olympic
did anbody else get any response on the interviews they did directly with Olympic? And what about Parc? did any body got hired via them?
With the info I got from someone within Olympic, I would not be surprised to hear what is posted above. Would be sad though, if this is the way we get treated... |
I`m really sorry guys! I applied to Olympic after the first ad and was qualified 737NG AND A320! Never got a reply. All I can say is that after almost 40 years in the job almost nothing surprises me. Why do we do it? .................. Because we are gifted with something that not everyone has. Will we keep doing it in spite of the hardships / growing lack of respect / declining T&Cs? ....................... Yes! ...................See above! Do they deserve us? .....................No!...............See above! Can they succeed without us?.....................No! Ultimately you and I do it for ourselves............ our own standards......... our own belief in ourselves............ and the passion ............see above! I dont know how your Latin is but............ "Nil Illigitimi Carburundum!" Translations welcome!!! |
@hawkerpilot
the same "procedure" they used in AerLingus, I guess 2 years ago or so, for the BFS base :yuk: to be honest: the ticket was for free! |
Couldn't more agree with you hawkerpilot ! Got the rejection email yesterday and so did a couple of guys i met on "interview"
It always amazes me how employers expect the highest level of professionalism from their pilots but they behave the lowest possible way at the same time... Won't approach this outfit again...vhat a disgrace...even wish them bad:E:E |
It is all political here, new elections, delay in PSO routes, "new Olympic" be doing old Olympic PSO routes, management working as consultants in other airlines as well, under table deals, so nothing is being new in Greece. But I do know that Olympic MIG are being told to resist contract pilots from Agencies that earn much more than local pilots. We think they should use contract peoples until all crews trained, then bye bye. Not enough crews to operate all routes yet! Big pressure on old Olympic pilots to accept reduced conditions or look at perhaps no work..Government has open to rationalise new Olympic MIG, so this may change things..But..nice planes now..

Makes me wonder if anybody who did go to the Olympic Interview actually got hired? Or did everybody get the same message?
Next question that comes up is: If this has been the policy from Olympic from the beginning, what can eg legaly be done against that? I mean, expectations are being raised by advertising in Flight, that is a possible chance of a job.You expect a fair process.You spend eg 700 euro on tickets, hotel and a new suit...If then from the beginning they had no intention to hire anybody, but use it as a political means of pressure against the old workforce, then surely this is deception. You promise something you know you cannot deliver. You sell a tv you know that does not work... Surely someone with more legal knowledge than me should be able to explain that.... And than perhaps people can join to get a stronger case against Olympic, not to get that job, because as said above, you don't want to work for such a company, but to make a point that treating higly qualified, professional pilots like trash and deliberately waste their time and spend their precious money for those who are un-employed and looking for a job....should not be accepted, nor be allowed to happen again!!! |
I think it is called Caveat emptor!
|
Forget the Greeks!! Look at the Turks instead, they need a bunch of 737NG and A320/321 riders!
|
Something about "Beware of Greeks bearing gifts?"
|
quickturnaround
please see my post in the Turkish Airlines thread, and do a search for the one that was on here 6 mths ago. Same crap different colour, no jobs have been given here either, and pilots appear to be getting used as pawns in a political chess game. They may be the best of enemies, but they are both behaving the same. |
Gentlemen,
Refrain from generalizing. Subject is Olympic, not Greece. Olympic management, not Greeks. Aegean Airlines employs 50+ (almost 20%) non Greek contract pilots with far better T&Cs than for the Greek pilots. So would you be so kind... |
Aristoclis
Fair point.........
|
So what is happening with the original Olympic Airways? What will happen to the 737 fleet and the A340s? Cheers.
|
Did anyone who went for an interview with Olympic get a contract?
|
yes!!!!!:):)
|

Parc are supplying Monarch Crews on an agreement until Olympic Air can get their own people, is costing a lot we think
