No, I don't. I was told this by someone working there when I was just "enquiring" about Blue Air some months ago.

And in the meantime they are continuously doing type rating course every month, that's crazy!!
Do not accept!

What tha hell. So you pay a lot of money. And then you end up with 200 hours which are still useless. I was lucky enough I got invited for an assessment with only 200 hours which I obtained somewhere else, but I rejected the offer because of T&C's. But with 200 hours you can still go nowhere. All I get even in a good market as the present one NO's because I do not have 500 on Type.

So DO NOT WASTE your money in Blue Air.
Especially those Joker Salaries.

I confirm

Guys I confirm that they don't have any vacancies available and the same assessor told us on the assessment day.

There is a very long queue from July to now and the possibility to have a job is very rare. At least they were honest. You basically do 200h and after that you are in the waiting list forever. At least 70-80 pilots in the list. NO increasing of aircraft fleet will be on 2019. Bear in mind that with 200h you can't go anywhere, the minimum requirement is 500h on type.

Same as stated above, company NOT expanding, phasing out 73CL, replacing them for 73MAX. Holding pool for type rated FOs.

After line training (200HS), job position is not assured.

Not really. You pay for your TR like it used to be with Ryanair.

I have not taken part in the assessment, but I have a couple of friends working there. After the computer test, if you are invited expect a group excercise, HR and technical interview and eventually a simulator assessment either on the Classic or NG. As a NTR they should not give you any failure. Just basic handling and a raw data ILS. Pretty standard for NTR low hour applicants.

It's another pay 2 fly scheme with no job guarantee upon completion of the line training. Stay away if not completely desperate.

Does anybody know if they downsized their Turin base?

Are they recruiting ab initio's?
