Hi guys.... Is it true or just another bluff that Air Baltic may be considering A320's incorporation to their fleet at the end of the year? Just kinda curious.

Thanks in advance.

New order

If you google, you will find news stating the company is assessing new aircrafts.
The order may be A320 or B738. The decision will be taken next October.
Meanwhile, Airbus and Boeing are closely courting BT.
Be careful, just a news. No final order yet.

Any comments? Anybody done?

Anybody recently received a job offer? If yes, how long did it take between your assessment and the offer?

I'm just trying to get an idea of the current time required for the whole application process..

Regards

If you can swim and use an inflatable lifevest, and even better - swim with the lifevest - then you'll be fine. Mind the water in the swimming pool might be a bit chilly, but at least you'll have a refreshing morning swim. Good luck!

pipistrelle,
I think they don't want people with your kind massive experience.
They know full and well, that the T&C's they're offering is nothing to endure over a longer period of time. Hence, they know you'd be leaving at the first opportunity you'd get.
Given your experience, that could happen just about any day now.....

They want people that they know they've got "by the b*lls", so to speak.

Commander-, or F/O-newbie, eager to build up a good deal of hours, before moving on to pastures green(-er).

Is this information about rosters from PPJN:
None, often only 1 day off between w.days, 3 days off in row one time/month (not always planned)
current and up to date?

Hi everyone!

May be some of you knows about AB cadet school? What is required, and so on. Because I have passed assesment tests at FTE Jerez, and now I'm searching how to get further, because education there is a bit expensive (95k eur) to pay for it, as I live in Latvia, I would like to work on AB, so now try'n to collect information about their cadet school. May be some of you was participated, or just know something about it.

It would be very kind if you reply, thanks in advance!

they have specific expectations

The profile of the hired people are mainly low experience pilots.
They do not hire direct entry captain. They just want low profile pilot. They have the captains. They need the FOs.

Air Baltic Interview

Hi all

I got an invite to Air Baltic today for sim session next week. I have 2600 hours, 2200 multi PIC, 600 King Air 200.

What I dont know is wether Im being invited for Q400 or A320 interview as I know they are upgrading fleet and according to PCC website only have 1 Q400.

Is anybody in the same boat as me and a bit unsure of what is going on. I have just been told to report for interview and sim session.
