Lufttransport?

[Krautwald]

Hi all.

I came across this company Lufttransport. Seems adventurous!

Is this a tough place to get into? The work looks demanding, so maybe they prefer military pilots and other physical people?

Also, with such remote bases, do they require you live there or will they pay for commuting?

Happy to hear about them if you happen to know.:cool:

Very funny indeed.

Facts still welcome.

Scandinavian language required..

Norsk kursus er i gang.

And no offense taken. :cool: I have always accepted national restrictions in the countries I´ve worked in, because to be fair, many of the good conditions that make you go there are based on exactly those restrictions. Be humble, be a good productive immigrant and hope for your lucky day is my motto.

However, we have moved to Norway already and when I am done with my modular training and hour building I hope to be domestic enough to at least try. Hence my threads about Norwegian operators.

Anybody here know if the King Air is kind of a one-way street? Once an ambulance pilot, always an ambulance pilot? I know Lufttransport has other planes somewhere in a real Arctic place, but that doesn't mean you are easily transferred to those jobs (like 15 year waiting list or something...).
I know I am nowhere near that, but since I moved to a Nordic country I am just curious how that Arctic flying of the various operators is going down and whether it is an option worth pursuing - or rather a waste of time, if e.g. they want ex-military guys or whatever is required that I can´t provide.

Any info on schedule and qol?
I'm a Swedish citizen but only have my FAA Certificates and Ratings, so there is that....

Schedule is 7/7/7/14. A week on, a week off, a week on again and then two weeks off.

Compared to what I'm used to at the U.S. airlines, that's a pretty sweet schedule.
What about bases etc?

Schedule: 7on-7off-7on-14off.
Starting salary: ≈500'000 NOK
Part of commuting costs covered.
Type-rating paid for.
Nordic language.
Almost no turn-over of pilots, and there is a little pool, waiting.
Chances of getting in, without internal recommendation: Slim, to none....

Nordic or Scandinavian language?

I only know native norwegians in LT.

I just saw that Babcock won the Norwegian air ambulance contract. How is Lufttransports position? Are they out of the game, or contracting for Babcock, or bought?

Any news?

There is a danish guy flying in LT(now AirLift). I think there are a few swedes as well.
