The opportunity is only available to locals, or so I heard on the coconut wireless.

[Dam40]

Ads doesn't mention only for locals! :rolleyes:

[Fanor]

What do you all think about this? Good oppurtunity for a recently qualified EASA pilot?

What do you all think about this? Good oppurtunity for a recently qualified EASA pilot?

It would be much better for a recently qualified pilot to get their hands dirty and do some practical flying rather than be a second officer. Gain some useful flying hours as your first job, preferably one where you can actually log some PIC time or P1/US time.

But that's just me; no doubt the children of the magenta would jump at the opportunity to be dressed in a pilot uniform only to operate as a drink waiter and take down drink orders for the other crew.

Airlines deduct cruise officer time as that just what they do... paperwork and radio communications during cruise. It's a waste of time unless you one makes a career at that particular carrier.

[FPA]

this second officer role should be abolished , it offers no constructive
active participation in the cockpit , one flies the other does radio and
Monitoring, there is no need for dead heading crew,

all this is a personal opinion, however if you think the 2nd off role is you
passport for a secure position in any airline line up and wait,

happy landings,

Hi,

Would anyone have some info on the conditions and average time to be upgraded to F/O?

Thanks

[Olive61]

All the SO positions will be filled by Fiji nationals. If you are not Fijian you wont be considered. It's the national airline of Fiji, and there are government and airline objectives to give Fiji nationals employment and advancement opportunities as a priority over expatriate employment - much the same as is the case in most parts of the world. Cheers

[pilotchute]

So the line of locals with a BGT endorsement is going out the door and down the street?

[pilot.india]

Anyone heard from Fiji air after applying.

[flaps35]

[Fanor]

Just applied. You never know whether you will get it unless you apply.

[flaps35]

Yes send allways your application you never knows.2 May is the deathline if you then within 2 weeks get contacted you are the Lucky one.:D


Goodluck guys

[FPA]

deathline , are they going to :mad: shoot them?

[Fanor]

What email did you send it to? I sent mine to [email protected] and it says it was not deliverable.

[JeyFromLFMT]

Mine was just "delayed" and then I received the confirmation, the day after. Check the email it should say it's just delayed...

[Fanor]

Thanks thats comforting to hear. Just checked again and yes it is delayed.

[i_fly_planes]

Mine went straight through without delay. I received a quick generic email back saying the have received my application etc.

Would anyone have an idea on what the T&C might be......without the BS?

[b737air]

Anyone who applied for SO received any feedback so far?

[neofj]

nothing yet

[mehdi18]

Same thing for me !!

[pfvspnf]

They have probably got thousands of applications, I'd assume they would prefer A320 type rated people with time on type so that they can easily CCQ to the A330 whilst meeting all the ZFTT requirements.

[i_fly_planes]

So its been 2 weeks since "applications closed" for SO positions at Fiji Airways and wandering if anyone had heard anything back?

[Tailwind743]

That's what I was wondering, too. I didn't get any response. Time to find something else for me.

[Luke SkyToddler]

The reason none of you have had any replies, is because it's for Fijian nationals only :ugh:

[pfvspnf]

Are the SOs fully type rated ? Or trained for cruise duties only ?

[wonderland]

And the wolves are beckoning...

[pfvspnf]

And this was for locals only?

What exactly do you mean by pilots with 'experience'?

Most companies require Advanced COMPASS test and Psychometric testing along with group exercises.

[neofj]

Anyone know whether they actually recruited ?

[pilotchute]

Yes they did and it was locals only.

[Olive61]

Thanks Pilotchute ..............

Yes they did and it was locals only.
