Susi Air 2022

[Flying Farmer 44]

Hi guys,
I'm a fresh commercial pilot from England and I've just applied as a pilot on the C208B (Caravan) with Susi Air. What is the current situation with Susi Air, I have read some things about the company in the past that weren't so great. Has Susi got new management now?
Is there anyone on here that currently works for them that could give me some information on what working for them is like and what the interview / selection process is like?
Cheers!

Hi Flying Farmer 44,

I found a page that may be helpful. Just type "getting a job with Susi Air" on Google and it's the first result. I'm sorry but Pprune doesn't allow me to send a link..

I tried to apply as well, but as I submit the application I get a message showing "please submit your best CV" even if I uploaded it. Any suggestion?

Hello there! I also been invited for an online interview too! And I would like some guidance from you guys. I still have no clue what is the first interview in online.

Thanks!

I was also invited to the online interview. Could someone give us some feedback about it?

[Vsoares]

I would like to have a feedback also! Thank you folks!

Does anybody know if they are still using the recruitment agency that basically charges you for the privilege of a Skype interview and CUT-E test or did they go back to in house? Feedback would be appreciated as my wife will cut my balls off if I need to tell her I have to pay money for an interview!

No paying for interview, they made changes after Susi (the owner) left the politics scene and back at the helm of her company, the folks that were involved in setting that scheme up are also listed as "wanted for criminal activities". Not sure if PPRUNE will let me post that document in public....
However, expect to pay about 5000usd for your training, or arrange it as a bond with the company, from what I've been hearing.

I can't answer your questions personally (I'd also love to know), but you should you look up an ebook called Papa Kilo, it's a very short book about a guy who worked for Susi Air for a couple of years, it outlines the recruitment process and gives lots of details about the sorts of things he was asked. The dude's a pretty **** writer, so it's not a good book, but it's got all the incredibly niche information you'd want to know about working there so I'd still recommend reading it.

The Author of the Papa Kilo book is probably the same guy who appeared on "Worst Place to be a Pilot" and pretty much begged any jet airline in Europe to hire him.

I applied on the 12 of august and still nothing, my application appear "CONFIRMED", but nothing new.

The environment Susi Air works in needs lots of situational awareness. They actually have pretty good aircraft, and have done well with maintenance in the past, but the world they fly in needs crews to be keeping their wits about them. It is a great place to get good experience, but it is not for those that don't take positive care of their own life, let alone the passengers. The food is darn good. 3 years in Susi is about 20 years with a major airline in developing life skills.
