West Atlantic Non Type Rated First Officer
 

Hi all, just starting this to see if anyone has heard back regarding the WA NTR FO position?

Nothing yet for me
Good luck to everyone who applied

Nothing heard here either.

Nothing here although don't think it closed too long ago

Nothing here either, I did see a vacancy for pilot manager though on their website which could mean we might here in the new year

Hi,

Wondered if anybody had heard anything regarding their application as of yet ?

Nothing back yet but with christmas approaching wouldn't be surprised if it's not gonna be till next year.

Hi,
Has anybody got any further in this process ?
Thanks

I for one haven’t heard anything

Nope nothing for me either

Nope, nothing - I wonder if they are doing assessments and will only reject once places are filled…

Nothing here :confused:

Nothing heard from them.

600 applicants, recruitment not finished yet.

HR Lady emailed from an unknown email. Professional.

I could list numerous reasons why not to come to west atlantic but the fact that such great numbers of crew have left or in the process of leaving says it all. Moral is the lowest it had been for years.

That is a real shame. They used to be a great little airline who genuinely cared about their staff. Not great aircraft or flying conditions, it has to be said, (e.g. the cockpits and galleys), but several years ago they were getting a fleet of newly refurbished 737-800 freighters.

Don't join! People leaving in droves. Terrible level of moral.

Chief Pilot "TH" woefully inept clinging on to his job, and "SW" in HR is doing everything to prevent people from moving on.

Together they are trying everything to prevent leaving pilots going to other airlines - sabotage and financial threats aplenty. Zero decorum. Currently a few pilots in battle with company as TH and SW work together in harming others future prospects.

Airline totally under crewed, will not complete all flights in February. Goodbye RM contract!

Owned now by swiftair... Good luck to the new ones.

Are they still offering 21-9 roster with variable basing to mess around and avoid social contributions? It really has gone downhill since Swift Air took them over.

Did anybody here anything further ?

Is the former VP Operations from (dumb)SmartLynx working there ? a certain Anders ....

Still nothing sadly!

Hey,
Has anyone got the contact email for their pilot recruitment team or HR?

[email protected]

I interviewed there for an operations role. Was told I would have a decision in 7 days. They ghosted me for weeks then rang and said they gave it to someone else but they had a different role they wanted me to interview for. Said they would get back in touch to schedule a time. I never heard from them again.

unfortunately yes on the Swedish side.

well, the guy is a pure incompetent…he destroyed dumblynx and was fired….the day he left lots of parties around bases 😁

Anybody have any idea what's going on here ?

In the interests of balance

Don’t listen to this idiot. It’s always a first time poster slandering individuals. Never the guts to communicate directly.

Its not the airline it once was, I can’t deny that. Adapting to stay in the game will change how a place feels. There is ongoing recruitment, contracts in place for years, week on week off roster, a great flight ops team and we aren’t on the breadline.

This week I’ve been doing 10 hour deep nights between Paris and BFS - next working week 5x4 hour duties between EDI and EMA, with 20 hours in a spa hotel each day. It’s not all misery, but the disgruntled will always have a louder voice.

Don’t be put off by delayed responses, the turnover has been high recently, the small HR team are working as best they can.

Good luck to all that apply.👍🏼


ees

Do tell more, apparently he is doing the same now.

Where to start.
To keep it short, since he arrived in smartlynx, replacing a previous alcohol addicted VP Operation, he started to show signs of a borderline behaviour.
He was talking to the crew dispatch, planning and occ and boldly instructing them not to “let the pilot put you in a corner”…so in effect creating a toxic environment where flight crew and office staff where in a sort of Cold War.
He then instructed crew dispatch, travel and planning to record every phone call and in case of alleged “pilot abuse” to send the registration to the Chief Pilot ….( the same chief pilot had enough of this muppet and resigned). After this event, the new Chief pilot chosen was ( and still is) just another useless yesman.
He did instruct the previous planning director (another incompetent manager, now she is making noise in Xfly in Tallinn) to punish all the pilots that refused to be rostered in Nigeria, to cancel their roster, to assign them an indefinite unpaid leave until they changed their mind.
Following the Lithuanian Aviasolution disease instructions he spoiled and ruined the existing terms and conditions creating the conditions for a miserable life for pilots. Many left.
Few pilots were fired with no reason or explanation only because he didn’t like them.
I could keep going but it’s a boring story. I think you got the idea.
The day he left many parties around bases.
Good luck.

Anybody else get a call from HR about sim assessments next Friday?

GOod luck ! Not heard anything yet.

Nothing here, do they email or just phone (im in Thailand atm with a local SIM so off grid asfar as phones go) :zzz:

Kanu , it’s not the company it was . Now owned by Swiftair . There are many jobs out there , suggest you avoid or go directly to Swiftair . And somebody mentioned this Anders guy was fired by Smartlynx ? Was he ?

Ever heard of Phone-to-Skype?

yes he was, read my message above, n30.

Hmm Interesting Edge …not quite what he likes to portray . Be interesting to see how long he lasts .

Wow, the most impressive part is that he still managed to land a new job.

Has anybody heard anything further on this ?
Thanks

Sounds like an ex Braniff 'expert' I met long time ago. His subsequent waffles failed too. .Beware!
