I sent my applicatoion for the 1st time in March, then a second time end of june and them I called.

So I don't know witch application they took, It could 2 or 4 months for me.

I have been told back in April that they were recruiting only rated pilots and they would take some non rated again by the end of summer, as i am not rated on 777 or airbus it's seem true.

Apparantly they are very busy that why it takes that long.

IFRK,

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it. I applied in Feb and then again at the end of June. So perhaps I'm getting closer to the top of the list.

Can you clarify something for me? In your post you mentioned that you called them? Am I reading that correctly? Or did you mean to say they called you? If you initiated the call, would you mind sharing your contact with me?

You can PM me if you like.

Best of luck to you on the interview.

paid leave

Thanks for the reply, just to clarify, they do give an annual leave ( how much?) but only paid basic during leave. Is that correct?.

All carriers here pay only basic during your annual leave, of course your housing as well...sounds "paid" to me...

CP35:
During leave you get : BASIC + (house allowance if you have it) + TRANSPORT + UTILITY+ (erp).
But here in Q.R. the Flight allowance may represent up to 2O % of your salary...thats why when you go on leave you will see a difference...

Cp35:
you have 42 days leave/year . (have to be taken by 7 days slot: 7 days or 15 days or 21 days split between two periods of 6 month: from april- september(21 days) and from october-march(21 days).
-When you take 2 weeks or 3 weeks in a row, you will have one day off before and one day off after you slot.
-No day off before or after(unless you are lucky with your roster) if you take only one week. Don't ask me why...

paid leave

Thanks for the info LOC22550.

Another question, the website says the basic is $9500 based on 75 hours, does that include your flying allowance?

yes it does. 9500 U$ = basic salary +7O hours of flying allowance (meal allowance not included(layover)).
BUT It ASSUME you will fly 70 hours..if you fly less than 70 hours you will get less, if you fly more you will get more...

Interview process

Hi guys,

Just looking for any up to date and relevant info on the interview process. I have been called for interview next week and would appreciate any info.

I know some of you will begin to complain and tell me to use the search function... I have.... most of the info is months if not years old. I have read all 100 pages of this thread.

If anyone has any info or tips on the interview, exam, or sim I would (and others) would love to hear them or feel free to PM me also.

Thank you in advance

App Time

Sandpit66,

Congrats and good luck. Don't have any interview info for you, but if you wouldn't mind posting the length of time it took to get the call for an interview from your application date it would be most appreciated.

Thanks

Cheers,

I first applied at the end of April and then re-sent everything 6 weeks later following up with a call to the HR dept. Once I got through it took only 2 weeks to get called for the interview.
3000TT, - no Airbus or Boeing rating.
