NAX
 

Hi,

Did anybody received NAX email this morning?

Feel free to PM.

Best regards,

MD

Yep
 

Recieved an e-mail from NAX this morning as well. I must say I think 7 days prior notice was a bit much:} But I guess thats airlines in a nuttshell :-)

Er det mange scandinavier som har søkt, og hvor mange er interesert i Warsave base, hvis det er det de tilbyr?

Interesting to see that they have splitt the interviews into Scandies and Other :-) wonder what that meens. Is it for different bases On if it is just for convenience. And why Copenhagen and not Fornebu. :-) Me wonder.

Håper jeg klarer å lure meg til fri slik at man kan gå......

Despite this is the Nordic forum, and many of us are able to understand what you wrote on your previous post, I think it would be a good idea to write in english as this topic may affect people from many different countries.

Any idea on conditions? Sim ride? Number of pilots needed?

Regards,

MD

NAX
 

Sorry for the norwegian language, but as what i wrote in Norwegian language only conserned Scandis I wrote it in norwegian. I was asking if any other Scandinavians had gotten the E-mail ,if you didn't understand it. now you know. :)


As for the terms and conditions, They are a bit vauge. Because Nobody really knows if the pilots that are employing now is to crew the polich base and if they are, will they come under the Norwegian T&C or will NAX come up with some new, and cheeper T&C for the polich base. I have some friends that have recently started in norwegian, and they did do not have a initial Sim Check combined with the interview, but everybody that is accepted have to pass a 3 day sim-Convertion as I understand it.

Regards

No prob mate, I did understand what you said, it´s just because this topic may be of interest for many other european/non-european nationals. ;-)

So, from what you said, no sim-ride, just an interview?. Technical? About your background?. After this email, which is the next step? To wait for an invitation? What makes the difference to be selected for the polish or scandinavian base? nationality?

Rgds.

NAX
 

I guess so.

I must admit I dont know. I guess wait for the invite to show up. One small issue for me is wether theese interviewes are only for polish base, or NAX in general. The application papers said Warsawa, but I would think Polish Pilots may be perferd for these positions. Time will Show.

For me the main reason to apply for NAX is getting home.... Yours?

Don´t ask me why, but always (since it started 737 ops) wanted to fly for Norwegian (destinations, fleet size, etc...). In addition, I´m willing to move to Scandinavia or East Europe. In my oppinion Warsaw could be a good place to live.

Fingers crossed, hope to get an invitation, eventhoug by this time, without any anticipation, tickets are quite expensive!

Hi there,

and thank you MD12 for inviting me over. I got an email this afternoon for the interview in copenhagen for the 18th. Wish they had given us some more time but can't complain.

This is my first interview so a bit nervous any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

So I guess you have the same email we got this morning, where there's info about both interviews (CPH, WAW); or just for the CPH interview?
Any idea on what to expect? Do you mind if I ask you about your background?


Best regards


MD

Hi,

Yes I got both emails. About my background im from the UK, im low hours but have a 737 Rating.

I dont have much idea of what to expect but im hoping this forum could help? But if I do find anything I will post it here.

So will they send us another email with more information on what to expect? or is that it and we show up in Copenhagen???

7500

No idea, as they say reserve time for interview, but don´t know if I do have to go to Warsaw or CPH, do we show up? where? What about those invitations?


No idea!!

I thought the Warsaw interview was for only polish candidates, and the copenhagen interview for Scandanavian's?

But on my 2nd email I was told that the interview will take place in CPH from 11a.m so I guess we just show up at the Hilton in CPH???

7500

The point is I´m not Scandinavian nor Polish? Where do I go?


Regards,

MD

That makes two of us!!!

With regards to the 2nd email I received it stated that Interviews will take place in CPH at 11am. So with regards to this i believe that all non scandanavians like me and you will go to CPH.

I guess there's no harm in sending them an email to clarify this to be certain??

Would you mind telling me about your background MD12!!

7500

That's what I did. No reply yet.

