FlyGlobeSpan introduce dual basing
A little bird has told me that FlyGlobeSpan are about to introduce dual basing of pilots 'by the back door'.
Apparently contract pilots are being issued with 'new' contracts to sign under the cover of a compliments slip.
Inoccuous enough you might think - except ONE word has changed - Glasgow OR Edinburgh base, to Edinburgh AND Glasgow base.
A bit sneaky that - I hope no one has signed because this has been something of a hot potato with pilots there for some time.
I don't know how the airline stands with the CAA, as they weren't keen on this arrangement I understand?!
Anyone got any info?

This was the issue of a recent CAA FODCOM. The CAA are reluctant as I understand to get too involved so worded to the effect that "volunteers" would be dual based. A good example would be a seasonal base for Airline XX at LPL using crews from MAN most of whom live near LPL.
If my memory serves me rightly airlines have to apply to the CAA for the dual base. Clearly if its in a job offer your going to sign it, otherwise cause to complain a change to your contract ?
Just another way of saving money particularly if long flights involved

Contract pilots are not any different to any other pilots at flyglobespan; they have minds of their own...........if they don't like what's on offer, they don't sign up to it............simple.
flyglobespan has had dual basing approval from the CAA for some time now for both flight deck and cabin crew, and yes it is perfectly true that both existing and new starts from both regimes are being asked, if their domestic situation suits, to be dual based.
They aren't being asked to do it for free and are only considered for dual basing if they live within 90 minutes of either base.
And let's be absolutely clear here, people are not being forced to do anything, they are being asked.
The dual basing idea has CAA approval, it is being succesfully utilised by UK operators now, as it has been in the past, there are financial incentives for those who are eligible, it's a win win for all involved, so what's the big deal ?

Flyglobespan 767
Not seen anything advertised for them but am wondering what the requirements are for the Boeing 767?
Any ideas? Are they recruiting for the longhaul operation?
I have 4000 hours total time with 3000 hours on the 737-300 and 737-700.

Flyglobespan LHS Assessment
Hi Guys,
LHS assessment at GECAT usually takes the form of either a B737 NG or -300 sim check conducted by one of the senior GECAT trainers/examiners.
The format is similar to the old Britannia initial jet assessment.
Expect basic raw data flying in compass rose or expanded VOR display modes, over a triangular route with standard departure, cruise and descent profiles focusing on ADF and VOR tracking at nominated airspeeds for climb, cruise & descent etc.etc. plus steep turns and general handling exercises
Expect an NDB hold a short notice and perhaps an engine failure in the hold usually on the inbound turn to the beacon. Thereafter procedural s/e ILS and go-around and perhaps a non precision approach as well.
Focus is on good communications, CRM, recall and QRH checklists, more importantly focusing on prioritisation, use of all resources available and the acquisition of all available data and options etc..etc..... All pretty standard stuff as they say..!!!
It's not as easy as it sounds though.. good preparation is a must...!!! best of luck..!!!
