TC,

There are currently no vacancies

Is it too late to apply?

Please can you verify for us, "Substantial mountain flying experience".
Would an Austrian Air Force High Mountain Landing Course, Saillagouse, AAC dets and a bit of work with the Snowdonia National Park be enough?
Or are you looking for someone from across the pond?

Thanks.

No mention anywhere of a forthcoming vacancy at WCAOU by any chance, is there?

[Helinut]

Direct Employment seems to be the up and coming thing. What with the effect of the revised PITO framework and the trickle of pilots from the existing DE Units

My sources tell me there is likely to be a need for replacement line pilot at Sussex too in the near future.

[Thomas coupling]

Silsoe: Not too late, too early in fact. Ad comes out around 2/4. (Hence nothing in the web site yet).

Your mountain flying exp. seems fine - It's not the size of the mountains that count it's what you do with them that requires the experience!
Get your application in if you fancy waking up each morning to some of the most beautiful scenery in the UK.

Good luck.

Don't think so, but it looks like there might be a vacancy at West Mids soon...

[handysnaks]

Yeah, right

[MINself]

Thud_and_Blunder, would that be a fail to stop type opening?

[ChristopherRobin]

I bet the pay is in line with the high skills/hours needed...

...or 'B'

[flimflam]

so, what do we think the remuneration will be for this position?

Is poor pay the reason for the vacancy?

[Helinut]

flimflam,

On the basis of the last avertisements for the post, no one will ever know apart from those who work there.

Whats the score with the vacancy in Lancs?

[sss]

with over 4000 hrs but no twin

that's ok, just tell them you will use the one engine at a time, and it will also save the police service a few quid in engine hours

Hingmay, your problem isn't no twin time, it's the fact that you can't speak English.

[Thomas coupling]

I think you'll find the pay is in the top percentile for the emergency services industry as it's a directly employed post. This job also comes with a final salary pension, overtime, expenses, LOL.

[Hingmay]

TT

Tell me about it... where is the logic nowadays?

[cyclic_fondler]

Hingmay, your problem isn't no twin time, it's the fact that you can't speak English.

wg13_dummy, If you're based around North Wales then the locals might prefer that you can't speak English!

[wg13_dummy]

If the Independent Republic of North Wales bump into Hingmay, they'll think he's from another planet.....
