This is the ad that will radically alter the playing field during current and forthcoming pay and conditions negotiations at many UK airlines, especially the charter companies.
There are large numbers of very senior and experienced people who have been waiting for this ad. Managers will naturally play it poker faced but have been carefully checking out sim and trainer course availability.
Some will also try to make to make capital of initial delivery delays to the freighter conversion line. This has been caused by Belgian CAA demands for totally new paperwork for an initial batch of ex-BA aircraft for use within the Belgian DHL operation. Both BA and Boeing are working flat out to resolve this issue and, once sorted, it will have little or no effect on aircraft for use within the UK operation.

According to the advert, it says "DHL has ordered 34 x B757/236 Special Freighters and is devloping a new UK Airline based at EMA...."
It follows on to say "....join our flight crew team in a new international airline...."
On that basis, I would guess "new" but perhaps a subsidary of DHL Worldwide Express.

Hang on, isn't Belgium JAA? And isn't the UK? So how come the Belgian CAA wants new/additional dcoumentation? Or is this simply them being their usual objectionable selves?

This is the occasion where the bonding ripoff can be stopped.
If they need to crew 35 aircraft, and it's unlikely they'll get rated people, anyone signing a bond is letting themselves and the side down. If they can't recruit pilots they'll have no airline.
Remember...they need you as much as you need them.
Just say NO!

mutt - The new operating name will be DHL Air i beleive - which is/was the name of the joint DHL / Hunting Cargo company that used to be based there before Hunting left. The airline would probably be a subsidiary of DHL Aviation.
EI EI O - the aircraft are being done at Boeing's Special Aircraft Services place.
When i hear of any other news regarding this airline i'll let everyone know.
Cheers all

'With a Foot & Mouth Here and Foot & Mouth There, old Mac Donald lost his farm!
EEEEEE--IIIII-EEEE-IIIII-OH!'
You are a very sad person but hey, it did make me smile!?
==========================================
On a serious note the quoted package, for a B757 captain at DHL UK, if true is more than pay point 20 (years) basic pay at BA with similar expenses too!
Now that will help their (BA) pay claim no end this year. Cheapest in the business I guess for a dual rated B757/767 Shorthaul/Longhaul rated pilot and with the cost of living near London to contend with.
Good luck as if they get a good pay rise so do all of us.

Ask TNT sometime about the Belgian CAA.

Hi guys,
for any info on the B757SF here's the boeing newspost on it:
http://www.boeing.com/news/releases/...e_010302a.html
There was also an article in flight 'bout a week ago metionning that the first plane was delivered 10 weeks late, funny the boeing site didn't mention it.
As for the Belgian CAA 'Sigh', I wish I could prove you wrong but unfortunately this institute has got the most abnogtious(ow how do you spell this word) in the world.
Cheers
