There was a thread recently which looked a bit worrying which stated alledgedly that third pilots where carried on long haul trips, type rated but they had not completed line training if my memory serves me right. These Pilots operated to the Caribbean then deadheaded straight back.. Safety first...

WOW. That doesn't sound too fun. The destinations look nice, like Rio, but with low pay it might not be that fun. Does anyone know where they get most of their recruits? Why would somebody go work for them? I guess the A330 is a nice plane and all, but is it worth it? Maybe it would lead to heavy time and then Iberia would look at them?
What are the best airlines to fly for in order in Spain? (Iberia, Spanair, Air Europa, Iberworld, Air madrid, Air Comet, Air Nostrum, Air Pullmantair, etc?)
Thanks so much. Cheers!

Look, go make yourself a nice BIG coffee, get some biscuits with it, pour a scotch for when you go through bad moments, and settle down and read this

Air Madrid seems like a nice company to me. Anyone has some contact info maybe? I would be really grateful. Thanks in advance.
Adios
Never mind, I already have a telephone number.

Hi Donkey Duke,
Are you serious about the question, "which is the best airline to fly for in Spain?"
Iberia: Good conditions, stable company
Air Europa: The best pilot agreement of all, fun to fly for, expansion plans, great fleet...
The rest...
Hope that helped

Let me guess, you work for Air Europa? Do you fly the 767-300? Have you been to Quito or do you mostly do Havana and Punta Cana? Where will the A340's be flying to? Who will move from the 767 to the A340? Is there better pay or better rosters on the new plane? Why do you enjoy that airline so much? Can you give me an example of one of your rosters in one month? Thanks so much. Cheers mate!

Please Mod, has a post about a special tax regime for foreign workers in Spain been deleted from this thread since about five hours ago? I'm convinced I read it here and a search has not turned it up anywhere else. May I be PMed the content if it was deemed unsuitable for the open forum because of the reference to a particular football club?

As far as Air Madrid, I'd love to hear more about that operation. Do any non-Spanish people fly for them? Do you have to live in Madrid? That wouldn't be too bad. Yo hablo espanol!

Information
I would be interested as well about infos about the recruitment process at Air Madrid:
- who to e-mail the CV to?
- need 500 hrs on 330 or 340 or just type rating?
- what' s the assessment like?
Thanks FBW 390

Air Madrid is in the midst of major growing pains due to rapid positive expansion...certainly subject to fuel costs...have just announced a feeder system using 320 aircraft throughout key european cities to madrid for the S and C America destinations using 310, 330 and 340 s... all this backed by its own tour operator, AladaTours, which is slowly gaining market share alongside Globalia and Marsans etc.
Pilots are very well treated, with several belgians, french and portugese airbus veterans as TRI and TRE´s. The rest are all spaniards, some ab initios, the rest highly experienced ex captains from hola, air nostrum and air plus or aerbal...
Not surprisingly, the guys calling the shots are pro local recruitment, so unless you speak fluent spanish and have lots of airbus knowledge to share and positive attitude, dont bother applying.
I fly the 330 at AM and I am very very content so far...
