Loganair

[Arctic Circle]

Anyone know if Loganair are currently recruiting pilots? Also, can pilots fly both the DHC-6 & SF34 or are they limited to one type? Thanks in advance...

[ABO944]

Loganair are overcrewed at the moment.

Recently taken on a lot of new bods, so would only start recruitment again if a fair few buggered off to pastures new.

Not sure if there are any pilots flying both to Otter and Saab .... sorry, can't help on that one.

[DB6]

Otter and Islander - yes; Otter and Saab - no.
No recruitment likely for the next couple of months at least.

[Arctic Circle]

Thanks for the replies, much appreciated.

[Errol Sinclair]

According to their website Loganair are now recruiting pilots.
Anyone have an idea of the salary for DECs. Someone mentioned 40k - is this accurate?

All the best

[combineharvester]

Website may be slightly out of date, if you read further it says "courses start in December (i.e 2007) and mid January 2008" Your figure is about right for a capt. I think a lot of the content of the new look website was a bit of a copy & paste job from the previous one.

hope this helps,

[Errol Sinclair]

Duh! I missed that bit :\
Might just try it anyway!

Thanks for your help combineharvester.

[MIKECR]

Theyre not recruiting just now. Hold pool is full and no movement expected for some time.

[DB6]

Without wishing to be too discouraging, don't be surprised if you don't hear anything back. The hold pool is indeed full and DE unlikely as there are quite a few SFOs ready to go LHS, plus which there were a few DECs in the last intake which has made up the numbers a bit. Flybe probably a better bet just now.

[Errol Sinclair]

Thanks for the info everyone!

Hey guys n gals

Whats the latest with Loganair ?

I hear something about freight work coming along and another Saab ... is that correct?

Will they be recruiting again in the near future?

Cheers :)

[mikehammer]

I don't work for Logan so can only report what is local rumour and speculation, which is that yes they have apparently won the Royal Mail night freight route from Aberdeen to Edinburgh. I don't know about recruitment, one or two people have indicated the new route will mop up some of the existing surplus crew due to being slightly over crewed.

Again, I stress it's just local rumour.

[mikehammer]

Logan are currently operating the INV to Benbecula mail contract using what appears to be a wet leased SF340. At least they were a week ago when I was last in inverness.

[Callsign Kilo]

A Logie pilot informed me that the freight SF340s may be on the verge of being utilized on both day and night contracts. Were these aircraft not the previously passenger configured SF340As? I believe they are flown by Loganair crew. It would make sense as the airline had been overstaffed, with crew being moved from the likes of GLA and EDI to ABZ and DND (so I'm told). With the very low turnover rates there is no signs of recruitment and indeed no need to because several people are still placed in a holding pool.

[combineharvester]

2 "A"s Based ABZ do ABZ-EMA-ABZ & ABZ-EDI-FSS-ABZ for royal mail. These used to be in pax config and sit unused during the day (for now at least). Crewed by Logan pilots. 1 "A" Based INV is a wet lease from Avion Express doing the western isles run during the day.

[Steam Catapult]

are loganair pilots getting any increase in salary this year?

thanks

[captplaystation]

Ha Ha Ha ! ! :D :D :rolleyes: ;) :ok:

Yeah, just like every other airline is looking forward to :=

[JB007]

We got 3.5%...:ok:

[5 RINGS]

seriously?

was it down to management's goodwill or Balpa's hard work?

[Tubbs]

Balpa/recognition of good work, safe, on-time/company doing rather well despite recession

[5 RINGS]

so what's Y1 SF340 F/O salary now then?

[w3andw4d]

We got 3.5% last year!

We are still waiting for negotiations to conclude this year.

[Steam Catapult]

how have the negotiations on salaries gone this year?

any salary increase for year 09/10?

it seems from the outside that loganair are doing ok what with picking up the mail contracts from ABZ and INV.

[5 RINGS]

seems like they're too busy negociating to bother answering...:}

[jetstreamtechrecords]

I hear the IOM based S340 is being pulled back to base and IOM routes will be servrd with an EDI aircraft and the DND BHD IOM will continue. IOM aircraft will be used for GLA LBA?:confused:

[jetstreamtechrecords]

Little old Manx2 seems to be kicking :mad: down in IOM. The BHD IOM rotation by the DND aircraft is being canned so is DND BHD for the chop to?:}

[wishicouldland]

JSTR

Don't know where you get this drivel (perhaps you have a connection to Manx2?) but it's just unfounded rubbish. Or will you name your source?

The LC guys I know on the routes say it's improving BHD IOM and as for DND BHD - It's frequently at capacity.

