Interesting some opinions here. In the US there is gouge after gouge after gouge all over various job search websites for the local major and legacy and regional carriers. Accessible to anyone so anyone. Seems pretty taboo here from what I see the idea of it. But if you pass selection and get accepted why wouldn't you help out some fellow pilots?

as a reply to some of you who have been calling the industry really
bad,i call it a BUSINESS people!
how about this as a small example:
a guy ive known for many years through highschool wanted to become an airline pilot.we enrolled in the same class in the same academy.he flunked out after the theory because he was having trouble with it.
he then went on to
another school,where things went better
and
he managed to get his license
after
2 atpl's and
about 140k lighter.
he just informed me,that after a year of jobhunting to no avail,hes starting in september with a company in italy (i think linetraining.net) a typerating + linetraining package for 68000 to probably get the hours with tunisair.
i wish him all the best,but on the other hand,i have difficulty accepting that this person will be sitting
at the controls of an airliner carrying hundreds of people every day,thanks to a simple payment.as if a doctor
who fails medschool could
pay a big check and still treat patients
like you and me?
i know this is off topic,but its also the gruesome reality of what the industry is doing nowadays,and certainly a motivation for me to join a quality employer lile easyjet so ill never ever have to do this like that
guy!
comments are obviously welcome! nice weekend
guys

Everyone will pay Ģ20k for their Type Rating on the Non type rated stream
Not true. Not everyone will pay.
Remember, here we are not talking about starry eyed kids fresh out of training with huge debts to service, whose mummy and daddies are mortgaged upto the hilt.
Fortunately those days are rapidly coming to an end thanks to all the credit crunching.
Those pilots who applied have served their time, most likely are already in gainful employment and have their CVs on lots of different desks already.
From an observers point of view Ģ20 000 seems a bit steep for a bus rating if correct sk8erboi, especially for experienced pilots with medium jet time. There are a lot of airbus sims in Europe not doing much just now.

I'm heading off to the big orange hangar this week. Some on my assesment day have been invited to select a day for a sim ride before they have attended the interview but not me. How many others received an email before their interview and if so when?

seems a bit odd that no more assessment days are available, and also some are being cancelled yet parc are advertising for A320 FOs?

Hmmmm, that is odd. For my part, when the assessment days started appearing I was on earlies and never found anything on the system in the afternoon once I'd got home and logged on. Once I transitioned to lates I would sit from 8am logged in and would refresh every few minutes until I had to leave for work around 12-1pm and never got a sniff.
Maybe the cynics were right?

Fliegenderflieger - As others have mentioned, do not hold your breath for a return to Europe any time soon.
B767PL - I am afraid I found your post incomprehensible, but quite interesting nonetheless! Can you tell me what you mean by 'gouge after gouge after gouge all over various job search websites for the local major and legacy and regional carriers. Accessible to anyone so anyone. Seems pretty taboo here from what I see the idea of it.' What are the 'gouges' to which you refer? What do you mean by 'accessible to anyone so anyone'? What it is that seem pretty taboo here?

"Gouge" is US slang (but also widely used elsewhere) for important information.
He's referring to the seeming secrecy surrounding the sharing of information on this site.
Obvs.
U.S. Navy Slang
In U.S. Navy jargon, gouge is the essential piece of information; the heart of the matter; or outstanding test-preparation material (such as an old test copy). A person who is tired of hearing all the extraneous information surrounding a problem might exclaim "Just give me the gouge!"
