DHL Air Austria

[Banana Joe]

Any information about the new operator of DHL? They have just obtained their AOC.
Certainly they're going to need pilots as recruitment is ongoing (movement on career.aero). Any idea on what are the Terms and Conditions? Are they on par with EAT?

[deltahotel]

The bulk of their pilots and all of their ac are direct transfer from DHK. I’m rubbish at crewing maths but doubt they’ll need recruiting initially.

Alright, then probably the movement I mentioned on career.aero might still be for EAT.

How many European pilots are in DHK? I understand DHK is going to be solely a long haul operator with 767 and 777, and the 757's have been moved to the Austrian AOC.

[deltahotel]

DHK are keeping a small number of older 757s but the bulk are going to DHA. Substantial number of non UK LEJ based pilots moving across.

[EAM]

DHL Air Austria will operate the 18 757 based in Leipzig, 170 Leipzig based pilots will move across.
I assume there will be a need of pilots in late 2022, T&Cs do to exist yet for any new contracts.

So whats the advantage of Austria over Germany ? Taxes, a easier CAA ?
At the end of the day the operation will continue in LEJ, or is it going to move to Austria ?

[EAM]

Will stay in Leipzig. What are the advantages, ask DHL. I guess to set up an AOC is easier and quicker with Austro Control than with the LBA.

[Banana Joe]

There are two other big non-Austrian operators in Europe with their aircraft registered in Austria. Austro Control has become popular also in the flight training industry because of the ease to work with them.

Hello folks. Recently received an email from Interpersonal that my application has been reviewed and fulfills all the requirements. After that it said that candidates who will be invited for an assessment will be notified within the next few weeks. Anyone else had the same and might know more?

waiting for sim or for start date?

[Aih20]

Well, waiting for the next step...sim or interview. Dont know how it follows.

[rudestuff]

If it follows the DHK model, then group interview, group problem solving, Company knowledge test (ESD, 1969 etc), ATPL test and a maths test. Pass that and you're invited back for individual interview and SIM assessment.

[Aih20]

Thanks for the info, however, ATPL test and math test again?!!

[MostAnnoying]

I spoke with interpersonal a few days ago.
- BQ
- SIM (Leipzig/Hamburg)
- CQ

That’s it!

the BQ consists of numerous tests which are sampled and you can practice viabSkyTest.
