Olympic
 

Hi all.
Any news about the new recruitment which Olympic has just started?
Anybody called for selection? what about T&c?

Hi Giggey,

After the new airline was not able or willing to employ enough of the present
Olympic Airlines pilots, and with the starting date for their operations approaching soon, now they are looking for pilots from the EU.
There is a job ad in the Flight edition of Aug 4th. All positions advertised for type-rated pilots with some experience on type.

Obviously they are already aware of the tax privilege for pilots being cancelled soon, so fair enough, they talk about a Low tax rate (current), meaning you might end up with considerably less to take home after the tax reform.

What I have heard so far about the contract offered, did not seem attractive to me, however go and judge for yourself.

For some it might be an opportunity, since a lot less than expected pilots from Olympic Airlines opted to join the new outfit. They are rather looking
to transfer to the HCAA, keeping a permanent position in the public sector.

All the best to the new company, and the fellow pilots who join them.

Hi fellows!!

Any more information about salary&roster?

Information about the recruting process is more than welcome :ok:

Thankx mate!!

Looks to me not many people is eager to join with those conditions...

Any updates are appreciated,

Happy Landings!!

How many ATRs have they got? Their new website is still under construction.

I was eager but there has been no response to my application at all!

(Ex) Dinosaurs perhaps don't react that quickly, maybe they will be as rapid and responsive as their "good friends" :ooh: in Turkish Airlines, who 8mths later don't seem to have recruited (or in most cases not even notified) the largest percentage of the candidates who managed to force their foot in the door to get an interview.
Nice folk, but a bit of an HR disaster zone as a company. :ugh: can't see OlympicLight being too different.

The conditions above don't seem attractive at all. Not only that but they seem sketchy, and set up to be able to screw and take advantage of you at will, leaving you with no leg to stand on.

Welcome to the aviation indusrty today in Europe... More and more like the US each day!

Does anybody know what salary can one expect to take home with the 'new' airline, all-in? Capt and f/o figures will be appreciated.


Thank you very much.

they already have people transfering from Olympic Airways to the new Olympic Air, plus cadets under training in Kavala.

Olympic Air will be massively downsized compared to Olympic Airways, so don't hold your breath as many current employees must be very happy to have an opportuinty to keep a flying job on their door step...

5 RINGS,
I think I know where you are coming from.
Force the incumbents to reapply for their old jobs on vastly reduced conditions, and, if not enough take up the offer , then, and only then, offer places to the outsiders,
I doubt if that is too far off the truth, it probably depends how many don't have several wives behind them and can afford to retire. :hmm:

Thank you very much, info was very helpful. Do you know the figures for Captains?.

Any idea on what to expect from the interview?

Again, thank you very much for your help.

737N1 TOGA - thanks for posting the figures. I assume they relate to positions on the Airbus. Any idea about FO pay on the ATR42/72 and Dash 8? Olympic is apparently trying to fill positions on the TP fleet too. It would be interesting to know how much they offer.

Cheers :cool:

Are they accepting ICAO ATPL???
Tks!

The package they offer is very good. I am moving to greece next week. :ok:

Please can anyone PM with details as to what they offer for FOs?

Thanks

Why not making it public...:ok:

ATRISGREAT,

Have you passed their selection ? If so, would you mind giving some details about the following :


Selection process

Offered package

Roster pattern

And was that organised through an agency or did you deal directly with the Company

Are you a Capt or an FO, and what actual level of experience do they need for respective positions ?

Any info very much appreciated:p

Many thanx before hand

Some of you may be wondering why, with the threat of imminent redundancy, the current crews at Olympic are not stampeding to join the 'new' Olympic. I have no interest in joining the 'new' company, but was flying recently with one of our pilots who was an FO at the 'old' Olympic for many years. He is a Greek from Athens and says that the new airline is deliberately employing foreign crews to break up the union hold on the company. Very few crews from the 'old' Olympic are applying because under Greek Law, they will get re-employed somewhere in the Greek state system at their old rates of pay, even if it is not in a flying positon. Therefore, if you are a senior A340 Training Captain and presumably earning a lot of money, there would be no incentive whatsoever to go to a cheap and tacky 'new' Olympic and work for loads less. Sounds like a pretty grim deal to me, but I fully understand the need in the current difficult climate.

Olympic pay for Dash 8 100/400 Captains??
 

I was wondering what the pay will be for the Dash 8 100/400 commanders... I am scheduled to go to Athens for an interview shortly:E and I need some more info... anybody got the details??
Thanks in advance mates!:ok:
