I finally received the results of my assessment today.
I passed and have been entered into a holding pool and will be contacted once a vacancy arises. From what I have read on this thread I won't be holding my breath!
And, assessments are still ongoing, baffling!
Anyway, good luck to everyone else.

Hi everybody!!!
I applied as "pilot" on Air Baltic website job position, like more pilots here...
Unlucky, their said me that will look forward with other options.
I've all minimum requirements shown on career page, including Type rating on B737.
Now my question is: what is missing to be called for an interview?!
Probably they forgot to add on minimums... "more lucky", cause otherwise i don't know why i can't have the possibility to be selected as First officer...
How many of you have been called for an assessment with minimum requirements, without B737 type rating??
Anyone knows who is recruiting for summer contract, with only type, in a worldwide??
Thanks a lot at all!!!

B737
Hi all
I have some hours on type and I passed the first assessment for B737 FO some time ago, and they put me in a holding pool for the last interview. Then I asked when they think that will happend but no answer. Anyone else in the same situation? Someone who knows if they need more FOs in the next few months?
someone also mentioned that we have to pay to fly the summer contract, that is a major assertion to say so can someone specify it more.
Cheers

Hi SARDO!!! :-) i think that you're italian, but due to better understanding of other members of this forum, i'll write in english :-)
So i read here that You 're been called for an interview at 23 of may.! Congrats!!
But I'ld like ask You if u r rated on B737 with min 500h on type, because as You have been read few post before, i applied several times (i'm rated on B737 without hours on type but with 200h of jet heavy plane) without good result!!
could u tell me more about it??
Thanks and congratulations too, because this means that there is still work in around world!!

the holding pool is turning out to be more like an olympic size swimming pool.
had a few mates who passed all interviews and most of them moved on to another job except one. don't hold your breath on this one but take it as a learning experience

Seems to me they're creating a buffer for an exodus or something. Any dash drivers not being offered a start date? I can understand that if you're not rated that they will be less interested, but from what I understand they still need alot of people for the Q400 and if they can come in qualified and experienced for free that's just perfect for them.
Anyone any information about that?

I am one of those that made it through Phase I in RIX, now looking at suitable dates to meet their shrinker and hopefully get a job offered.
Has anyone fresh info on their T&Cs for the DHC's fleet? What about the relationship between the 3-yrs bond (+ the 9K their charge the "discounted" TR...) and the Latvian/EU employment law? In UK this has always been regarded as a controversial practice, welcomed by pilots (as long as it suited them) and hardly enforced by all operators (when things went sour) due to its "borderline" nature in terms of legality.

exodus
Does anyone have concrete information about when they DO need people from the pool?
I know there will be a course in may, maybe in June or July as well, they are trying to find people with TR first. Anyone has concrete information about the amount of people they need for these courses?
Thanks

@ undertherainbow: I don' care at all when will they need people from the pool, because I will not put myself in any pool. If the need me now, which might be likely for the summer season, I will be available to start working straightaway. If they will put me on a stand-by status, I will continue to do interviews. If I will still be free when they will ever call me, I will come, otherwise no. In other words, I can accept they can not go ahead with a contract immediately after the assessment, however in this case I will make sure with HR that I might not be available in the future.

I think HR are savvy enough to guess that.
If you are looking for a 737 position, and the rate of pilots leaving is indeed as mentioned in another post above, it may be that come the end of your Summer contract that you are offered a permanent one as so many have left who are senior to you. Never a guarantee, but not impossible.
