[Craggenmore]

might have one coming up fingers crossed!!

You mean you filled the online application form?

Doubtful unless you have a Scottish postcode because you're unlikely to be able to relocate on their FO salary. (You mention Cornwall on your profile)

Have you heard anything?

[Mr R Sole]

There is hardly anyone left in Scotland because they are all getting jobs quickly. Heard of a few from way darn sowf who have got jobs with Logie Bear recently.

Never heard so many English accents with Logan callsigns than at the moment!

[Meeb]

There always seems to be a load of bollox talked about Logie not taking on southerners, when I worked for them it was chock full of all nationalities, with only a few Scots, mind you, might have had something to do with the tw@t of a FOD then...

And b737, try to get the name right... it is Loganair

[CosmosSchwartz]

As meeb says, plenty of nationalities at Loganair, the "scots only" tripe that's rolled out in response to this question every time is nonsense.

Craggenmore, think you could relocate on a citi-express salary if they offered you a job? Loganair pay more, and it's cheaper to live in Scotland. Take the blinkers off and you just might get out of that hold pool.

[Fokkerdriver]

Now I simply have to ask...what does LoganAir pay???

Flew for them recently...wetlease. Brilliant - flying-wise at least. Most fun I have had in a long time.

[Fokkerdriver]

......just found the answer on ppjn!!

[silverknapper]

I'm not sure I know what you mean about relocating craggenmore. A Logan Fo earns £21k plus flight pay, averaging £24.5k a year. I don't know many people who would struggle to move somewhere for that.

[Jinkster]

I'd rather move north than south.....anyday!

[Craggenmore]

Oh bugg*r

silverknapper I thought it was considerably less that £24k. More round £18k. In which case that eases my concern about relocation - thank you.

CosmosSchwartz Not sure what CitiExpress exactly pay right now, but I get your point. Additionally, with regard to having blinkers on, its actually up to the Airline to call me with a start date; unfortunately I have no say in the matter. However remember; I did my bit to get into it in the first place and my blinkers were most certainly off then

Cheers

Loganair is without doubt one of the best starts you could have to your flying career. Fantastic flying that is lots of fun and staff are generally looked after quite well compared to other turboprop operators. Take into account the pension, BA staff travel, crew food and a stable roster and you will see that you could do a lot worse!

[silverknapper]

Well why go shooting your mouth off without possession of the facts? I really hope it is not some attempt at self preservation?
Incidentally I hear Logan every day and these days Scots accents are in the minority. English females seem to be the way ahead!!!!

[Craggenmore]

Well why go shooting your mouth off without possession of the facts?

I was basing this on facts from a Channex/Jet2 FO who relocatd to Scotland last year. The point being that he has CPL/IR training costs to repay as well as the 737 rating to repay; (Channex/Jet2 require you to pay for the rating; perhaps Logan don't).

Now that he has been on-line for 8 months and the 'Wow' factor has receeded somewhat into regular line flying, its been realised that there is some, but little, money left over for lifestyle, once rent has also been paid. He's not starving but I'm told it is tight.

Maybe some would class him as a big spender, I personally don't, but Channex/Jet2 pay more than Logan for a new starter FO. If its tough on £30k, then its surely got to be tougher on £24k? That is the fact that I am basing my original 'relocation' comment on. (p.s. I know its tough for all job seekers, but Im not getting at that as a whole within this thread.)

What I am not doing is disputing is that its a superb place to get your flying break with wonderful flying, good hands on a/c and beautiful scenery. One of my 'in-laws' spent 6 years in Aberdeen on BA's Budgies back in the 70's, flying to all sorts of glorious highland destinations including beaches! This still happens. As you can imagine, I've asked and been told all about it.

And being a Southener who is a very keen golfer, mountain-biker and fly-fisher, I'd be up there like a shot if I was ever forunate enough to be offered a job with them.

Cheers

hey guys

Thanks for the replies. I found out yesterday that I have an interview with them next week. Busy studying for that, but its quite nice to hear that its an exciting and rewarding place to fly.

That beach landing looks awsome seen some photos on the net!

Keep your fingers crossed for me

B737-4

[Mr R Sole]

The beach landing is at Barra but that is done on the Twin Otter and I have heard that is getting phased out. Sumburgh is lots of fun. Landing on 33 as you dodge the hill on short final or circling from 09 onto 15 is fun as you have to dodge the cliff!

[GusHoneybun]

Sumburgh is not nearly as entertaining now the ATP has gone.

[bigjarv]

Just tried to fill out the online application. On the second page it says see guidelines by a few of the questions but I didn't find any. Made some of the answers a little tricky. Am I just being stupid or can someone shed a little light?!?!

[Freebird17]

I couldn't find any of the promised guidelines either

[Firestorm]

Having lived in Scotland for a while (and having moved South), Scotland isn't that cheap, especially on a Loganair FOs salary. The weather's better here and the people are nicer as well.

[razzele]

It is amazing how rude loganair have been to me !

I think they have been rude any way !

I have applied to them twice in 6 months, and not even so much as an acknowledgement!!

do they think that is fair ?
