Hello my friends.
I would like to ask if Air Baltic is helping with the visa for the ICAO pilots. Does anyone know if they provide tickets from and to Africa? I will apply for DEC ICAO pilots category for Air Baltic. I am A220 Captain with Air Tanzania.
Thank you for your help my dear friends

Thank you. In Air Baltic recruitment page is stated that ICAO pilots can apply. I will send an email when I am sure that I want to come, I will need a formal invitation for the visa. Do you know when will they do the IPO?

Its not even a real airline but a cover-up for a shady money laundering scheme that sucked on Latvian tit for so long we feel scammed. They are spending funds for crappy jets that are inherently unprofitable and unreliable and sometimes I even think they do it on purpose to steal more money from Latvia.
Riga is not the tourist magnet it used to be, who in good mind will buy beer for 6 euro when it used to be 50 cents in 2010?

IPO supposed to take place this October and it is almost November now. They will operate normally until they run out of money, that's the classic Soviet plan

Although nothing is confirmed yet, Lufthansa seems to be stepping in very soon: https://simpleflying.com/lufthansa-n...ake-airbaltic/
Also there have been quite a few improvements recently, like 2x 4 consecutive days off per month, a new payment scheme increasing average pay slightly new bases in TLL and VNO.

If the conditions were nice, AB wouldn't have to open to ICAO pilots. The only EASA companies that accept ICAO pilots are the ones in the Baltics. What's going on there?
Sorry to say, but these companies who are fishing pilots from third countries, better go out off business cause of bankruptcy rather cause of an accident

The article says that this information comes from anonymous sources in the Baltics. Sounds like they are trying to spread information to convince people to buy some shares in the IPO. Why Lufthansa to invest in a company with more than half a billion on debt and current losses? They will go immediately bankrupt if creditors will demand it, or if European Commission decides that they shouldn't have taken state money, like Malev case. Many other articles are circulating for years that Lufthansa is buying TAP and Air Europa. Lufthansa is buying healthy competitors like ita and not companies with debts many times their value.

They ain't fooling anyone, Latvians consider wiser to invest their money in the casino, rather in the IPO. The second half will have larger losses than the first one, last months were full of long delays and cancelations. Mostly due to A220 engine issues and Carpatair Fokkers that AB leased
AB joined the rest of the Balticcircuses airlines who hire ICAO pilots for some years now. I am afraid that this trend might expand to other EU companies thanks to EASA and local authorities. There are a lot of operators out there who prefer to have cheap labor who doesn't complain for the poor conditions. Airplanes these days fly themselves, why to pay a spoiled European and give him days off?

Numbers that XMW6 shared is corresponding to the correct numbers. Gross and net is different. I have only for FOs. This is guaranteed basic pay. You will get net amount to your bank account since it is local contract.
FO1 4100 gross (2815 net)
FO2 4500 gross (3085 net)
FO3 4900 gross (3370 net)

You don't have to pay for the training but you have a 3 years, 36000 bond
Fast track. For some pilots yes, for some not. Recently we had a lot of Fins who left after a year or so because they didn't get the fast track, neither the advertised base in Tampere which remained only on papers, like many other things
Are you really from Brazil? I would strongly advice you to check the financial situation of the company before making all these expenses to come over here

It’s not easy like you said Zen…
For a foreign pilot that what’s to fly in EU, there are a couple airlines that hire. Nowadays we can see Ryan with Uk bases.
On the other hand, are some pilots ( talking to Brazilians), that also have EU passport and get EASA ATPL too. The chances are the same cause they have EU citizenship,like you.

Thank you Captain Patituri
i was considering this fast track, but as I can see and all the research I did, the best way is continuing in y airline. I’m Brazilian but not flying in Brazil, and I’m hugely considering moving from where I’m based.
thank you for your feedback.

ZEN Krempie,
I'm sure you don't have any ZEN attitude or exemplary behaviour
with your racist statements, you need to change the job if you are a pilot of course. Aviation is for open-minded people.
The administrator must close your account and your M****.

A bit of banter is fine for any forum but your post is full of hate, especially when you call to shut down voices you don't agree with

I apologize, but your discussion focuses only on money foreigners, non-EU. What about the FAA? Do you believe you fly aircraft while Brazilians and those from Botswana fly the piano? At the very least, try not to blame any nationality. It's important to be open-minded—it's as simple as that for me.

Does anyone have more background info? Unfortunately the article is in German, but when you put it through a translator it seems Swiss authorities are investigating whether AirBaltic is disregarding Switzerland's minimum salary rules for cross-border deployment of employees and that Swiss authorities are investigating. Apparently these laws say that as a cross-border deployed employee, you have to get a "usual" salary for the job you do according Swiss salary standards.
That sounds like it could become expensive for AirBaltic.
