Recruitment is open... Please apply to this great company!
|
300 hours shy of the requirement... Feels so bad to be missing out on this.
I hope they reopen for the airbus next year. |

Has anyone heard any rumours about how many pilots VS are actually looking to recruit over the next 12-18 months? 🤔 an educated guess will do.
|
40 or so apparently. |
Cheers Rex. |
6 months rule
Does anybody know the basis of having to have flown the aircraft within the previous 6 months?
Wouldn't this be a bit irrelevant as the initial VA training would get the applicant current again? |
CAA thing I think. Seems a common rule. They would probably be required to give more sectors to someone who hasn’t operated a large aircraft in the last 6 months? |

Friend of mine 4 years seniority has been refused Part Time working, nearly top of request list. Company won't divulge the list, present part timers OK, but no new ones for foreseeable future? Seems a good way to alienate your workforce. |

What's stopping me hopping in the sim of my old Airbus type, doing an OPC? Not sure if this would satisfy their "flying" in the last 6 months rule . |

Surely when they get to the top of the list, they'll get the next part time position??

To be honest the 340 will be a decent fleet when the 350 arrives! I'm flying MFF and average about 3/4 trips per month.
Once the 350 is here people will most probably be single fleeted on the the 340 until it dies out, heard a rumour they will keep a couple to do the charters! So interesting flying! |
What are the opportunities for moving between fleets? |

Will the 40 include any Boeing rated people? I’m interested in the MAN base, any chance of recruitment directly into that base? Thank you for any info.
Thx |
I applied during the Boeing rated campaign in Oct, haven’t heard anything yet. Any info would be greatly appreciated. |
For those that have asked the chances of going straight to MAN are slim to zero. Everybody joins at LHR and on day one you put your name on the waiting list. The base is full of F/O’s so dead mans shoes. With the 330 operation scaled back from MAN for the winter, most crews are back at LHR but most will get back for the summer. |
And PS part time is not being discontinued. However with the entry of the 350 this year there is a requirement that to go on it early you need to be full time for a year, and then limited to 85% thereafter to fly both the 330/350. Naturally there are many on 75% who have politely declined to go to the new shiny jet ! |