If you want to go Logie bashing then perhaps terms and endearments is not the best place, keep it on the other threads you contribute to. Logie have served the IOM faithfully with several routes for a long time now, give them some credit and take your unfounded claptrap for a walk.

[IOMspotter]

JSTR probly looked at the FlyBe website.:eek: BHD IOM has been reduced to 2 rotations for summer.:}

The much predicted news. Press Office :: Loganair To Withdraw Services From Blackpool - Loganair (http://www.loganair.co.uk/loganair/press-office/62/loganair-to-withdraw-services-from-blackpool)

[Seven Fifty Seven]

I would much rather Loganair took this sort of action to preserve the future viability of the airline, than waste endless amounts of money on schedules and routes that are not working. I'm all for trying new routes, but there has to be a cut-off at some point and it looks like they've just reached it on this service. It is a business after all.

[DB6]

If you're going to quote from the press office........

:ok:OK I may be a little biased

[IOMspotter]

jessir, you said it. I read the press release and maybe one reason it leaves on time is that its usually less than half full:confused: I made the load factor 46% using 18000 pax in a year :bored:. What are typical Logie loads like. We only see IOM figures to GLA and EDI.:hmm:

[clear prop!!!]

given that there are only around 6 commercial flights a day from Dundee, there would have to be a bloody good reason NOT to depart on time!!

[charliejulietthotel]

Jealousy... its a b!tch:}

Statistics never lie http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n107/DB6Mk2/Rock.gif.

[IOMspotter]

How are Logie gonna run their SUN BHD IOM BHD. :confused: DND GLA and EDI planes all look to be in the wrong places at the STD time. Oh:mad:

[Seven Fifty Seven]

Does anyone really care, as long as it turns up on time!!!? IOM spotter, you really need to get a life.

[fredtheanorak]

looks to me like they fixed the IOM BHD problem on Sundays by chopping one of the Sunday GLA rotations.:} makes sense to me. Any truth in the BLK LDY rumour?

[fredtheanorak]

Any ideas whats happening with the capacity released from IOM:confused:

BLK LDY rumor has died off so is it just park up for the winter:confused:

[IOMspotter]

Whats going wrong with Logies IOM GLA and EDI routes:confused: The island was down 3%in July but Scotland was down 20%:{

[jetstreamtechrecords]

Its the switch to FlyBe pricing model. Charging business fares on a lesure route is killing volume. Eastern make the same mistake:{

[Seven Fifty Seven]

Yawn - same old blurb Jstr. Bored now.

[Callsign Kilo]

Why is this in Terms & Endearment. The last 10 or so posts have had nothing to do with pilot recruitment, current conditions and terms etc

[The Big Easy]

Exactly, I want to know when Loganair will recruit and at what price! Not the rest of this rubbish on this forum!

TBE.

[pipertommy]

Wondered if anyone knows the shift/roster pattern? 5on - 2off?

[Hansard]

The website says "Loganair are not currently recruiting at present". Strange English! Does anyone know any differently?

[BigNumber]

Strange English!


That's because we are in ABZ!! (I'm building my Ark!)

[Hansard]

It'll be the Doric then.

[David_Lid Air]

They are recruiting now.

I sent my application a few days ago but havent heard anything yet.

[Token Bird]

Website has very recently been updated to reflect that they are now recruiting for Saab 340 type-rated pilots

Careers - Loganair (http://www.loganair.co.uk/careers/)

[David_Lid Air]

Hello.

There is a Loganair interview and simulator assessment at Arlanda the 29th November which I will go to.

Is there anyone that have an idea of what to expect?

Thanks in advance:)

/David

[Hansard]

Does anyone have an update on any likely recruitment? Do they have a hold pool or was that emptied by the last intake?

Thanks.

[Boeing 77W]

Pretty similar post to the last one made by Hansard...

Any word on the current situation with regards to recruitment? What's it like working there with regards to T&Cs

Even if they're not planning anything at the moment I'd still be interested to hear what you guys think about it.

Thanks :)

[Vulcan607]

may want to direct your attention to the Loganair thread in the interviews forum.

[fredtheanorak]

I was told oficially to send in my CV. Off the record they said they had a list of CVs a mile long from ex Highland crew who were local so..............dont expect anything anytime soon.

[GusHoneybun]

don't bet on that. most ex-highland drivers have up sticks to bigger and better things with air baltic. can only think of 2 highland guys still sniffing round for jobs at logie.

[CHECHE]

How much truth is in this link Loganair jobs, payscales and entry requirements. (http://www.pilotjobsnetwork.com/jobs/Loganair) ???

