Primera Air
Hi there
I've looked for some info regarding the company Primera Air in the search tool but nothing.
Do you guys know anything regarding the pilot conditions?
Salary, roster, stability, etc.. I've seen that they'll be recruiting for 2013 season, summer only? Long term?
Cheers.

Oh nice, got 2600hours 
Just received an automatic email:
Interviews for selected candiates will be held durring the period from November 2012 to February 2013. Depending on crew need and training schedule, pilots will be phased in for summer contracts. Contract lengths will be from 3-7 months. The jobs offered will be for a fixed term, not permanent terms. In the fall 2013, when crew need for winter 2013-2014 is clear, continued work might be offered. Selection criteria for continued work will depend on mutual interest, bases available, crew composition and performance.
We hope this answers the questions you might have.
If you guys want the job right now and to be flying for years growing hours and € it isn't a really good option.
But better than nothing!

It is indeed, have been in Lion Air now for 1+ years. I also sent application to Primera Air. But it sounds a bit unstable. Just really don't want to stand in a situation where they don't need any flying for winter season.
What about the Norwegian contract program, any success?

I know of one person who started back in Spring who will continue over Winter
(albeit with a base in HEL . . . . or in Winter should that be HELL ?
) but I don't know how many others were given this opportunity.
It seems their requirement is a bit seasonal, but then again, ask any Ryanair FO how many hours he expects to fly between now & Springtime

Got the mail saying all places have been filled for the coming year but if there are any changes in feb 2013 then more crew can be sourced. Been sending out CVs for the past 5 months and everyone in europe is fully crewed for the coming year. Really don't fancy picking up the family and moving to Asia but that could be my next move if nothing comes through soon.
