We do need the crew, but sadly the management continue to bury their head in the sand and pretend all is well.
We will lose a lot of good people soon as things pick up. Although in saying that we thought we'd lose loads to jet2 but lost virtually no one.
Log management have no handle on the current situation. When recruitment does pick up don't be surprised if it is from 'interesting' sources. Never from the normal channels, taking experienced people from the area. Sad but true. Scotlands airline no longer!

Skater, we must work for different Loganairs. Recruitment is continuous and management - particularly flight ops - is well aware of the situation. Preference is definitely for local pilots (although not exclusively) and there is an agreement with Tayside Aviation at Dundee to supply pilots to Loganair, so you could do worse than get up to Dundee and do a few hours in the simulator there.
Loganair - 50 years old next year - is and always will be Scotland's airline, you peasant!

Glad you said it DB6. No idea where Sk8ter works but sounds like a very different Loganair to the one I work for. I suppose Dundee pilots could be classed as an 'interesting' source...... If you're from Dundee that is!

I thought 'skater' went to BMI Regional ages ago?!? Here here on Scotland's Airline, long may Logi prosper...
I've flown short/medium/long-haul on various Boeing's since leaving and about to move seats, yet the only model on my study desk is a Saab340!

Loganair Recruitment
Loganair are most definitely recruiting (for hold pool), I have an interview this month.
Took almost 18 months of waiting and recommendation from a friend to get my hat in the ring.
If anyone with previous experience would mind sharing a few tips I'd greatly appreciate it?

Scotland's Airline?
I'm a passenger on the Flybe branded Orkney-Edinburgh route once or twice a month, and the Highland Park Whisky liveried interisland orkney routes several times a year. Rarely hear Scottish accents on the tannoy, hear lots of non indigenous scottish accents amongst the passengers. But the whole country is now multi cultural/accented - so a more diverse culture amonst the flight crew just reflects the diverse culture of modern Scotland. They always have a warm welcome for my West Highland Terrier when she flies with me (for free on the interisland flights) and recognise her as a frequent flier.
As long as they are safe pilots I don't mind where they come from originally.

Scoobydroo, what a very pleasant post, I am sure the crews fortunate enough to fly you appreciate your comments, and I am sure they are well aware who you are now too. Makes a change on here, to the usual detractors, I'm not just referring to the subject of this thread.
