Hola!!!
I was called for an interview about one month ago but at that time I couldn´t go. I have 1700TT, which 1450 are Turboprop hours, so what can I expect? Senior or normal F/O? Where are they doing the personal selection? And the sim? Any idea about the charts for the sim?
Thanks from spain

If you've got your ATPL -> F/O, with frozen ATPL -> S/O
Which makes a big difference in pay since an S/O gets a paycut in the first year of employment, if you get your ATPL during the first year you'll automatically become F/O with full pay. With your hours you might be lucky and get grade 2 pay, but normally you only get that with >2000hrs.
See: ppjn (some info outdated)
Selection process usually in Dublin heard they sometimes use London. Don't know if they still use Paris.
Sorry can't help you with those charts...

Hi everyone, i just want to know if there's a possibility for me to apply with cityjet or in any European airline. I have my CPL license under ICAO and I am planning to convert my license and take the 14 exams (JAR). I have a total 1600 hours (1200Hours on turbo prop multi and 400 hours on single engine). I am employed at the moment and I fly an average of 75hours per month. I just want to seek advice regarding the conversion of license and the procedures so I could have an idea how it goes.. I would appreciate if someone could guide me.. Thank you in advance for the time..

Hey sidewinder,
I also had a icao cpl but I couldn't find a job with it so I converted it to a JAA licence and after a job flying a light twin I ended up at CityJet.
If you have the right to live and work in Europe it makes it a lot easier. I stand to be corrected but I think that if you were to have a full atpl in the country that you were converting from and you had the requirements for a JAA ATPL I think you only have to do a few of the exams and I think the flying required is reduced and you would gain a full JAA atpl. If not you'll have to sit all 14 exams and then do the flying- cpl is training as required and the ir is a minimum of 15 hours. I did my ground school www.bristol.gs and converted www.bfctraining.co.uk- both really good.
I really enjoy going to work, and you'll fly with some excellent crews.
Hope that helps, good luck
Cheers
