Guys everything was told in this topic. Please do not come back here after 6 months and start to whine. Especially for pilots with hours since there is so much opportunity out there. Market is not like 12 months earlier anymore.
For colleagues without rating, even for you so many opportunities for low hour non-type rated pilots. It does not worth to pay 30-35k for their ATO. What will you get in return 1500k gross salary after line training only summer season.
Maximum 6 month of flying during summer season. Winter 80% of pilots in unpaid leave at their home unless you want to risk your life, health and licence in Nigeria in winter.

If you want to join this company you will accept worst Captain and FO salary in European market. On top of that unstable life, disrespectful management and operations in Nigeria. It is for desperate people.

Info from many insiders. FO’s, as well will get less money than previous year, based on around 500-600h per year.
Above all of that minimum 3 months of unpaid leave that can be extended if you don’t accept to go to Nigeria or other lovely place they send you. All those projects are with accommodation in low standard hotel, without full board food provided in countries like Nigeria or India.

I have been contacted to stsart the type rating, I want to make sure that after the type they really offer a position in the company.
Do you know if there is a real chance of joining them, or they just make the type rating?

Yes I just did the TR. It's not guaranteed 100% of course and it will never be written anywhere but yes they are recruiting. We were 12, we are all in.

People will leave as soon as they have 500h otherwise is a nonsense, odds are you'll have a job.

Hello guys,
I am desperated because I am waiting for my Job almost 4 years. I am now in hurry to expedite converting my license into EASA one. I saw yesterday TR course starts at April. I know that 35k euros is big deal but does it really worth? How many months I will wait for flying after passing type rating and how many flight hours I can log approximately for one year? I have MCC issued in non EASA ATO, does it matter or I need to go for it in EASA ATO?
Also, is there someone who recently passed assesment (simulator, ATPL, psycho) that would share infos

Hello guys,
I'm here to explain about my short experience with smartlynx.
I applied for A320 TR, I got the interview, I passed, and I got the date for the TR for april 2023.
I made few questions to them:
1. they do not guarantee any minimum hour (only to people with more the 500h on type), this means forget to fly during winter because they will give priority to people that by contract and agreement deserve it.
2. if during the touch and go in riga your aircraft needs de-ice YOU PAY FOR IT!.
3. you need to stay minimum 3 years or you pay a 10K penalty.
4. During line training you get 40eur per day ONLY!.
After these conditions (that I got just because I asked) I told them that I'm not going to go forward with them.
