Re: City Airline
There is an article about the airline in December's ATW magazine. Spoke to a rep at a Swedish aviation conference and was told they only use contract pilots. Had some contact with them in late 2001 about a position via Rishworth Aviation for an FO position. Everyone seemed nice and professional, but the position never panned out.

Re: City Airline
OK,
This summer, in June, they did look for pilots who were willing to pay their own type-rating.
From what I heard they only hired pilots already living in Göteborg and I was told the type-rating cost $30 000. Sounds like a lot of money to fly a small jet.

Re: City Airline
Thanks,
remember seeing that they were looking for crew this summer. Just wanted to find out if the pay is Ok and if the crew is a happy bunch. Seems like a quite nice job flying around teams and celebs! Plus the E145 is quite a good looking airplane.

Teams and celebs? I though they operated scheduled routes...? We are talking about www.cityairline.com right?

Re: City Airline
They have signed contract with two French football teams, Olympique Lyon and another team I believe to fly them to their away games during UEFA Champions League and other matches. Or am I wrong informed?

Re: City Airline
The ATW article does a good job explaining all about City Airline in Gothenberg. Plus, just announced a codeshare with SAS. City Airline was mentioned as looking to expand outside of Scandinavia with another hub; also mentioned in the article.

Do you have to be Swedish to fly for City? Can anyone in the know shed some light on the possibilities for contract pilots? I have over 1000h on ERJ-145s...
Thanks for any insight!
