Evidence (and legal issues) suggest, all things being equal, that you'll be okay.

Norwegian B737 Pilot selection (Updated)

Similar (???) age bracket, not an insane amount of hrs but a decent experience, NTR. Got the invitation for the assessment which I duly completed. So far no ageism, good news. Whether they will take me onboard, provided I passed, that's another story.

Anyone know what the starting salary is for Norwegian?

From PPJN the converted figures are from £31232 FO base to £68264 FO top.
Not sure from this what the additional flying pay etc is as it's not clear on PPJN.

Does everyone start from the bottom scale? Or is there a factored hours deal like EZY where you can go in as an SFO?

Just look at the contractor figures on both base and additional! Rumour is though that they are decreasing the salary by 800e/month for the new contracts.

Ah, makes sense. Didn't realise you're being recruited as a contractor.

Longer than your contract . . . . well, I am half joking here, but, if so, that is actually good news

Don't want to be seen as a party pooper, but, with so many rated & experienced applicants out there (half of Ryanair for example) have any of you given some thought as to why, exactly, they may suddenly be inviting every man & his dog for NTR ? have you been given any idea at all of the package on offer ? or are you just "hoping" it will be the same as the (rumoured to have been recently reduced by €800/month for new entrants ) package offered to rated applicants . . . . . . just sayin

Captplaystation,

I think you'll find that the pool of available DEC, rated on B737 has run almost dry, companies are scraping now from the bottom and are even offering upgrades for DEFO. Maybe not necessarily at NOrwegian, but recruiting b737captains is getting VERY difficult.

Despegue,

I hope it is so, but I can see that some airlines have been advertising for dec 737 captains with very low t&cs forever and they dont seem to have any intention of changing that.

Other than those in China, it doesnt look to me that airlines are increasing their offer to attract the dec 737 capts in the market.

I really hope to be wrong as this will be good for all of us. In any case, all the best to all of you.

despegue,
I hope you are correct,it would be (with somewhat tense negotiations coming up soon in NAS ) helpful to us, but. . . . this discussion was about NTR FO's

and rated 737 FO's with experience are still plentiful (especially if Ryanair continue to alienate them just as they approach "Command ready". )
