:E500 UKP a month plus a Hershey bar

Spoke to the agency today - FO 1000hrs HAS TO BE on B737CL EFIS. They will not accept NG hours........do they not understand it is the same aeroplane. Small minded or what? (I have 900 CL and 1200NG so not in the running)

Based on what they were paying Capts, I am surprised they can be so choosy for FO's, guess that says how many of you guys are on the market.

What was on offer for captains?

Sorry, missed your Q. For Capt. . . . .

293€/day , min 12 days paid in Apr/May whether you work them or not, till end of contract thereafter, they were forecasting 22 on 7 off & two days to travel, they tried to suggest you would earn 293x22 till I pointed out that "normally" you couldn't work 22 days consecutively :hmm: so, I guess 18x293. There was some other little add-ons like holiday pay, so a (small) golden handshake & there was 350€ allowance for travel home each mth. Hotac provided, base they don't say, but googling Carpatairs plans it appears to be Chisinau, starting services there on 26/03.
Not the worst, but not far off.

My Romanian girlfriend tells me Moldova is entirely populated by Whores & Alcoholics. . . so there are at least some compensations :D

Thanks CaptPS. You are correct - it is not as bad as some (Small Planet springs to mind!) alas there has been no response to me ...

Yep, SPA is not a substitute for a lottery win :hmm:

The lack of response is puzzling, I applied twice ( by different methods) when they advertised directly ( with 13000hr+ on type) & heard nothing. When AeroPro advertised I eventually managed to find out who it was, & that courtesy of my previous application I couldn't apply through them (wasn't too heartbroken) so, I have this niggling doubt whether it will actually happen, or will it be the usual Fri a-noon call to start on Mon morning ?

I have still heard nothing from SPA FO 737,however I did manage to get in touch with the recruiter and she said to call back end of march for FO's as they are "currently focusing on captains only" ............?:ugh:

With the greatest of respect that is :mad:. They had a course of new FO's start on Monday, & appear to be having difficulty recruiting Capt's (the €4000 salary possibly doesn't help) The problem is that they prefer to take a rated but zero-hour on type guy on one of their 5 yr (maybe) P2F contracts. You can read about it on another thread on training forum.

A new course started monday.....? Well I was told blatent lies then,I was told no FO recruitment for another 3 weeks to ring her back then gave her full name etc etc,thats really annoying,whats the point in lying,and if CPT is 4k I cant imagine what FO is is 4k the basic and perdiem sector on top of that

So why are you still applying for this position?????:ugh::ugh::ugh:

Because there is nothing else out there,and the majority of other contracts are 1500TT im about 300 short so to be honest I dont mind putting up with **** pay for about 6 months in order to,get something different only choice I have

Guys,

The course which started on Monday was for 2 type rated guys starting the 5 year contract with Aviationcv and they will be doing 500 hrs with SPA and there is 7 more guys due to start once they've completed their type rating with baa.


I hope this helps.

Yor 'aving a larf!

€4000 + hotel provided is it . . . . :rolleyes:

For FO's & the joys of the 5 year contract , it is all on the thread in the other forum, possibly titled Aviation C.V /Baltic Aviation Academy, but you will find it if you search under Small Planet Airlines.

So are they basically not taking on any rated experienced guys directly is everything this 5 year stuff through BAA or aviation CV.

AFAIK (or have seen) looks like Yes. Know quite a few experienced guys who applied (like you say found nothing else) none have made any progress beyond telephone promises.

To wannabes...know this one and all... tuition comes at a very high price.

This reminds me of a scene from the movie Porky’s… Great movie by the wayhttp://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/sr...ies/thumbs.gif.

A groups of high schoolers fro Angel Beach go a house of ill repute to experience their first assignation. Well they pay Porky a large sum of money…. Shown to a special door, to which they open with great anticipation, only to find themselves in a swamp.


Porky is up on the balcony with other patrons of his establishment laughing at the lads in the water who not only had their egos diminished, but less the sum of money they came with without the reward of receiving the anticipated services to be rendered.


To those expecting sympathy:= for getting hosed by the likes of these types of bottom feeders who prey on the innocent???http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/sr...lies/yeees.gif rent the movie Porky's. After watching the movie recommend it to any of your mates thinking about scams such as these.


Consider it as a nondeductible tax learning expensive.http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/sr...ies/boohoo.gif
