Good afternoon everybody,
Later in September I have been asked to attend B757 simulator assessment. There is a B757 simulator at CAE Gatwick; the operator will only lease the simulator in complete 4-hour blocks. The rate is GBP750 per hour. I have arranged a skilled B757 trainer to assist throughout. Looking tentatively at 13-14-15 September. Would anybody also looking to brush up be interested? Please PM. Many thanks. |
I was away on leave so didn't get my application in until the 25th. Anyone heard back after applying on the 25th or later?
Few friends who applied a bit earlier got emails asking for further details, hope I didn't miss the boat |
It only closed on Thursday so I think it will be next week before anyone gets called forward
|
Yeah don't know anyone who has been called for an interview.
But some friends who sent in their applications before me, have had emails asking them to fill out an application form. Just being paranoid I guess 😬 |
Recruitment is going to be ongoing for a while to come - provided the plans come to fruition in the next few months/couple of years and onwards.
|
Thanks Hobnob

It’s not going to be “instant”, these are positions for aircraft that are arriving. internal upgrades will be going on from the 767 fleet, but there is likely to be a shortfall over the course of the first 777s for both C and FO positions. The other thing I would say is that I came here with my eyes open from the passenger world. And really like it here. They treat us well nowadays - as Deltahotel said - there’s occasional flashpoints and gripes, but they exist everywhere. For me, we’ve made it through Covid so far on full rosters, full pay, with a pay rise honoured (4% C, 3% FO, 0.5% from company into pension - and with DHL Express making record breaking profits, they’re likely to honour a similar pay rise again next April!). We had a 5% bonus and 2 bonuses for working through Covid. Hotels normally good too! 777 rosters… a work in progress. around the world routes. 767 to continue on the Atlantic ex U.K. |
Again Hobnob many thanks for the detailed reply
I currently fly a mix of pax & cargo so I do know what I'm in for (actually prefer cargo) I have well in excess of the required experience. So hoping its a rush of applications a couple of days before the deadline, rather than me not even passing the CV stage cut. Especially seeing as I put in a'lot of effort into my CV & Cover letter 😅 Strange question, but do DHK allow you to bring family/friends on the flights? I've seen Cargolux guys taking family on flights and thought that was a really nice benefit |

Aerologic does the same, the routing will not go via Anchorage.

which route(s) does Aerologic do? As far as I am aware they do not cross the date line.
|
DHL Flight. (As far as I know). Anyway, the DHK 777 route will be different, might go via Japan, but who knows, its DHL, might all change tomorrow. ;-)
|
Has anyone been called for interview or anything? It’s gone very quiet and the application deadline was a while back now.
|
Masses of applications, loads of sifting to do. I believe there are some interviews later this month.
|
Some interviews being done (and ongoing!) at the moment.
thousands of applications received. massive job for the recruitment team! |
It would be nice it they do let people know either way, a PFO email at least…….
|
I’m sure they will - give them a chance, they’re only just getting going!

Good that you have it under new leadership. Great new for the crews that this sort of work will suit. As for VIE bases, how is that going to fare with the young apartment renters ? |
Although DHA will be OE reg and VIE HQ the crews will still be lej based.
