Its a good company to work for but they insist on going through contract agencies (Rishworths and IAC I believe). There are rumours that they will soon offer direct contracts so lets hope conditions improve somewhat if they do.

Thanks Jasper,
I did a skype interview with the chief pilot and a HR man was very straighforward just the usual questions about medical license and accidents or criminal records , I was then sent a link for a website where you do the maths tests psychometric assesments reading comprehensions etc , they were a little tricky , completed them last friday and waiting to hear results. fingers crossed , do you have time on 737 Jasper..?

Your Welcome... You Earned It!
Captain Boeing,
Thank you for the insight into the interview process. No, I do not have Boeing time but I got about 6000 hours with 3000 hours jet time and a current B737 type rating.
I would appreciate any contact info you might comfortably provide. Thank you.

Ok so it did not take long for Fiji Airways to smash up their first A330.
It happened on landing.
Training has always been a bit suspect, trainers are selected not on ability but on being able to do what they are told from management with out question even when they know it is wrong. The lack of ability is proven as some trainers have left for other airlines and struggled to get their commands!
We were taught on the 737 by local trainers to do low drag approaches 250kts at 10 miles 1000 ft then start hanging the flap out. Gear was selected at 500 ft. It was madness.
Question I have is how long after the local captains did their A330 type rating did they then become training captains?

Hi Alpine. Your answer is 6-8 months - approx - and there is only one to date. You would be hard pressed to find a better operator or training captain than the one appointee so far. The initial group of TRIs and TREs who came to the A330 introduction are all highly experienced with extensive backgrounds with major international carriers - they are all still with FJ. This team was also supplemented by Airbus training captains on rotation.

Sectrum and IAC
Thank you for your reply. I checked their websites and they indicate a need for 500 hours on type. The job ad I saw has no such requirement. I have no time on type...any thoughts?

... Untill may 2th the telephone line at Nadi will be busy of low hour pilots I guess..
With those requirements if there could have been a chance before at least for pilots with 2000 hours, now.. most of them will be spread out in the crowd of low hour pilots applying. Anyway... it means that the waiting period instead of 6 months will be more..
