reprobate...... had to google it shat bricks when i saw it!!! :D

Hi,

Is somebody here flying on the worldwide flexible roster?
How does it work?
How many dutydays you have per year?
Is it possible to live from that money?
When is high season and when is low season?

Thanks!

I used to be on the WWD Roster.

1) It works as a pattern you decide upon.

2) As many duty days as you nominate to fly. They won't fly you home weekly. Realistically probably 3 to 4 weeks on min. Off your call.

3) Look at the daily rate and figure yourself if you can live on the money. The more days you work the more money you make.

4) High season is usually Hajj (The fun part) Low season is when they don't need you.

Take the fixed patterns e.g. 6/2 - 4/2 or whatever they are giving out these days. Then you can plan your life accordingly. If people weren't making money they wouldn't be there.

Cheers,

Pete.

Anybody knows if they hire non-type rated?

Cheers.

Yes, you can always buy a type rating, apply via airborne/ mountain high

So, what's new with the Airbus recruitment?

Seen 2 years ago the last classic in Marana, was doing some part time A&P work there.
Was sad I used to fly this one as F/E, now was replacing landing gear seals prepping for storage.
We sure had a good time there.
Thanks for the memories.

Are the A 330's already crewed?

A330
 

still just 1 A330 which is fully crewed, 2 more A330's are supposedly on the way though.

Received today an email from the agency saying that AAI "..is still battling with the unions to get those A330..." Offering then other contracts elsewhere...

What's the real story?

A 330
 

anybody invited thosed days for A 330 interview in Gatwick, would need infor for questions and screening?
do they really get more A 330 in the near future, they are talking about it since 2 years now, does anybody has insider info?

I am going but I have no news aside those useless received by the broker:
1 theoretical written exam
2 psychometric written exams
1 face to face interview
1 sim

See you

Any news about the A-330? Are the positions filled?

Received the unpleasant news that Arngrimur Johannsson founder and ex CEO of Air Atlanta has suffered serious burn injuries after a crash involving a Beaver on a ferry flight. The Canadian co-pilot did not survive the accident.

Brian, thats really bad news as one of the good guy's.

The latest I have is that he is expected to recover. Burns take time and much suffering to recover from.He was indeed one of the good guys - the company changed for the worse when he sold out. Instead of being run by a professional it was run by amateur accountants.

sad news
 

Who was the co pilot

He was Canadian - his name is given on Icelandic news media.

Could hire pilots soon, rumors about new aircrafts before end of the year...
