£51000 basic, £2.35/hr per diem, 6 weeks off/year, 4 on 4/5 off.

Why u coming over? minimum 1000 hrs Jet P1 required for Left Seat, thats 1000 hrs IN the left seat not P1/S.

Very few ACL guys will have the Direct Entry Captain requirements.

Good Luck.

how do you know

How do you know there wont be many direct entry captains from ACL....you been through everybodies log book?
Sounds like a bit of a pre-madona statement.

And for your information all the F/O,s are having there training first followed by a big influx of captains.

So if you are one of those persons who have clocked up the hours
sitting in the cruise across the pond.....spare a thought for those long serving guys at ACL who have probably got ten times the number of sectors as you.

Seems a bit of "I was here at the start and dont spoil the fun"
syndrome.

Get Real

Capts Basic is £61,200 the F/o's get £40,800. I think non type rated pilots and newly promoted captains earn less, I am not absolutely sure though.

I also believe there is a very strong argument in measuring experience levels in terms of sectors flown rather than log book hours.

Good luck to everone at ACL.

So is it 51 or 61k? Duty pay is quite good - would mount up with long trips away from base. Does DEC require a type rating? (this is for the 75, right?)

Well Hello Gents,
Ive been watching this bulliten board for quite a while now, very interesting indeed. Top Marks to the 2 moderators one of which I know personally.

Neil, to answer the P1/S question. If youre Captain all your aviating is P1 i.e. In Command. If youre employed as a First Officer you can log either P2 or P1/S. P2 if youre PNF, and P1/S if PF i.e. youre managing the sector under supervision. Im not au-fait with the requirements of Air Contractors Pilots joining DhlAir UK, but i do believe for the RHS you need 500 Jet and 3000 Total, and for Direct Entry LHS its 1000 hrs P1 Jet over 40KTonnes and 5000 Total. But as with all companies Im sure the requirements can be lowered depending on ability, and thats why a 757 Sim Check is required before the final selection is made.

With regard to the other gent(Sick), the salary varies with experience etc, Yes the PerDiem can be enough to stock your cellar


Best Regards for now.

Not 100% correct.The ACL Pilots have come across for conversion as mixed Cpt's and F/O's, not F/O's only, and from both A300
and 727's.
So far a bunch of gentlemen, long may this continue...
