CAE announced recruiting for SAS based in CPH experienced first-officers.
After the 15 days strike and now pilots made an agreement, what can be expected ?

As per the new CBA between SAS and SPG , all new pilot positions with all the SAS airlines ( SK Scandinavian, SAS Connect, SAS Link ) must be filled by pilots that were let go during Covid19 ( around 450 pilots ) , so I won’t hold my breath unless you’re part of the laid off pilots from SAS.

Well until the terms of the new deal are known and its potential impact on the LHR base and SAS Connect, any talk of LHR recruitment is premature to say the least. From my understanding talking to LHR crews, both they and SASC crews in general have not been notified as of yet.

Nobody said there was LHR recruitment, simply that CAE can hire into LHR and do not have to draw from the SPG.
Issues with Brexit are severely testing this Dublin business model

I’ll ignore your first sentence.
It’s still premature to talk about what CAE can and can’t do in the current uncertainty. If the seniority lists do get merged and over 400 pilots rehired then I’m afraid all bets are off. CAE’s 5 year contract expires in the coming months as well!

Kendrick,
Well I can’t pretend to have sight of any agreement. Maybe you have contacts in management or training. However I have two friends there and neither have seen the agreement yet. I’ve also heard that any potential LHR upgrades are dependent on agreement between SPG and SAS which on the face of it looks like a tall order.

The agreement is readily available in a few places

I believe the LHR base is limited to 100 FTE (full time equivalents) positions. One pilot leave, one can be hired. I am guessing a little, but don’t believe they will fall under the SPG owned CBA.

Then sim in A320 full flight. Bit of raw data flying and airwork. All straight forward and fair.

Yes. Went there. Classic interview with „classic questions“ first. (Stuff like your strength, weaknesses, whats a good captain, whats a bad one, difference between CPT and FO…)

Any techincal questions during the interview? And is it correct that there is no computer based quizes?
Also, can you please share a bit more about what you did in the sim and how long it took?
Thanks iin advance!

Sim was about 30 mins. Raw data departure straight ahead 5000ft. That a few instructions like turn left heading xxx, descent 4000ft, further left heading xxx and reduce speed 230kts, climb 1000ft/min up to 5000ft, steep turn left/right with 45deg bank.
Then a raw data procedural VOR-DME Approach, followed by a go around and a raw data ILS to land. Then swap seats and be PM for the same thing.
Pretty fair and straight forward.

I was asked more a szenario based question with a tyre burst on takeoff in the interview. And if i remember correctly the initial actions for an emergency descent. But thats just been a very short part.

All this is very valuable! Thanks again!
