I emailed then got a link for a form to complete. Any clues about the selection process?

Relaxed interview with a couple of recruitment pilots. Mainly just a chat with some minor technical stuff. That’s it, no sim.
First officer starting salary is £81900 rising to £85800 once the 4th aircraft begins flying (imminent). Plus per diems, pension, LOL, medical etc.

The China routes are very efficient hours wise. It’s a 3 day trip for 25 hours flying. You can only average 3 a month, maximum 4. So a busy month is 9-12 days away. That could change when the US and other routes start as more aircraft come online.
The contract is for 144 days off a year so should average out at 12 days a month. At present that isn’t quite being achieved, with reserve being used for flexibility due to a shortage in numbers, but this should ease in the next few months with continual recruitment.

the operation currently has 1 contract to China, with 1 operational aircraft ( 2 -1 AOG?), is that correct? How long after gaining employment are contracts offered?

Hi All,
Does anyone know if the recruitment process has been changed as at all to include a sim?
Any information on the interview and sim process is helpful.
Thanks in advance
Good luck!

Hi all,
Anyone had a call as a potential NTR FO? I was surprised that they dropped the Airbus TR requirement and chucked an application in plus filled the forms out they sent me but curious if they would realistically be looking at anyone without Airbus experience.
Cheers

Can you commute ? Of course you can as it is all long haul. The furthest commuter I believe is from Dubai
Is there a sim assessment ? Yep, a 30 min wiz around in a 320 at LGW and all standard stuff
I believe that the 4th aircraft just arrived back from heavy maintenance in JNB. The plan is still to have 7 flying by next summer, and recruitment very much ongoing.
People joining from a variety of backgrounds. EZY/VS/SAA/EK/RAF seem to be fertile recruitment grounds, but definitely a very mixed variety of back grounds.

Most people do commute, trips are 3-5 days long with an average of 12 days off a month. At the moment there is very little standby and the company owns its own hotel that is available pre and post duty at a very reasonable rate.
