Employment Opportunity
 
Storm Aviation are said to be looking for 767 pilots based in Milan.
A couple of colleagues, presently out in the Middle East might be interested, but know nothing about Storm as a contract employer. Anybody able to comment? Had any experience?
Apparently, offering 4700-6400 Euros per month FO/ Capt./ Max 90 Hrs per week.

Max 90hrs per week, are you sure ?

Do you know more about entry requirements?

Thank's,

Trappist you need not worry about Storm Aviation - I went for an interview at their HQ a few months ago (non flying job) which I turned down because I got a job much nearer home - my point is that they are a thoroughly proffessional bunch & you could go to a lot worse agency.

Please don't shoot the messenger but Rocket2's experiences don't match mine. Storm left several of my colleagues to fend for themselves with a, shall we say, rule-bending employer so I wouldn't be so quick to sing their praises. Their dealing with me personally (admittedly only telephone calls) were somewhat unimpressive too...

Yes! 90 hours per week is apparently what the flyer quoted!

Rocket2 2nd Dec 2003 17:12

No offence taken Spearing Bittaney, I should have said "appeared to be a professional outfit" - maybe it's just as well I never took the job, after all is was in the QA dept!

I've dealt with them (on the phone) several times this year as well as emailed them. They are located near LGW and sound OK. Just the terms and conditions of contract are probably not the best around. Might be better off with Direct Personnel or Parc Group - both DUB based. Just my observations.

90 hours a week! Is that legal?!! WARNING WARNING...

Sounds like a voice mail message an operator once left me..."we received your resume (CV) for a Cobra pilot position and like what you have to offer...."
The actual position applied for was a civilian C-130 freighter!! Now I know there is a gunship version of the C-130 but I don't think even that is called a "Cobra".
So, if facts are somwhat skewed or just plain don't sound right, what does that tell you? Buyer beware perhaps. On the other hand it could be a plain typo. Either way, if they can't even put out a grammatically correct ad, then they don't sound too professional to me.

The only other information apparently available:
4700-6400Euros per month (F/O, Capt?)
250hrs on type in last 5 years
3 star Hotac (a/c?, running water?)
Average 10 days leave(?) per month (days off?). (Averaged over how long?)

The Trappist 90hrs surely can't be legal? 55 is the max in the UK. I know this 767 opportunity is based in Milan but 90hrs is excessive.....
