Are there any danes here, working at Wideroe ?

Griffin

Yes there are quite a few of them by now. 7 days on, 7 days off calls for "unproblematic" commuting.

I am thinking of applying for a job there, and I would just like to talk to some of you how are already there. The reason that I am applying is the challenging flying, and that I would like to fly airline. How is the working climate/kulture?. How does the schedule work 7/7 from DK would make it a 9/5 five right? What are the starting bases typically (North right?). Hope you can help me out.

I´m commuting from CPH. Lives in Scania. Works just fine and if you are lucky, you get a late start and a early off. Then it is 7/7. Worst case is 8/6, never 9/5.
And yes, you will be based in Bodö or Tromsö for the first couple of years. It´s just a matter of bidding.

Out of curiosity, are wf pilots allowed some sort of ID travel with other companies?

BestGlide

ID-travel with SAS, Star Alliance network, and almost all other companies around the world. Enjoy!

If hired, WF will pay commuting from your nearest airport (within Scandinavia) to your WF-base.

The job just became 2000% more attractive. I thought you paid your own proceeding, but with ID tickets and first night in hotel if arriving the night before for an early start.

BestGlide

You have to pay for hotel/apartment at base of course Approx NOK 500 per night in hotel, and if you hire an apartment together with colleges, approx 1500-2000 NOK per month.