I'm SF34 type rated unemployed pilot with enough experience on type, plus turboprop hours in other types.

Loganair looks like a great place ;)

Cheers....

[Moonwalker]

The information is up to date. Add another 3000 ish on top of the annual salary for duty allowances.

[CHECHE]

Moonwalker thanks for the info. Do you know anything about the recruitment?

Cheers.

[CHECHE]

Any update about recruitment at Loganair for a TR pilot in saab340 and more than 500 H on type. With all news regarding BA, JET2, EZ, etc... Loganair should be struggling, Isn't It?? :confused:

cheers

[sk8erboi]

We do need the crew, but sadly the management continue to bury their head in the sand and pretend all is well.
We will lose a lot of good people soon as things pick up. Although in saying that we thought we'd lose loads to jet2 but lost virtually no one.

Log management have no handle on the current situation. When recruitment does pick up don't be surprised if it is from 'interesting' sources. Never from the normal channels, taking experienced people from the area. Sad but true. Scotlands airline no longer!

[drag king]

We do need the crew, but sadly the management continue to bury their head in the sand and pretend all is well.

It's funny you say that because I got my PFO 1st thing in the morning today, less than 24 hrs after I banged my CV in. They said they are not recruiting at the moment but few mates of mine had/have interview ongoing these days and one just got hired. Someone is listening to the wrong frequency here..:E

Not longer interested, though...so best things to everyone!

DK ;)

[DB6]

Skater, we must work for different Loganairs. Recruitment is continuous and management - particularly flight ops - is well aware of the situation. Preference is definitely for local pilots (although not exclusively) and there is an agreement with Tayside Aviation at Dundee to supply pilots to Loganair, so you could do worse than get up to Dundee and do a few hours in the simulator there.
Loganair - 50 years old next year - is and always will be Scotland's airline, you peasant! :E

[7574ever]

"ongoing recruitment"

Can't seem to find a way to apply... any clues?

[Seven Fifty Seven]

Glad you said it DB6. No idea where Sk8ter works but sounds like a very different Loganair to the one I work for. I suppose Dundee pilots could be classed as an 'interesting' source...... If you're from Dundee that is!

[JB007]

I thought 'skater' went to BMI Regional ages ago?!? Here here on Scotland's Airline, long may Logi prosper...

I've flown short/medium/long-haul on various Boeing's since leaving and about to move seats, yet the only model on my study desk is a Saab340!

[max_drift]

Loganair are most definitely recruiting (for hold pool), I have an interview this month.

Took almost 18 months of waiting and recommendation from a friend to get my hat in the ring.

If anyone with previous experience would mind sharing a few tips I'd greatly appreciate it?

[smith]

Loganair - 50 years old next year - is and always will be Scotland's airline, you peasant!

I flew Loganair on a SAAB a couple of years ago and there was a Canadian Cpt a Malasian FO and the hosty was Swedish, it definately wasn't Scotland's airline that day :-O

Also heard Spanish and Cockney London accents over the pa.

[Scoobydroo]

I'm a passenger on the Flybe branded Orkney-Edinburgh route once or twice a month, and the Highland Park Whisky liveried interisland orkney routes several times a year. Rarely hear Scottish accents on the tannoy, hear lots of non indigenous scottish accents amongst the passengers. But the whole country is now multi cultural/accented - so a more diverse culture amonst the flight crew just reflects the diverse culture of modern Scotland. They always have a warm welcome for my West Highland Terrier when she flies with me (for free on the interisland flights) and recognise her as a frequent flier.:D As long as they are safe pilots I don't mind where they come from originally.

[No Country Members]

Scoobydroo, what a very pleasant post, I am sure the crews fortunate enough to fly you appreciate your comments, and I am sure they are well aware who you are now too. ;) Makes a change on here, to the usual detractors, I'm not just referring to the subject of this thread.

[jetstreamtechrecords]

We dont hear much about the takeover of Suckling these days. Has it all gone quiet or is everything tied up keeping Arann out of the $:mad:.

[tallaonehotel]

Jetstream,

You talk some drivel, the process is on going.
Still two seperate airlines with two seperate AOC's and will be for some time.

Suckling will take Arrann's money, they are a business not a charity case "of keeping them out the sh*t"....

[CHECHE]

Any update about recruitment saab340 type rated pilots :rolleyes:
Any info really welcome.

Cheers.

[Skysurfer1]

If you have an interview and simulator assessment:

1. Get some instruction in the simulator in Dundee and get some practice before the actual day! :D

That is the best bit of advice I could ever give anyone!
