Postkontraken (Norwegian Mail Contract)
http://www.dn.no/forsiden/naringsliv/article790018.ece
Anyone with performance info on the ATP or HS748 with regards to:
- JAR-OPS 1.245(a)(1) or (2) criteria (60 or 120 minutes S/E from adequate aerodrome) on the awarded Tromsø - Svalbard - Tromsø route?
- JAR-OPS 1.295 requrements for destination alternate(s) on the same route?
It's roughly a 550 NM mile stretch without alternates available on Svalbard.

It would be VERY interesting if "Posten" knows about this and if West Air will care about it at all... (Unfair competition and playing with safety) Nowdays only low cost counts as we all know. Rules and regs are not followed by many of the the smaller carriers as they should, and we all know it. WHERE IS LT!!!???

Hello!
The required flight-hours are as follows:
Captain: 3000 TT which 1000 hours twin engine.
First Officer: 500 TT which 200 hours twin engine and MCC.
I think they still looking for Captain's, F/O i am not sure.
They will be operating an ATR72 but i don't know yet if this will be in Norway or some other country. The primary aircraft for flying the Norwegian mail will be done with the BAE ATP and CRJ200 leased to fly Tromsø-Svalbard route.
Good luck to you all, fly safe!

You're missing my point here. Arlanda, Oslo, Copenhagen - all have national carriers operating alongside foreign carriers. And that's good - competition is good. And I'm not saying that West Air is taking "our" jobs - they'll probably want to hire Norwegians: I'm just pointing out the fact that Norway no longer has any small charter/mail/freight/ad-hoc-companies (well - not THAT many, anyway), because SK/WF etc. are handling it all. I miss the colour and diversity.

Hello!
For new FO's the work schedule will be 6 week's on & 3 week's off.
I think one a/c will be based in West and one in the North and the main base for the rest of the a/c will be Oslo/Gardermoen.
You can choose 2 ways: either to pay the TR up front cash or bond yourself with the company for 3 years, draw SEK 5 500,- pr/month which gives about SEK 200 000,- for the BAE ATP TR.
Hope this was to some help!
Best Regards!

West Air Sweden Interviews
Hi.
Does anybody know the interview format and content?
What is used for the sim check ride?
Route information seems to be a little difficult to establish so any help here would be brilliant too.
Any help would be most appreciated and might help me turn a long struggle into an achievement to be proud of.

There are SOOO many companies screaming for Citation/Falcon/Hawker and 737 pilots out in Europe/Middle east and Asia that getting a job once you have the rating will not be a "problem"...and it´s getting better and better out there for every day that goes by!! Just wait until sept/oct when people get back from their leave and recruitement picks up again!! It will get really good!!

On the other hand it isn't that many companies to day which offer bonding, they require that you have taken the TR before you can even apply for the job. A TR on the B737 may give you a intervju, but it is a long way to land the job especially if you don't have hours on the type which are mention here. If you take this bonding, you at least don't have to take up extra loan. The conditions are hard to begin with, but as the first years go by, it's getting better and better i think and you at least have a flying job and are current operational! And for me as a lowtimer i see this as a good way and start to my aviation caeer! I have landed my first job on an ATP a/c and are very happy! Think positive - work hard!
