Anyone in Darwin Airlines?
 

Anyone in Darwin airline as pilot or that did recently interview with Darwin Airline in Lugano?
I've been called for interview and I would like to know in what way is structured that interview, for example:

- ATPL technical questions: are multiple choice or open questions? are technical oral interview, or over PC or paper?
Advices for all I need to know, about that oral interview/personality test.

- Simulator: what kind of simulator you will use? they said that probably the test will be about Lugano procedure; any advice? you will be tested regarding ifr procedure and conduction of the airplane only or MCC skills will be enclosed and evaluated in your test?

Many many thanks to who will be able to help me.

Hi mate!

Sorry, but I haven't got any information to give you but could you please tell if you are Saab rated?
Did you apply as FO or Captain?
thanks!

mau mau ti posso dire quello che mi ha detto un ragazzo che conosco che ha fatto la selezione non moltissimi mesi fa.
Domande ATPL: format uguale a quello degli esami, quindi rifatti un giro di quiz se vuoi essere tranquillo.
Simulatore: mi ricordo bene che mi aveva parlato di un simulatore non tradizionale, del tipo che mentre fai basico (salite, discese, circuiti vari misti etc) ti danno altri task (tipo premere il pedale se senti un numero dispari, oppure operazioni matematiche, e robe simili, per vedere come te la cavi a gestire più cose contemporaneamente).
Ciao!

PS: una parte (non tutta) del TR era a carico del pilota, una cifra umana se non ricordo male.

I would also be interested to know. I do not speak any Italian yet i'm afraid so do not understand the last post. Does anyone have up to date info on salary, duty pay and flying hours to be expected for a first officer at Darwin? If anyone works for Darwin and would like to tell us what it is like that would be great.

Darwin Airline jobs, payscales and entry requirements.

This is everything I know about the package in Darwin...
Be prepared for a tough selection process, different stages: face to face interview, atpl quiz, psychimotor tests and also a sim ride.
Good luck

Thanks Dirk.
I'm aware of the salary but just wondering about duty pay on top as this makes the difference between whether Darwin makes financial sense to me or not. Also any ideas about rostering, flying hours per month etc would be very interesting.

recruitment process involves natural selection.....

:zzz::zzz::zzz: very very helpful advise.

Any more info Guys?

It seem there is no news.
I hope than some Darwin pilot or ex candidate pilot watch this post and would be so kindly to answer, but along the years, i've learned that in this ambient, no one will help you even if he could.:ugh:

Hey guys

we are a swiss company and we need you to be able to speak english and italian correctly

But am I not correct that its not a requirement for Pilot recruitment?
Infact I think it even goes as far as to say something like we use English etc etc.
