NAS on line assessment
Hi alloha, luc753 and others....
After doing the Cut-e On-line assessment, have you received any feed back?
If you are successful, do you know what's the next step?
...and do you know, if the on-line assessment email was sent to you from the agency you did applied with, or by this stage (if successful) you are already chosen for further interview/assessment by NAS, I mean if you are already by now in the process with NAS?
Good luck to you....

Hello 8899. After doing the assesment, I have no feedback for the moment. I read on this topic, that the next steps if successful, it will be a sim interview and an interview with the RH and some tech questions (looks like 737 lim or explain some systems and some basics stuff like vmcg)....I applied only via the website not via an agency. Thanks you. I hope a lot...

The guys who joined in the last batch of recruitment, did they also have this 6 month initial contract period with the possibility of 24 months after?
Very interested in NAS but this condition is putting me off. I know you're more than likely to be there longer than the 6 months but it's a risk....

The first Helsinki contract offer was rejected by 98% of the HEL pilot group the second contract offer has been accepted by 98% of the HEL pilot group, its not perfect, but what is?
Not sure the contract period is relevant, either side can pull the plug at a months notice, I'm only aware of the company having exercised that option a couple of times and that was about the individual rather than the job position, i make no judgement on whether the company was in the right or not. I'm not aware of anybody not having their contract renewed.
If you want to join Norwegian then now is a good time as the recruitment will slow in 2015 when the last aircraft of the current 738 order are delivered, some of which will be to replaced the phased out 737-300's and a small number of early build 737-800 so no net recruitment.

Any one has any info on the FO salary an the type of roster they provide?they say for minimum 12 days off.Is it possible to work on a 5/2 5/2 4/6 5/2 pattern for example?

First email with negative response have been sent. Two of my friends rated and with some hours on type have been rejected. Me at the moment no news (which maybe is a good news).

Guys
I've read the whole Thread so I hope the answers to the following questions are not obvious?
1. Is the reason NAS are sourcing non-type rated FOs due simply to a lack of suitable type rated candidates in the market against projected future requirement?
2. How are 'contractors' paid (UK candidates):
4. What is the current position regarding the likelihood of experienced FOs being employed as a contractor and progressing to the LHS (website states: '12. Command upgrade within the group of contract pilots possible after 12 months hiring.' is this happening in practice, or is it mainly from within the permanently employed FOs)?
Thanks in anticipation.

2. How are 'contractors' paid (UK candidates):
- Own Limited Company;
- 'Umbrella' company;
- as 'self-employed' (sole trader)?

Fly Gosh: Norwegian Air Shuttle Pilot Recruitment - Non rated and rated Captains & First Officers ( CPL / IR )
Kite, more chance to be upgraded as a Contract FO, than as a "Core FO" & more chance to retain your Command, rather than being dumped back in the RHS on a seasonal basis. . . . go figure.

I sent my application yesterday evening and received a positive answer within 24hrs. The next step for me is to complete the online assessment.
I'm not rated with close to 3000 hrs on Multi Pilot Aircraft (EFIS Turboprop).
Greetings

Thanks for that. The reason for the question was that my experience in the past with some operators has been that of 'employed as an FO, always an FO', with less chance of promotion due to the uncertain/fixed term of the contract.

Different this time around, you are "cheaper", so therefore automatically "more qualified" 
This Autumn the future relationship between NAS (or its offshoots) & the Norwegian pilots Union is rumoured to be reminiscent of Gaza, but just a little more nasty.
Yet another Winter of discontent, 3rd since I joined in March 2012 ( & it wasn't such a nice Spring that year . . . more like the "Arab Spring" at that stage)
Following up from the Cabin Crew debacle a few months ago, one wonders how much more damage NAS intends to inflict upon itself by unfavourable public reaction to bullying unethical "negotiating" tactics. . last time around was expensive, & not really sustainable in addition to subsidising Boeings development of the 787 maintenance programme.
