Helvetic Airways

hello,

Can someone give a update about the above mentioned company? Are they hiring? Current requirements? Looks like a nice company to work for. And perhaps age restrictions?

Hi,
I've heard that they are going to receive A319 and they need some new pilots.
Yesterday I received a rejection letter from them (TT 500h, EU citizen, non-rated on A319 and F100) although they want pilots with <500h MPA. But as we see there is a mistake and they want >500h

ok, got also a rejection letter last week but never knew if they were recruiting or whats so ever.

(i'm also eu 'member' , not rated and >2000h mpa)

guess they want rated only.

Same letter. 2500 hrs TT and 1500 MPA with ATPL and 320 type rated without hours on type. I supose they want people with 500 hours on type. At least they have answered, good point.

They only invite swiss nationals right now . Swiss friend of mine got invited with 300h TT, 0 MPA.

Can not understand this. Is it so difficult to put in requirements Swiss Citizens? We would save the time of filling a long application.

What is the plan with Helvetic? More A319s expected to replace the aging FK100s? Are newhires going to the FK100?

At the end of the application when you have to upload a cover letter they require this to be written in German---
Do you guys know German language?

being invited, doesn't mean you got the job...
