Get used to the 2 bucket theory as an expat, and keep your ear close to the ground. It happens in all airlines.

Well soon enough SVA will have close to 100plus expat FO's. Hard to axe them all at the same time. still company has the upper hand as it may choose not to renew the contract after 3 years .but honestly now i cant imagine lots of expats on the T7 that they will choose to stay after 3 years instead of looking for a place with a faster command upgrade on a wide body aircraft instead of the A 320

Story is that they have imposed a no-extension rule for first officers, so they will finish at 58.2 Gregorian years and not 65 like the Captains.

Thats right Mutt. Just bumped into a victim of this rule. BTW this rule is applicable to both locals and foreigners.

Got news from some locals that there is some fuss about a possible SV ban over EU's space because of FTLs violations or something.
Any truth to that?

@indianace. 1st reason is attitude ,even if you don't cope 100% with a very demanding training the proper attitude may save your ... . It works both ways. Even if you cope 110% with the training the wrong attitude can get you a one way ticket back home. Keep in mind that at that time SV doesn't need desperately pilots especially on the T7. An average line for April is around 70 hours (pay credit at around 78-80) for the FO's and 73-74 for captains. Command upgrades were postponed until June
6-10 773 are on the way until the end of the year.on December the first four 772 will be faced out (not necessarily based on day of arrival).
Housing: literally SV city has no more available houses. The waiting list is something like 140 people,maybe more. All of them stay in 3 different hotels.company is looking for available houses in a compound north of the airport

Unavailable, I heard that also this week.
I'm told it's to do with the continual push-back/delay in instigating a new FMS (FAA Part 117).

Happy landings

EASA is full of ****. EASA should be more worried about tackling down P2F schemes in Europe..... but i have heard that rumor too.
