Thumbs up

You know things are bad when receiving your PFO feels slightly positive in that they deem you worthy of a response!

Got mine today too. Congrats to everyone else who got their acknowledgment today!

VFE.

PFO for me too. Not even retained for future opportunities. Guess the market really is saturated...!!

Good luck to the guys who did get an invite though.

Mine has just landed.
I must admit I am relieved, as becoming a wonnabe Nigel isn't high on my list to be honest.

I wonder if the applicants who got "not interested just now but we'll retain your details if that's OK?" backgrounds are compared to the "PFO, don't darken our door again .... Security!", don't know if any of those pilots would like to outline them?

Training: Modular or Integrated
Hours total to date:
FI qualification: yes or no
Already TR'd, if so what type:
British citizen: yes or no

Would be interesting to see if there was a common factor.

As for me, I got the PFO:

Modular
1,200
No
B757/767
yes

Maxalpha,

I'm just curious to know your experience as you have made future assesments.

Modular?

Cheers

Guys

For the dumb people amongst us (i.e. me), what does PFO stand for?

Thanks

Hi Guys,

I know there has been some interest in peoples experience levels, including mine. I have no problem at all sharing. In answer please see below. Sorry to those who on this occasion where not successful.

Training: Modular SSP
Hours total to date: 2000+
FI qualification: No
Already TR'd, if so what type: Q400
British citizen: Yes

I have been flying for 6 years and commercially for 3 years, UK and Europe.

It seems from what I have been reading, in my humble opinion that there is no real standard type of applicant. As always in aviation recruitment I feel it depends on so many factors of which I will never understand.

Hope this insight helps.

Good luck
