you will need a lot of initiative and self help to survive the pit, cowboy. if this were an aptitude test, that would be a fail.

Thanks for the helpful post Olbie. Despite my last post my attitude is pretty much in-check. I am usually a mellow person. It's just a pet peeve of mine that some posters have so little to do that they add junk to a public post when it is far easier to ignore the post if they have nothing of value to add.

Regarding my aptitude, thanks for the concern, but see above.

AQP
 

Yeah definitely - The likes of Chris and Ali did a really good job crafting one of the most respected AQPs in the region.

Don't forget Bob.H.

So, if I have about 2800TT, 1400 Part 121 Jet and about 140 Turbine PIC, do I have a shot at GF?

You might if they can't get type rated people I guess. Anyway, good luck.

Thanks. They've posted vacancies for both typed and non-typed people. Let's see what happens.

Honest Question :)
 

Hey guys, I have been selected to attend the GF interview in the near future. I have read a lot of threads here and I know many of you think I am crazy to even go there and try. However, for the simple guy like me who doesn't know much about the GF aside from the web reading, I'd like to ask these question to the guys who are flying there right now. From what I gathered on the net, it seems to me that now GF is heading in the right direction. Is it true, and how have things changed from the past management and all. I am currently flying the A320 family and don't want to make a side move. Is it true that there are 18-787 on order along with something like 20-330 and about the same of 320?
Thank you guys for answering me? Keep them coming :)

Yes, it is true!

20 A320 family + 15 A330 family + 16 (+8 opt) B787 family

Airbuses to be delivered until 2011 (already started with 2 A319 and 3 A330 in the first half of 2009)

Boeings to start on 2016 (maybe something in 2010...)

Personally, I like to work here, I made a lot of friends form this half decade here and the things are going well from one year now. Of course there are unhappy people as well since there is no perfect job...

Good luck!
