Buenas tardes a todos,
Sabéis si VLG tiene previsto contratar a más gente este año?
Por otro lado, aquellos que recientemente habéis entrado (o aplicado), sabríais decir cómo fueron los teóricos? Leo que algún compañero forero cree que con el ACE debería ser bastante, y otros que con los ATPL.
Están basados en los famosos Aviationexam?
Un cordial saludo

I can reply to you in English.
I have no idea if they are planning another recruitment stage this year, us in the holding pool are still waiting for a call. The holding pool is valid for summer 2021 as well. A few days ago they asked us to update them immediately about our current notice period and whether we are rated or not.
As for the test, I would say ACE is a good start, but the test has also questions that only a person working for another operator would be able to answer, like questions on MEL items categories. Unless of course, you were already a genius during your ATPL theory days!

Thank you for you answer, banana Joe.
Regarding the ATPL, i did mine in 2018-2019, but due to the work, moving to other city etc i didn't kept it fresh, so basically i should start almost from 0 (not really, but you know, if i should now do a test, probably i will not succeed).
If i may ask you, could you explain us a little bit more about how was the theory? Which subjects they asked more about? I would like to focus on what really matters in an assessment and avoid the non-really-necessary-to-memorize-again..as far as i know, Vueling assessments are pretty similar to other major airlines and could be great if someone who succeed recently could give us as much info as possible.
I started this week with Op.Proc. and (as example), i don't know if i need to know how many fire extinguishers a plane must carry on regarding it's pax capability..from my ignorance on assessments, those kind of knowledges are necessary to pass EASA ATPL exams but i don't know what an airline is looking for... sure you get the point what i mean.
For now, i will keep working on my IFR rating. Fortunatelly, i have already a pilot job in aerial work and i can keep my logbook growing even if it's little by little, but you never know what can happend in the future.
And regarding the language in this forum, to me is fine Spanish or English even if my english it's not fluent enough. I understand it's "Spanish forum" but still i appreciate politness and the kind answers.
regards to everyone!

If you go back a few pages on this thread, you will find out my feedbacks from last September. All the questions were relevant from an operational perspective, not really reflecting the crap of current EASA ATPL exams. I prepared mainly with ACE and by reviewing chapter 8 of my current employer's OMA.
Review Lov Visibity Operators, All Wether Ops, RVSM regulations and requirements, etc. You find all of this information in Part-CAT.

Great site to navigate through the regulations.

I am in the holding pool and they are not keeping us in the loop. I certainly can't blame them, we're definitely not their priority right now. I've been told they have only furloughed their employees for the time being (ERTE), but are they planning on redundacies in the future?
My hope, kind of, is that with Norwegian retreating, IAG might take on the void left by Norwegian with Vueling and LEVEL.

Bases and number of employees affected are still undisclosed.
The are rumors about up to 40-45% of the pilots to be made redundant, but at this stage those are just that, rumors.
The company doesn't expect things to go back to 2019 before 2023, at the earliest.
Funny times ahead, good luck to everyone.

Any insight about it? I was not holding my breath anymore, but it's hard for us to get any information from Vueling, their plans, etc. The guys in the holding pool have been told absolutely nothing since February, when they started calling some.
We might get an official email by the end of the year. Might being the key word...
New letter from SEPLA received, company Doesn't want to pay the Extra money to the people after September. New ERTE for 500 pilots at 100% is coming. 250 CPTs removed from left side and moved to right side
We might get an official email by the end of the year. Might being the key word...

I'm not in Spain at the moment (haven't been for a long time), but from a friend in Vueling: at the moment they have 135 airplanes, unofficially they are estimating that for this Winter season they will need not more than 50 frames. These Summer they have been flying 40'ish-50'ish hours while in previous years they were on the absolute legal limit.
IAG is going to stop paying the extra allowance they have been giving the pilots since all this started, meaning the company pocket is starting to dry out. Pilots now will have to rely solely on the government payment scheme (barely 800 EUR a month or so).
All airlines are putting off fires, any sort of long/middle term planning now is senseless as nobody can predict what restrictions will be in place next month.
I don't know much about Vueling managerial style, but it seems to me that the holding pool is the last thing in their mind right now. If you happen to have ANY sort of job at the moment stick to it and, even if Vueling ends up calling you, thread lightly before taking the leap.
Mucha suerte Bud!

