Right over your head, dear chap.
Sen tycker jag din gammatik är glimmarande, jag menade din stavning
Tyckte det var en just passning med tanke på ditt "limits of language"

DY recruitment
A while ago DY gave applicants a test where they got pictures of airplanes and had to identify the type..

I really don't see what's so strange about it. DY had one of the more sensible interview tests I've seen. Instead of being locked into a room and given 500 ATPL questions, you where given a little booklet witch had several actual operations questions, like decoding a metar/taf, calculating holdover time, etc. and you where asked to do this during the interview.
One of the questions was a picture of a Norwegian Boeing 737 and you where asked what aircraft this was... of course 99% of the people knew it was a 737 and most could even identify the model, but some people had no idea what kind of aircraft Norwegian used, and this was an easy way to judge what kind of interest a candidate had in the company. Most employers expect job candidates to have some level of knowledge about the company they are seeking employment with.

And off course you work for DY, right??
I heard from a source in DY management that one of the reasons for the new program with DY rating and sim check is that they have experienced low efficiency on a lot of candidates during line training.... so maybe their "sensible" interviews weren't all that cost efficient after all...?

Does anyone know if the "Norwegian" Pilot Union is dealing with this at all? It's very strange that the Union can accept this kind of employment politic.
It seems that there is no contact between the DY-union, and other major Scandinavian airlines pilot unions, in this challenging case....
I heard that all new pilots will be hired on PARC contracts. I hope their deals are better than the Estonian's...

Tally-ho..
This is highly unofficial, but what I heard from some DY pilots is that the union cut a deal where they "save" the ones with permanent employment, and lets say.. screw the rest...
I hope I'm wrong...

Earlybird, you are dead wrong.
As a Norwegian FO I can tell you that you are wrong about NPF. They did NOT accept the deal from the management that would guaranty our jobs for many years. The pilot group voted it down. So dont go saying that we are pissing our pants to keep warm when it is the exact opposite that`s is the case

Ok, my apologies, it is not my intent to spread wrong rumours. Still; how come your union is allowing this to happen? Very strange, and it will probably one day completely ruin your workplace.

Noen som vet hvordan det gikk med uravstemningen til denne produksjonsgarantien?

Håll oss inte på halster Init-Ref utan berätta vad NPF har för plan att stävja detta.
För visst är det väl så att det ligger lite i det Early Bird säger. Även om det inte är ett officiellt ståndtagande från facket så är det väl en attityd som finns bland en del medlemmar

There is no way around the simple fact that with two seperate groups driving the same logo, the cheapest group will get the expansion. Including new commands.
Anyone who believes they can maintain superior status-quo within a split organisation needs their head examined. Offering new commands in Malaga is not 'creative' thinking or something that 'may' happen. It is a integrated part of the management form adapted by DY from other carriers, and is unavoidable once the two-group setup has been completed. This is not new thinking, it's old. And it's a proved way of shattering the union.
Somebody will take those Malaga commands.

Come on, man. What union would reveal that kind of strategy in a public forum? This is the kind of thing that´s kept on a need-to-know basis.

NAIA, that`s spot on x2! 
That being said, it is of course the NPF`s members who can accept or decline the terms they are presented, albeit it does say a lot about how they perceive their own reality.

Thanks for the document Icenor, highly informative. It states recources from foreign bases (on contracts) can do two domestic legs and a layover in Norway. If the DY pilots do not understand where this is headed then.. Also I must say I am a little disappointed of the fact they are so greedy that they are willing to see this happen to secure own terms (they think..)
