DHK just pulled 1 of their 767-300 from Bahrain. I believe they only had 2 over there. I heard it was due to the US markets closing causing them some havoc..

More transatlantic flights to be done by the 767.

DHK is indeed DHL Air (UK)

The aircraft though are owned by DHL as a larger entity so they will send them to whichever subsidiary is most relevant at the time. DHK flew them for ten years and then powers that be moved them to Bahrain to replacing the ageing 767-200 conversions there. So, now one returns to DHK...

So how many 767's will DHL Air UK have now? More than 3?

1 left in Bahrain for DHL-UK and the contract ends in September but there is now a good chance it could also be pulled from Bahrain..

Still three

Besides the current situation with Covid-19, what are the plans to tackle the uncertainty of Brexit for the crews based in LEJ?
Is there an exchange rate protection in place for those based and living in a Germany?

Who knows, but be assured planning for Brexit will no doubt continue and there will be a solution to allow us to continue to operate.

I am sure about it. I am asking because DHL Air UK (as well as EAT) would be a good option for me since I live in Germany. Much easier to commute.

Then good luck for the future. DHK and EAT will continue, of that I am certain. Obviously recruiting is currently not on anyone’s agenda. We are fully manned and pre covid any recruitment was for hold pool only.

DHK 763 x 2 came to Bahrain to replace 2 wet lease aircraft (MNG and SkyTaxi) not to replace 762.
One has gone back to fly to USA business is up no belly space on those pax aircraft sitting still. No idea for how long #Corona
Contract is till Jan 2021
At DP/DHL flexibility is the name of the game.

And Mr Angry will know.

There is a fixed rate and you will be paid in euros.

From what I've understand, there are a lot of rostering options based on individual needs w/ DHL. What about the upgrade opportunities? What are the requirements and is it seniority or hours based?

Largely seniority with min 3000 hrs. Pre Covid we were fully manned and only recruiting for hold pool. Who came up with the name talent pool??

So, assuming that recruitment will be closed for the next 5 years is not far fetched.

I have no view or insight into future recruitment.

Not sure if its gonna be closed for the next 5 years, but with a few hundred applications on hold, and about 100 on short list, I would say its very close.

And attrition apart from Pilots retiring will be zero - I mean where will anyone go??

We have quite a few guys retiring in the next few years, but you are right, very few people left in the last 2-3 years and I guess almost no one will leave in the next 2-3 years. people realised that DHK is a ******* good job.

Off topic,

we are changing uniform provider. looking for the DHL/EAT leather jacket provider. Name/model/brand/webpage would be nice. Thanks.

DHK doesn’t have this jacket - you need to contact EAT.

Thanks, will ask next time im in Leipzig.

Any idea if DHK recruitment is ongoing? I'm looking to move back to the UK permanently from a commuting job overseas.

Also looking for salary (NTR FO presumably would be 767). PPJN is a mess listing base pay as both £78k and £67k but I have also seen £58k being banded around on another thread... I would appreciate if someone could set the record straight.

Thanks

There is certainly induction and training for RHS 767 ongoing. Whether there is still recruitment or there are enough in the pipeline I have no idea - I guess you won’t know until you apply!

Round figures, NTR 60k, rising to 70k after a year.

In the same boat here, widebody Boeing freighter time and local to EMA. CV sent a couple of months ago but not heard a peep even to acknowledge it was received which is why I wondered if they were still recruiting or not.

Thanks for the info DH, much appreciated.

As an aside, is the 75 & 76 considered a common fleet for pilots at DHK?

Yes.

I heard they've had to postpone recruitment to allow the training department to catch up, but that recruitment will be ongoing.

Recruitment is ongoing for the 767.

Best bet is to send in your CV to [email protected]

You will need a UK licence and the right to live and work in the UK. 767 slots are RHS.

75/76 are (is?) a common type rating and there are mixed fleet pilots but all recruitment is for the 767 and there are no plans to use new joiners on the 757

Has anybody heard back from them after sending an email?

I see DHL UK is recruiting for FO's, can any current crew members share the FO/SFO Salary and is it possible to commute?

Post #225 may help. You need a declared address within 90 mins of ema in order to be rested prior. HtH

Does anyone have an up to date description of the sim profile and interview at DHL Air U.K.?Previous posts seem to refer to EAT or are several years out of date.

many thanks

Since the recent advert for 'aircraft pilot' jobs advertised for DHL (UK) has anyone heard anything regarding their application? Any interviews/pfo's etc?

Hey folks, I'm looking for some long haul cargo tips/essentials to get me started. I got offered EMA 767 after flying regionals for a while - so i'm heading into long haul blind. Anything to recommend? Thought this thread would be the best place as most already do exactly this.

Cheers

have sent you a PM

Could you provide some tips for me please? In similar positions having been flying pax regional and got offered EMA long hual, without much clue about operations of sectors longer than 6 hours. TIA.

Have you been offered 767 or 777, because they are very different operations?

Triple. Any information about the operation and roster would be highly appreciated.