Would you like to try to clarify this with them as well. As soon as one of us get this info we can share, if it´s ok for you.

73 rated, actually flying othe type, and as I said, I´m not Scandinavian, nor Polish, but I used to have Scandinavian Nationality.


Regards

I will do that no probs.

7500

We keep in touch then. Take a look on the forum tomorrow for updates.


Regards,


MD

For sure we keep in touch and I will keep my eye on the board for updates.

Cheers

Starsurfer, were you at Crawley last november-december?

NAX
 

Nope can't say that I was.

Jeje, OK, Thanks anyway.

Did you find out what do we have to do next? Can I ask you where are you from?


Regards,

MD

NAX
 

I am from Norwegians Home country.... :)

At the moment I am going to give it a day or two, and see if more information arrive. If not, as I am Scandinavian, If I don't hear anything i show up in Copenhagen at 11 A:M if I am able to get a day of from work. And see where it goes from there.

Uhh...

To be honest I´m a little bit affraid on what am I doing. Not really sure, so I will give it a couple of days and see what happens.

Do you mind to share your background?

Regards,

MD

Chaps.. I heard the word low houred.. any of you have below the hours mentioned in the Norwegian jobad (1500TT, 500 multicrew, B737 experience)??

Hours
 

I know that they have been fearly strict on their hours in the past. At least if you do not have 500 hours on type. But if you have experience on type, they might be a little more flexible on the total time. But if they have caled you for an interview, thay might have changed this. Me not know :-)

No haven't been invited, as I never applied to airreps. I was told by NAX, that they would not consider applicants below the required hours.. would be a bit disapointed if they did anyway :\

why dissapointed?

Dunno the actual situation at NAX, but what I don´t really know is if there are many B737 experienced crews willing to move to Poland (nice country by the way), as almost all the airlines are looking for such qualified pilots all over Europe.

There might be a lot of low houred, type rated, well prepared f/o able to join the airline and operate safely.

Best regards,


MD

Hi guys,

I have not received any more information from NAX. I did send them an email last night and was hoping for some more info. but nothing has come.

Im coming from the UK and I need to sort out accomodation and flights pretty soon.

Will keep you guys posted if I hear anything.

7500

any news?
------

no news!!!!

Instead of being

Yeap that's true, but those attending the interview are supposed to be on the 18th!! That gives you a short period of time to get a flight, hotel, etc..


Keep your fingers crossed!

How are the Terms & Conditions? Is it the so popular;

setup-new-company-in-developing-country-so-we-can-screw-the-pilots-we-have- now type of deal?

What is the union's postition on this new company?

NAX
 

Just got an E-Mail telling me to be in copenhagen the 18th at 11 o'clock, to attend an interview with the managment from NAX.

Same for me! See you there!!

got the email too. See you there and good luck to everyone.

Sent an application a couple of days ago when I read this thread ... guys can't believe it .. got the invitation for interview too.. :ok:

Anyone know if it will be just a chat or a battery of aptitude-math tests etc?

Oh mate, hope you fullfill all their initial requirements, if not you're going to be a bit disapointed!!! :) Good luck anyway.

By the way, it is quite funny that you have edited your post, deleting the fragment where you say you´ve been told by the assistant chief Pilot (chief pilot, dir ops, can´t remember) that they where not going to hire pilots with less experience.

Oh mate, that's really really strange!! isn't it?

Regards and once again, good luck.

MD12: I sent them an application only a few days ago and have received the same e-mail from Airreps, as you probably received today, with the schedule and times for the introduction and following interviews.

I assume they have read my application form and CV and thus know my hours. If they thought I would not be able to do the job, they would not invite me, but they did. It's true I do not meet their formal requirements, other than the fact that I have the rating to fly their machines. Maybe they did not receive the number of expected applications and unofficially lowered their requirements.. who knows..

Can't see the funny part.. it's my posting, can't I do with it what I like? I have chosen to delete a part of it. But is it wise of you to then resubmit what I wanted out of my posting?
