Generally pretty obliging, they do try to give you your requests. Most people would get 10 in a row as they request, especially the long haul commuters. Occasionally 8 +2 and many people now split into 2 X 5 or so to keep from the mammoth times away from home.

Just bear in mind it only takes yet another change of rosterer (4 in the last 2 years) for the policy to change. The contract is the final arbiter!

My good friend dispatched the Chief Pilot of NCA on a flight and he mentioned that I was taking my CPL and fATPL. Apparently, the CP asked for me to send in my resume as NCA would consider hiring a low time fATPL for FO.

Any freight dogs from NCA know this to be true?

Anyone getting a interview without B747 rating? For the US base (or any base for that matter) does NCA take care of the VISA requirements if you dont have one for that country?

Thanks.

250 hours commercial Jet?

"Hold a current and valid ATPL licenceand must
hold a B747-400 Rating.
Total Flight Time 3,000 hours with a minimum of
500 hours on 2 man jet aircraft.
Total B747-400 Time 150 hours.
Minimum of 250 hours PIC time on commercial
jet"

Is the 250 hours commercial jet new? I know of several guys that are working at NCA that don't have this requirement (At least I think they didn't).

Parc says there's no waiver for this even with 3000 hours on type and a command rating. Gotta have it.

True?

@ 320busdrvr

I sent Parc an email with that exact question and unfortunately they confirmed that NCA definitely does not consider non rated candidates at this time....

Hi all,

Any clue about how to pass the first requirement?

"Valid command rating on 747", all the JAR licences say COPILOT, as mine does.

Anybody from the inside to bring some light?!

" all the JAR licences say COPILOT": far from true.... Yours might, mine doesn't. Nothing written (although Bus n no 747...) on my licence... Sorry to ask, but do you have your ATPL?

As for those asking for salary range, interesting post, probably accurate on another forum cc NCA...
