Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA - APPLICATION CONTRACT PILOTS



Good luck !

Thxs. Any mention of salary, terms and conditions.

Time to command (if any) for experienced non LHS guys?

News
 

Any news or recruitment lately? Or bases to be opened?

Thread has gone terribly quiet... :zzz:

Still ongoing, don't worry.

Had interview with them recently, offered a start date next year so they are working quite a bit ahead of the planned courses.

They're overwhelmed with expansion, recruitment, training etc. they need lots of pilots, both seats.... Be patient, and persevere... As my esteemed colleague Captplaystation said... it is definitely worth it!

:ok:

when next year...

;/
 

how recently? capt or fo position? thanks,

Few months ago for FO position.

I see, thanks! any info to share concerning interview? which base did they offer you?

Anyone have any info about the likely base for the September 23 course?

Thanks

I am contemplating applying to Norwegian....i need a bowl of fresh air.
How long is the selection?interview and sim or other?
Thanks:O

i called them a month ago, they had interview two days later for me, and start date get this, five later, for the dec position, that was a bit early for me. i'm currently waiting for a date between the 14 and 18th oct, i'll keep you posted...

Hi chrian,

Who did you call?:p

If your type rated and current on the CL/NG then an interview will likely follow, for basing the companies objective is to get people to where they want to be within 6-12 months within the confines of the base structure and core restrictions.

If i recall a further 8 738 due in 2014 and 4 or 5 still to come this year so an extra 12 or 13 aircraft, less any CL disposals

I have done over 12 months and they do what they say on the tin, money is very good, excellent training and a very positive passenger experience suggest they'll be around to stay.

You won't probably know your base until after 2nd week of starting and some do end up in core bases on short term contract (with additional cost of living money) to ensure correct mix of experience with so many new crew.

Thanks.
How much is it before tax?

LHS €9500 before tax (from a buddy who just started there)

It makes me wanna :{ but thanks for info.
The price for fresh air I guess...

it's 8884 euro plus 17 pr. block hour, so at 80 pretty much 10500, before tax. find a contact number online shouldn't be too hard.

You plan on flying 80 x 12 = 960 scheduled block hours per year then?

Maybe he's secretly factored in a few day off payments @ 700e a pop! :E

What is the effective tax rate that you pay on that Captains salary for someone based in Spain for examples. The figures quoted are €10,500 gross. SO back of a fag packet maths says thats €10.5K X 12 = €126K a year. What is the overall rate of tax on that sum? 20% 30% 40% ?

What is the average take home per month, net? about €6K?

According to a colleague that went there, (Spain ) around 7 to 7500 a month after taxes. No loss of licence or medical care, however, this can be arranged through the contract " agency"

ARPI provides a LOL,

i don't know who you work for, but i havent had less than two months off in the last ten :mad: years...

LGW
 

Could anyone shed any light on the contracts in place for Captains at LGW? How is the Parc contract taxed. Is there a lower tax on the flight pay or is it all taxed as full income? Also any info on the permanent contract for LGW would be much appreciated. Many thanks to all kind enough to contribute.

I would suggest that you call the contract agency as ppl on this website will have very little knowledge whether you have a chance or not.

You mean with less than the minimum requirements? (1500 total time, 737 rated,...)

Question
 

Can someone tell me what DY is?

Thanks

DY = IATA Code for Norwegian
NAX = ICAO code
All our flight numbers are DY....

Climb360
 

Well then I think you just answered your own question. It seems you do have a chance of getting in. Now you just have to find out how they did it :E

NORWEGIA CAPTAIN ASSESMENT
 

Anybody has any feedback how is the selection process in Norwegian for Direct entry captains?? thanx

:ugh:

Try reading/searching the damn thread...

Out of goodwill, try Page 6


:ugh:

hehe...I did two months ago and I thanked you already....now they called me for interview and I was looking for some more opinions.....I am new here and I don't really know how to use this web....:hmm:

The BLH payment for Captains is €17 how much you earn really depends on your base, but BLH for flying are only part of it, you also get 4 x BLH for each standby duty 4 x17 = €68 and 10 days is not unusual in say LPA where there are few flights, but very long duty days on say ARN or OSL and back and your BLH is from report.

When you start you are allocated an agency, but can change after one month to the agency of your choice from the 3 used.

There will be ongoing recruitment for the foreseeable future to feed fleet expansion (10 new 738 delivered so far this year with a further 4 due before year end) with more deliveries due in 2014.

It is worth visiting their investor relations website at lot of useful info on their, being a public company they are very transparent

@ John: I actually have the exact same feeling.

Hi there,
Do you have any ideas about screenings to NTR FO guys?
Is that "Extensive experience on similar types may be considered (MD80, A320 series etc.)" true? And, how much would be that "extensive"??

Thanks much:ok:

john_smith - that is about the only way Norwegian are going to make a sustainable profit, so it seems like a good ploy. I wait with interest to see if a single one of their Airbus slots are ever actually used.

I have flown with them three times. Very nice experience on all three occasions. Text message to confirm you are checked in, text message to let you know if they running behind schedule, well turned out crew, Free WiFi on board, and three less seats for extra leg room. And no "big sell" via the dreaded PA. Aircraft was full on all three occasions with 180 or so very content passengers.

They are the third biggest budget operator in Europe and are streets ahead of Easy and worlds away from Ryanair with regard to passenger experience IMHO.

Weather it's sustainable remains to be seen.
