Sky Express Crete, Greece

[freeasair]

I think they fly Jetstream 41s domestic and I have heard they are hiring, anybody know anything about them - pay, conditions, planes - anything at all?:confused:

They hired 8 co-pilots last summer. 4 of them have started flying, and the other 4 are on standby. Rumor has it that in May of this year 2 of them will be taken on.

Small regional airline in Greece operating only Jetsream 41's, and they fly only domestic. Although not official but they do not accept non-greek speaking pilots. I have a friend who flys there and he seems to be pretty happy. He says its lots of fun. Based at LGIR in Crete, the money is average for greek standards (around 1300 euro per month).

The airline seems to be undergoing a small expansion now, however, until the 4 f/o's get hired, I highly doubt any recruitment will take place.

What about the problems/findings of the auditors?
I heared that some greek mafia is in there.
Dad and Son were flying wih no licenses.:ugh:
I might be wrong, but thats my info from a friend.....

I really do hope no greek is getting this message, greek word: Kebab:ugh:

1300 for a new entrant F/O, yes its average. But you dont pay for your type rating here like you do in many other countries....:}

[anemos]

SVoa is up to date about the status in the conpany, it is fun for young pilots and a lot of sectors, not for young and experienced who are looking the big jets.
the ex-pat has left and only greeks for the moment
you have to be flexible

Anyone know how the current situation in the airline is right now? I heard they will be looking for some new F/Os until summer, maybe some expansion going on??

[NikB]

Jet pipe.Maybe not much to do with expansion and more to do with the fact that A3 and OA just hired a bunch of guys? Just my two cents, i could be wrong.Still worth sending a CV in :ok:

[Jetpipe.]

Yes NikB, but no chance now! A friend of mine just confirmed that 10 have already started ground school both for cpt and F/o positions.. No announcement was made on the airline's website before though..
