It is many years since I worked there, but FOs you start roughly on 364.000 DKK a year. I got no clue about Oslo, but will be similiar just in NOK.

Thank you. No one has any information about the assessment it self ?

Got info from a friend, It's still the same, 364000 and add around 10% on top for every year.

Hi there,

I have schedule a FO intervew for dec does anyone have update feed back for the assesment ?

[Cargofirst]

Hi,

I did the assesment recently, they will send a briefing package a few days before which will mostly cover the sim part. Expect loss of engine after v1, then manual one engine ils approaches with and without flight director. Also some failures during climb to check how you deal with control and communication handover, checklist reading, I think these are required skills elsewhere too and they are not trying to overwhelm you, just stay relaxed and safe.
The interview was very nice, with two captains from the company, they were asking questions about my personality, how do I resolve problems and conflicts, and to share some examples. I hope it helped. Good luck!

Which bases are they giving? Any chance for Oslo or any Norwegian bases?

seems like they don't ask for any system theory for FO's is this correct??
what is the group exercise within Norwegian?

I was there a couple of weeks ago, currently only Riga and Spanish bases (PMI, BCN, ALC, AGP)

[BaronBlod]

Has anyone actually passed the DEC assessment recently and gotten a start date?

[jadrolinija]

How are the chances to get BCN base? Is it permanent or just seasonal base?

Hi, do you have any info about Malaga base availability for DECs? Or Alicante ?

[BaronBlod]

From what I understand Malaga is not available. I think only Palma and maybe Alicante

[jadrolinija]

Any info about expected Net earnings for Spanish based CPTs?

Some of my friends, cabin crew, just got hired for the flight deck shortly after finishing the atpl, they were told at the interview that they should chose Málaga, Alicante or Riga. But actually one got Bergen and the other Helsinki.

Hi all,

I passed the DEC screening and have been told that I’ve been put in the talent pool. They said Riga would be on the table but I’m not interested in going East. Much prefer to wait until the South (Spain) opens up again.
Are there others here that are in the same boat? And has anybody an idea if there’s going to be growth in Spain in the foreseeable future?

Thanks and have a good weekend

[dosixks]

I had similar case. Once I had an interview they said I will definetely be based in Riga and I was completely fine with it. but when I received contract it was Helsinki already.

Btw maybe someone knows anything about base bidding in Norwegian? what has to be done and is it even possible for new pilots? Have heard that it depends on seniority and also preffered base?! and at the end of the day- maybe it's possible to swap base with someone who agrees?
