Question Flyniki info?

Is there anyone from Austria or an insider with Flyniki who can give some info regarding te hiring of A320 F/O´s?

I´m also wondering about the name of the chief pilot.

Any info about this (and more) would be very welcome...

Cheers!

@Pander 216, belive me, if you are A320 rated you dont want to fly for this guy, unless you like flying about 130-150h per month for very low money.
If you want to get a A320 rating, maybe , but I am shure you have to pay for it. The rat dosent give anything for free.

Pilots are not hired with FlyNiki, they are hired by a leasing company, like this they dont have any union.

Thanx for that info EAM!

Do you maybe have the name of this leasing company?

When you start working for them: do not forget to carry a reasonable amount of vaseline in your flight gear - just in case you will get ******!!! Or in other words: there are enough outfits around which will hire you with your brand new airbus ticket, no need to move into expensive Vienna.

If you are with INTERCOCKPIT working with NIKI SOP´s (former AERO LLOYD SOP´s) for AIRBUS rating, there is a good chance that a dutch guy (Manager Training) will show up if FO´s are needed to be hired for NIKI.
Don´t expect to much if you know the name of the chief pilot.
Just send in your application, if you realy want to join. They took some young chaps from INTERCOCKPIT into the AIRBUS cockpit.
However there are also other AIRBUS operators which are expanding on the european market! I believe their color is ORANGE.

Pander216,
if you a jung cheap, who needs to step in to the business, you might consider the idea to join Niki. However if you have experience and might have the chance to choose your employer than listen to friendly advice of the people, who used to work with Niki’s management pilots and think about it one more time. There are other companies like Easy, having much better corporate culture and wages. To give you some idea, some people (former AEF) have chosen to go to Wizz or even to ME before even play with the idea to work for Niki.
Cheers.

Do you mean outfits that will hire without experience on
ticket type? Would you mind to point out which ones.
PM me if you prefer.

Do have the ticket but, unfortunately, no experience on the
ticket type.

Safe flights,

Thanx for all the good advice chaps!

I'm an ab intio with (almost) an A320 type with 0 hours and ezy and wizz will not take you on board without 500 hours on type...
The key now for me is to gain experience on the A320 so I have also sent my resume to almost every A320 operator in asia as well.

@Hahn: if you could point me out other operators that take on people without experience...

Cheers!
