. If you think about it realistically, the plan is to open destinations on all five continents, which means with the low budget mentality, the chaos is to be expected for years to come.

As far as the recruitment process goes, streight foward, after prior online psycho tests a small presentation with little info (or enthusiasm) provided, an interview with who you are, what do you expect, with one or two general tech questions and the sim.

The sim is on a 737 and you are basically expected to go through a rushed 45 minutes OPC, including an engine out at vr and single engine np approach with all of the relevant checklists. And that with no prior explanations nor help. Needles to say, if you re 737 type rated, its an easy task, otherwise you may feel like an idiot in a plane you have never touched before.

Adding this to the fact that the company does not even deem it necessary as a gesture of respect to pay even for a single night of hotel accomodation for you in Oslo, you will leave with the feeling of knowing fairly well of what you are getting into. A low budget airline with a very blurred future and questionable employee treatment, but, if thats your ultimate goal, you can fly a dreamliner.
