News !
 

any recent experienes from any person that has been doing TR and LT with FARNAIR?

Im about to start..

PM please, I need some help..

regards

First four that went through TR and LT got offered a new (permanent) contract.

2 more finished their LT and now flying, 4 more will start this month with LT all of them finished already the TR. They all will fly for one year or 500hrs after LT and then the company decides if they hire them.

Chances of getting a job after the 1 year ends or 500hrs after LT? Look at the amount people currently in the P2F programm and remember this company has around 80 pilots.

of course not, think about it, why should they hire you when you are all runing after farnair trying to give them your damn cash???!!!

there is actually and very long line of desperated zombies ready to give their soul for a few hours of gear retraction , this is how this profession became.

This line is becoming longer and longer, everymonth EU is popping out of the matrix thousand of new qualified "certified pilot" ready to give their parents' money.

Spend all this money in license and rating to fly just a few hours a month, and finish broke with no job is madness!.


got it?

Guys, I am sure that Farnair asks more or less 1.200euro as assessment fee, then, upon passing, they offer a 27.000 euro TR (+ BT and LT) togheter with a 12 month or 400 hrs contract with "entry" salary...
What do u think about? I personally think that 1200 euro for an assessmento are too much, don't you??? :confused:

I think is too much!
I got an interview date but I don't know if I'll go.....1200€:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleye s::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

JLMF - Hi man, how are stuff going to u with Farnair?
They just contacted me to propose the "1.200€ one-single-day assessment", but I really cannot undersant if their proposal is a good or a fake deal?!? :confused:

Pay for assessment?
 

Gosh, it shouldn't get any crazier.....
Pay for assessment €1200? Whatever...

Your own travel and hotel, ok. It shouldn't be a free vacation but that is where it should stop..

Farnair assessment
 

Guys, I just got in contact with a couple of pilots that have been assessed by Farnair via Horizon Fto, and they confirm the impression that is mainly a business to earn as much as possible from unemployed pilots, instead of a selection to choose pilots for a long term professional relationship.
…So I agree with who say to AVOID this kind of (expensive) assessment and job offer

I remember having to make the decision on going for the assessment. I thought long and hard about it and ultimately I was prepared to lose the money because I could never live with wondering what might have been. Well guess what I did lose the money when I stuffed the assessment up and now with that beautiful thing called hindsight I wish I had never bothered. I spent about £1500 in total and will never ever ever spend that sort of money chasing a fast track way into flying a big plane. I have my mind set on working my way up in this industry and paying nothing more, I don't care how long it takes or ultimately if I don't make it to flying a jet. As long as I fly something i'll have achieved what I wanted to. Trust me, unless you are superbly confident that you can nail the sim assessment and waltz through the psychometric testing then save your money and go and take your partner on a holiday in the Caribbean or something. Even if I had of got through I have no idea how I would be treated afterwards but I do know there was no guarantee of a permanent position.

P2f, never a good idea. I think that sums it all up.

There is a big difference on (honest) Companies that assess pilots for a real need, and (unscrupulous) companies taking advantage of the “state of need” of pilots looking for employment.
We must understand that a pilot is a worker, and take advantage of a worker looking for a job is, at least, amoral.
Honest Companies make a first selection based on CV experience, then invite eligible candidates to be assessed ….Without ask any money.
I can understand that the “selection process” is a cost, but this is a company-cost, and is illegal to discharge a company-cost on workers (Pilots) that need a job.
Unscrupulous Companies says that they give a deal selling flight experience, but it’s self-evident that they are only looking to save money hiring for few months First Officers that often pays 3 times a type rating course; That’s why unscrupulous companies do not hire experienced Pilots rated on type, they only wants inexperienced not-rated pilots ready to pay for everything.
That’s how it works; And if for you guys, P2F is a deal, for me is a cheat! If companies need pilots, they should pay them, because a pilot is a worker.
