@tripjet320,

Thank you so much for making yourself available to Cargolux....I already feel a lot more confident that we will make it through these difficult times...:ok:

Sincerely

Hawkeye red

hawkeye,
what a terribly inappropriate answer, honestly I would hope you're not a part of the team yet if you are. What did he do to you?

Roster in advance?
 

I have a hard working wife who needs some information about my roster well in advance. How´s the planning at Cargolux?
How well in advance do you get to see your off-periods?

Thanks

28 day roster published 12 days in advance.
Expect to show a certain degree of flexibility since roster stability cannot be guaranteed due to the nature of the business.
Rosters may change after being published.
Only the 6 consecutive off days are untouchable (or only with your consent).
3 floating off days can be moved.

@ final06,

thank you very much for taking time to answer. :ok:

@ hawkeye red,

I feel so much sorry if you don't like my post, I feel very very sad because of this now, but I am confident I will make it through this difficult moment.
Sincerely. :sad:

Thanks for the very valuable info final06, finally someone posted some acual rosters! (5 days locked in the hotel in Lagos doesn't sound funny)
If you choose the 9+1 days off option are all 9 days fixed or still 3 of them can be changed? Any chance to get 9+9 days back to back?
Any news regarding the new plan? Any hiring ahead? Is salary going to be reduced? thanks.

3 days could still be changed but not likely if allocated after the 6 untouchable ones.
Just do not answer the phone. Same applies for blank days. ;-)

3 times per year you may ask for 6+6 back to back.

No news yet.
Expect some hiring late 2013 or in 2014.

5 days Lagos is good for meditating, tax declaration, reading books, watching movies, relaxing from the stressful LUX-LOS flight.
Some guys even request this trip. ;)

I am interested in Cargolux as well. Living about 2,5 hrs from LUX. So depending in the roster I think should be doable to drive from home to LUX and back after duty.

I tried to apply via Interpersonal.de but I cannot finish my application because I have to upload my school diploma wich I can't find at the moment. Is it really required to apply?

Currently flying as PIC C17 at the Heavy Airlift Wing based down in Papa, Hungary.

Would Cargolux be interested in a military cargo guy?

Cheers

Mike, unless you are 744 rated you will be last in a very long line of applicants.........

CLX only for Malpensa?
 

... found this at http://www.facebook.com/ATTCcom:

" Cargolux Italia is recruiting B747 Crews

CLX Italia launched operations in 2009 operating 7 flights/week from Milan to Dubai, Hong Kong, Osaka, Almaty, São Paulo and Luxembourg with a Boeing 747-400 freighter. "

Do they look only for the italian branch?

rgds,

pemac

CLX Malpensa
 

they look for Malpensa-Crews, Swiss College passed the test in March, assessment in Germany IBF Dr.Schwan.

still recruiting?
 

... are they still recruiting, Berny?

regds,

P.

Do you have recent news how the recuitment process is going this year?

Can you give an example of a roster?

I can't see many replies from CARGOLUX. Nobody has news?:confused:

Is there anyone who could give an update? Is CV expecting to recruit or call the people who are in the holding pool? Maybe end of this year? Or am I to optimistic?

pilots perspective of B747-800
 

See following link:

Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better! A Pilot?s Perspective of the B747-8F

The recent rumour is that they will start hiring by the end of this year.

Thanks, keep my fingers crossed.

Rumour is they are doing interviews, any comments?

Local media recently reported that, as pilot union rejected new Collective Work Agreement, to meet cost cutting measures flight crew numbers may have to be reduced.......could be Management waving the big stick though.

Just wondering if its easy to commute from the UK when working for cargolux? Many days off in a row?

trigger21: during the week plenty of flights by LG into London, during the weekend things get complicated due to the few available flights. Nothing is impossible, but you end up spending a lot of your time off commuting..

They are hiring pilots now, will they be able to find enough type rated pilots, or will the non-type rated stand a chance? I was contacted about a month ago, asked if I have a 747 rating, which I don't have.

Only in Luxembourg.........................................

:hmm:

Does anyone have any update for Non-type rated applicants?

Does anyone have some information regarding the latest selection. I've been invited to Saarlouis. (allthough I can't attent the days they have got for me, I'm hoping to reschedule)

Have any non rated applicants been invited to Saarlouis lately?

Cargolux details
 

Anybody inside can shed some light on the atmosphere these days?

Cargolux details requested!
 

Hi all,

I am not rated on the 747.

737 sfi 3000 hrs

Got the "thanks,but no thanks" email Friday. Didn't think I'd get a look-in, only Turboprop rated. Shame.

NRN,

When did you apply?

I applied in May and have not heard anything back other then the confirmation of receipt of my application.

Thank you!

Has anyone heard anything in the last couple of week about interviews? I applied a few weeks ago, but I'm yet to hear anything. Type rated.


Thanks

Sorry guys for the late response. I've applied with Cargolux on May 23th this year.

I was able to reschedule my dates in Saarlouis.

Anyone has a good idea what to prepare?

Fellow colleagues,

I've finally been invited to Saarlouis. Anyone has been there lately and willing to share what to expect? Why are they doing it two days now?
Found a pretty nice report earlier in this thread, however that one was from 2009, and the assessment back then was only one day.

THX

Can those who've got interviews share their flying experience, do you speak German?

Why should you need to speak German :ugh: CV is an international company.

Because Sled Dog, the application asked if you could. I'm not saying it was a requirement, just asking if anyone was able.

I assume German is required for is an official language in Lux, and what about French?

No german is needed nor french.... Just english and a european licence/passport
