Cadet works out at under £14,500 per year! That is just above the UK Minimum Wage and then you have to pay half your training costs back over 2 years!
Do they supply a tent to live in as well!
And to think 20-30 years ago, being a commercial pilot was a highly revered profession!
Good luck ATRISGREAT.

The race to the bottom, led by bright eyed 20 years olds who just can't wait to fly a shiny jet, continues.
goodluck in this industry. In 5 years or so, it will be worse.

Do people actually get employed anymore on experience, character etc. Buying a job is pretty lame if you ask me. Yes, I know it's tough but to the paying passenger do we really have the right person up the front?

VOLOTEA
Hi all
I saw an advert on the internet today regarding FO recruitment at VOLOTEA (Capt also if applicable to you). The following is taken from their website....
A320 Senior First Officers
Description:
We are looking for experienced A320 First Officers for our new fleet.
We offer:
NTE Base, direct permanent contract (6 month probation period), competitive salary (increased every 2 years subject to performance) and possibility to change base in the future. We also offer the possibility of fast track command.
Capabilities:
- Valid EASA FCL ATPL and unrestricted Class 1 Medical.
- Minimum 3000 hours Total Flight Time
- Minimum 1000 hours on type
- Last flight on type within the last 6 months, at time of application
- No history of accident/incident
- English language fluency - minimum ICAO level 5
- Valid EU Passport
Offer:
Join one of the few European airlines with continuous growth since its foundation in 2012. A company with a strong and solid structure and financing. If your aspiration is to fly a modern glass cockpit airplane in a high standard European based airline, we are offering you the opportunity to develop your professional career in a young and dynamic environment. Possibilities of promotion to a management, instructor or examiner role, based on merit and performance. Stability and quality of life: flights from base and returning to base with an average of 14 to 16 days of flying per month; possibility of commuting home: blocks of days working followed by blocks of days OFF. Different types of contracts depending on your base and length of contract. Loyalty sign-in bonus after more than two contracts. Currently bases in Venice, Nantes, Bordeaux, Palermo, Strasbourg, Verona and Asturias; more bases will be opened in the future in France, Italy, Spain and potentially other EU markets in the mid-term.
Anybody with some info on what the place is like to work for and pay? The min hour reqs seem a bit high unless it's a 'super' package!
Cheers

Didnt know it was for Volotea. The ad in familiar aviation magazine which must remain nameless, didnt specify which airline it was for. However it did say that initial posts were for 737 with conversion to A320 at a later date.
Joke!

You say it's for B717 initially? 'Apparently' there are multiple vacancies with multiple bases - for 717, 320, Capt/FO... the advert I was asking about was for A320. Here is the link to their website I viewed...
http://www.volotea.com/en/recruiting/pilots/
If the advert for 320 pilots was true... surely you wouldn't have to pay for anything if you were already Type Rated. Anyway plenty of other places to consider if the place/pay etc is that bad.
Thanks

What will happen with their current B717 pilots? Will they have to pay for an A320 rating due to fleet renewal eventually? My guess is that if the company gets new A319/320s, then Airbus Industries should normally train the pilots at no cost , it is normally the deal between aircraft manufaturers and airline companies.

I watched a coverage on youtube about really pissed off passengers stuck in Ajaccio because the flight was cancelled due to a red nav light not working...I know it is a no go MEL item but any happy captain willing to help and give a good image to the company would not ground an aircraft out of base for that
