For TAM basically just HR questions and a group discussion in front of a psychologist. No sim ride, no tech questions, no written tests but a few questions about yourself and your career so far.
Do you have an interview coming up??

There are rumours that tam is to hire FOs directly to the B767/A330...
Can someone confirm this? What are the mins?
Check their website only found offers for A319/320

Please only reliable infos!

Starting A320 F/O salary with TAM?


I am not from Brazil, not married to a Brazilian girl, neither planning to work in Brazil (although think that is a great country, with wonderful people, have been there several times and believe that it has a serious potential in the future).

While Lan Chile only requires 200 hrs TT (without Multi engine rating) for locals, and Tam currently asks 800 hrs TT (been the multi rating and a college degree a requirement), both companies will belong to a same group, use the almost identical fleet, and Sao Paulo has similar living costs compared to Santiago. So my question is more related as a comparison with Lan.

Lan Chile pays +-3000 USD net wage to the low time F/Os, therefore could anybody pls inform the net F/O salary (after taxes) in the A320 fleet with Tam?

Thanks

It has happened before. A few years ago they hired people with a license and "fluent" English straight into the a330 so I wouldn't be surprised if it happened again.
The salary for a TAM a320 F/O should be still around 6k reais after taxes so about 3k USD.

That is not correct. I'm Tam A320 FO, and Tam increases the salary. Nowdays, flying 75 hs-month, we make 10K (reais), plus 2K per diem (diarias), net, after taxes. So, 12K reais, U$$6.900, and here we have 13th salary, and FGTS (1 salary per year). I have a lot of friends considering EK or EY, but, the money now, is the key point.

Thank you very much Sec Fac Elac for the information provided. I was been told that the salary was +-9000 Reais (not sure if after of before taxes) and wanted to confirm that information. Found the numbers provided by VF very strange and certainly too low.

My numbers are a little off since it's been a few years since I've flown the bus but that's what I used to make on average. 6k reais after taxes and not counting per diem.

Hi T7
In Brazil, the per diem are payed if are on dutty, or on layover. Depends of the day time. We recive the per diems, for breakfast (around R$15), lunch, diner and "ceia" (around R$47, for each). Every thursday the airline pays the per diems in acordance of your previous week schedule.

TAM will hire as many people as they can find and I think that goes for the other airlines as well. Many flights are going out with two captains on the bus because of a lack of crew and the schedulers' incompetence to make a descent schedule.
Yes you do need citizenship or naturalization to fly for the airlines in Brasil.

Hello guys,

I just want to know if we need to be fluent in portugese to work as a FO for TAM or GOL?

I can have a brazilian citizenship but my portuguese is far to be fluent.

Thank you

Regards

Unfortunately yes, you do need to be somewhat fluent in Portuguese. Doesn't have to be 100% but you need to be able to get around well without any help. If you spend some time here you would pick it up pretty fast.

Portuguese fluency is a must, although it might not be a stated requirement, in many places you will find ATC unable to do basic English RTF, and in most companies there are also pilots to be found who dont speak English, so they are kept on domestic flights, and most Cabin crew arent proficient in English either, think about CRM!
In biz aviation though you might find a job with no Portuguese knowledge.
