If Norwegian Long Haul were to liquidate, for whatever reason, would those pilots having offered a bank guarentee to the company be better off than those who had simply deposited their 20-40000€ into the company's bank account?

One can therefore assume if you go as a Cruise Relief Captain, ( Read FO) then you could expect to wait until 2000 hrs for the upgrade AKA Qatar system. They seem to know there are many many NG Skippers out there chomping at the bit to get LHS and are clearly focusing on these people to fill the seats, in the meantime taking DECs from the pits..

I think 1000 hrs wide body is for internal promotion from RCA to CPT.
I.e you have to do a little longer to be considered.
RE gypsys question.
Roster is released exactly 14 days prior to the next month. They have taken account our preferences as some want back to back trips with slightly longer days off and some want shorter.
Leave was an issue, but with the upgrading to the rostering team, I've had no problems booking it recently.
Disruption, tends to only occur with tech issues. Don't normally get a change - standard month is 8 sectors.

1,000hrs wide body is for direct entry captains.
I think it's 500hrs minimum for a upgrade from RCA to Captain, but it is seniority based, so if you do join as an RCA best not to expect an upgrade after 500hrs like its a God given right.
Time to command for RCA and first officer in Norwegian long haul will properly be quicker then most wide body carriers out there.
Learn the job and the aircraft make the most of flying the 787 and settle into the airline and see if it's for you and for the long run.

Fade to grey. 8 sectors doesn't sound bad. Is there a lot of deadheading? There's a lot of vague talk on here, rosters rubbish, rosters ok but despite requests still no examples of what a roster actually looks like. Post it on here in typing format if needs be. With a job that offered minimal to nothing in the way of extras such as healthcare, benefits, pension, the roster and pay are about all that's left to form a picture. The pay has been covered but not the example of what you actually are doing on the line. Thanks.

Guys asking me via PM about roster.
I can't give you a typical roster, because it's infinitely variable.
This month I've had between 2-4 days off between trips, 4 trips of between 3-4 days duration.
Next month, more days off. I have averaged between 8-13 a month.

Burnable, give the guy a break! he's already said its not precise, but by my maths it adds up to a round 29 days, how many days are there in your months! Maybe "rest" or " "blank" or "STBY" account for the other 2 days

NLH pilots have free tickets to/from home base with NAS (but not vice-versa as of yet) so commuting to any destination served frequently from LGW by NAS should be both possible & free of charge.
If not, I believe Easy have "a few" destinations from LGW.

Thanks avenger,
Yes, remember even if gatwick based a variable amount of those trips will start from
Scandinavia thus a four day trip becomes a five day trip for someone in the UK as you have to position the day before of course.
Simply put, imagine a worst month with 8 days off and the rest work or standby or open days.
Imagine a great month with 13 days off, a couple of trips and some standby..
There's your end markers.
The thing about nax 737 skippers given priority as RCas , I'm not sure that's relevant - not many have come as they are giving up a. Command and remember , with all these things, there is no guarantee of subsequent promotion, and the internal upgrade selection is quite a long process now it appears.

Speculatiog about lifestyles, pay, time off is pointless if you dont even make it to the initial interview stage.
Apparently the plan to conduct interviews in July/ August has been scrapped.
Could it be the failure of NLH to order any new airframes at Paris last week?
