Loganair application

[mad_jock]

I think they are looking for applicants to show that they are happy living up North.

Must be a big culture shock for a southern woofter moving.

Getting used to a diet of deep fried pizzas.

Being able to buy a 5 bedroomed house for the same price as a 1 bedroomed flat.

Only 20min drive until your in the wilderness.

Decent pubs

Scottish women having a higher sperm count than most men in the SE

etc

postcard from scotland

After filling out the form and sending it by snailmail I was positively surprised that within two weeks' time I received an anwer from loganair in the form of the infamous "postcard".

Maybe I should have used a matrix-printer iso a laserjet, just to make a point.

Anyway that is all besides the point.

Does anyone have news about what they are generally looking for in pilots and what the conditions are like ?

Pay, rostering etc..

To me it seems like an interesting enough place to work.

Just a short question: Are there any non-british pilots working for Loganair?

As far as I am aware there is at least 1x Frenchman, 1x Canadian, 3x Antipodeans (still can't tell the accents apart I'm afraid!!) and a couple of other nationalities aswell.

LOGANAIR

J A Victim is essentially correct.

The recruitment is driven by:

1. Mainly FOs deciding it is time to fly a jet. ATPL with 1000+ hours on the Saab - first generation EFIS. An ideal training platform, combined with interesting weather up north, especially with what was experienced last Sunday. Not for the faint hearted.

2. The great unknown is what will happen once the wet leases on the four ATPs [ with 7 new routes for Logibear ] come to an end. Should they all go back from whence they came, and additional Saabs are acquired, then recruitment for junior bird men will be good.

Use the application form on the website; if you are not in full time flying employment, keep current - very important. Keep those skills polished.

Not sure if this is of any use, but they have been line training this past week.

ecj,

How does one keep current with an IR restricted to multi crew only???
Any 737 to rent with a captain to fly a few circuits?
Please guys tell me how to do it cause im heading for a black hole...im legally current but not flying..if im not flying im not being hired and if im not hired im not flying..hmmm..thats sounds like sh...to me.
Maybe JAC willd o the trick

Two obvious options that occur to me, M.85

You go to one of the IR flying schools and fly a single-pilot IR renewal in their sim.

Or, if you must have it multi crew, you just ask at that same flying school if you can fly with one of their sim instructors being the other crew member. Half of them are retired airline captains anyway.

M.85, current in Loganair terms means 1) current IR and 2) 15 hrs in aeroplanes (not simulators) in previous 12 months. That can be C152 or B737, or a mixture of both.

[M.85]

Thanks..
I better go and fly 14 hours of C152 if THAT makes the difference

Thanks for the info anyways.

M.85

Lukesky,

Thanks to you too...the second option sounds like the best one..
Ill still have to rent a 737 sim(at least i know a TRE)to keep the type current..
Or maybe ill fork out 22000£ for line training...JUST KIDDING!!!

I know a Yorkshireman who flies for them.
Still, he does have to come home every now and then for a warm beer and a cold pork pie