Banana Joe,
Negotiations currently in progress between the unions and the company. The rest is only rumors and bull****. It is true that the economical situation is very bad in this industry and it is likely to remains this way for the next 24 months at least, so for sure, do no expect any recruitment in the meantime as the company is completely overstaffed.

Ya volvieron por sus fueros los amiguetes Banana Joe y elmensajero...se os echaba de menos...
Creo que el silencio generalizado del resto de intervinientes en este hilo, ante vuestra postura reiterada de seguir expresando vuestras inquietudes en inglés, habla por si solo del interés que despertáis.
Each his own...

My God, Mach... you were not so cocky when you asked for advice in the self funded ATR type rating thread. Next time I bring you help it will be solely in English language!
Once, many years ago, I got a job that was my last chance before going bankrupt thanks to a kind soul that posted an recruitment ad here in Pprune. I never got to thank the guy (can't locate the posts anymore), but my life would have been very different if it wouldn't be for another fellow pilot who sent help regardless of language, nationality, and boundaries. Fortunately you, and the likes of you, are a minority.
I wish you good luck with your job quest, and even greater luck when you step in a cockpit.

Perdon...? Quien crees que eres para imponer que se use el inglés aqui? Sigues sin ver en que foro estás..?
Ya tuvimos un encuentro en el pasado tu y yo y tuve que reportarlo a los administradores y ciertos mensajes tuyos fueron eliminados si recuerdas..
No querrás que comencemos el proceso de nuevo..

Te aplaudo Iggy..queda patente tu minuto de gloria y ya veo que estamos a Rolex y a setas...como diría aquel..y que el hecho de ponerte medallas por aconsejarme sobre un tema que te consulté y que no tiene nada que ver con lo que estamos abordando, al margen de parecerme bastante ruin el oportunismo de sacarlo a la luz porque a nadie le interesa, te da pie a actuar de árbitro parcial y secundar opiniones, para mas INRI también en inglés, de otros que se olvidan haber entrado en un Spanish Forum,
Aun desconozco cuales son los objetivos que perseguís algunos usuarios dando coba a quien interviene en inglés usando su mismo idioma pero te aseguro que yo he conseguido mucha más información de pilotos españoles acerca de esta y otras compañías, que de pilotos en habla inglesa, lo cual no deja de tener sentido supongo, no crees?
De todas maneras has probado a hacer algún comentario en el Nordic, French o Italian Forum habilitados actualmente sobre alguna compañía aérea propia de algunos de esos países, en castellano? Lo digo porque a priori me resulta un brindis al sol, y encontraría lógico que no te respondiera nadie, al margen de que lo vería improductivo para tus intereses. Vuelve a tener sentido, no?
Solo te digo, que hacéis un flaco favor a quienes defienden actualmente su nivel IV OACI en inglés como pueden que son muchos en España y Sudamérica, y optan por entrar en este tipo de foros con un idioma predeterminado para estar actualizados y al final terminan por cejar en el empeño de leer todas las parrafadas e historias en inglés que despliegan algunos por aquí desde hace tiempo, total para nada, porque siguen siendo los mismos de siempre.
Eso me consta porque es así, aquí.. en Roma y en Pernambuco...
Hablando del consejo que pedí del que me hablas...tenia pensado volverte a hacer alguna pregunta, porque resulta un poco enrevesada tu explicación, pero visto con quien se puede topar uno por aquí, me lo voy a pensar. Lo siento pero no me fío..
Aún así, si reconsiderara mi postura, tendría que hacerlo en inglés también..? No es que me vea incapacitado y puedo hacerlo sobradamente ya que cuento con un ELP Level 5 pero uno no quiere llevarse sorpresas luego como las que sigue encontrándose por aquí ...
