Isn't the pay ridiculously low for this operator? Are we talking regional wages to fly a 744F worldwide?

[cessnapete]

Iver

Yes, lowish pay but they are awash with applicants every time they recruite.
Lots of people would like a rating and fly a B744F or new B748F worldwide for that money.

A very friendly and efficient operation. More than can be said for some non- UK cargo operators,

9k upfront deposit is a bit of a steep one though! I know it's refundable, but still a big cheque to write at the start of a new job! But it is a billion times better than anything that Easy Jet or Ryan Air have got to offer.

[Deep and fast]

that was a waste of an e mail.

In what way D & F ?

[Deep and fast]

I'm a little short of £9000 at the moment. But maybe they have a funding stream available.

Thanks for the heads up, I applied this afternoon. I spoke to GSS HR and they said that they were looking for around 20 FOs which is encouraging.

I agree that £9000 is a bit steep but you do get it back in months 19-36 unlike the £30000 or so you have to pay easy, jet2 or ryan. It certainly appears to be the best gig in town at the moment although things do seem to be accelerating quickly in a positive direction.

Having done a thread search, it came up with a lot of interesting things about GSS. However, it all appears to be several years old now.

Does anybody have any new information about the current interview process and how the Pilots feel about the company at the moment?

It appears to be a good opportunity and it is nice to see that things are picking up at last!

Good luck to all those that apply

from the end of training and if you are lucky!

[CLB-1]

Any sign of staff travel? I understand there's none at the moment.

[San Expiry]

'Benefits include away-from-base allowances (£2.00 per hour, plus £10 per hotel night overseas)- do I read that as £10 night-stop allowance? Wouldn't buy a beer in some hotels I know.

And is BA still parachuting new captains in?

[free at last]

Waste of Time

All you are going to is a gear switch jerker as the BA guys will do that to you. The 800 has no gear handle. Good Luck.!

Anyone heard anything yet?

[binsleepen]

Hi,

I haven't. I rang them early last week and spoke to HR and she said that the Chf Plt would be reviewing all the applications in between trips so it might take up to 3 weeks to hear back.
