Air Contractors ATR pilots questions
Dear Air Contractor pilots (ATR),
How is the roster for the moment? How many days a month do you work? And in what kind of ON - OFF shedule?
What is the net salery after tax of an FO year 1 or 2?

Thanks, but I allready saw this information.
I'm interested how the "unstable" rosters on the ATR, actually turn out.
And what the net actual salary at the end of the month on the bank account is.

ppjn fairly accurate on the payscales. depends if uk or eurozone based.
Rosters well..... depends where you are based. how long is a piece of string?
Duties only unstable due to WX, sickness and noisey hotels.

Good day
I've had a good look around the web for info on Air Contractors and would be grateful if anyone in the know could help me out on a couple of points about ACL. As a SLF TP F/o who finishes back where I start everyday, get's to sleep in my own bed everynight, night freight op's are somewhat alien to me. As there's no future at my current operator i'm trying to get a feel for freight and see if it would be an option to move on to.
I would be grateful if someone could answer some queries I have about ACL.
Do they only take on type rated bods or will they take on experienced non-rated F/o's?
Do they have relationships with any particular TRTO?
Roughly speaking is it a Monday-Friday operation? Does this mean you report to your base on a Sunday night (for arguments sake) and thats you away on tour for 5 days? Therefore would commuting from the central belt of Scotland be an option?
Chances of a UK mainland base?
If you are based at a UK base do you get paid in Euros or Sterling as per PPJN?
Like I say, any info would be great as i'm just trying to weigh up my options.
Many thanks

only type-rated pilots, skyblue in exeter is where most FO's have paid for their rating. Usually you self position to base sunday night and then home on a friday morning, you get used to it...only base you would get in the UK is MAN, as BHX is full...and UK base=sterling contract

So net salery is above 3000€ on the bank account every month for beginning FO's I can see based on above information?
Regarding the roster and base...
How many days a month do you work? And is it 2 week / 2 week then?
Can you choose base on the EU mainland?

Many thanks for the info hardcase. Air Contractors looks like a nice outfit to work for. I've always been against paying for ratings but the ATR actually looks like quite a good rating to have on your licence. With a couple of obsolute (but good aircraft) ratings on my licence, I might have to bite the bullet and splash some cash to move on me thinks. Freight might well be the future. Will give Sky Blue a call for further info.
Thanks again

A few quick questions for the chaps in the know;
If wanting to apply but don't have a rating, is it best to go through the route of getting a SSTR first or do Air Contractors not entertain that?
Basically, I can't work out if I should contact Sky Blue first or the airline directly.
Also, is the stirling contract a straight £/Euro conversion of what's on PPJN or is it a different beast altogether?
Finally, what are the chances of a MAN base?
Thanks guys.

as has been said many times before on previous posts...you need an ATR type rating to apply to ACL (there are lots of ATR rated guys with & without experience looking for jobs at the moment).
and as i said in a previous post if there is space at a base then you can apply if you get the job...

Hardcase, thanks for the reply. Sorry - I should actually read the thread before posting.
From what I can gather, even if I were to go down the SSTR route, there are enough out there with time on type who would obviously get in first.
Or in other words, hold on to your £15,000. Is this a fair comment?
