Co pilots as well?

captplaystation 23rd May 2014 16:09

Pretty decent T's & C's for PIC, seems they are serious this time around. . . . no mention of Russian language requirement, for sure it will be desirable, but doesn't seem to be an entry requirement.

Pin Head 24th May 2014 10:57

First officers?

A340rider 24th May 2014 12:22

Contrary to some posts on here it appears they are recruiting non Russian FO's

FO is abbreviation for FIRST OFFICER - Its the same as a Co-Pilot :ugh:

Pin Head 24th May 2014 18:58

So that yes then. They are looking for RHS guys?

Widebdy 24th May 2014 19:26

Anyone else expecting better money :confused:

skyrambler 25th May 2014 10:44

No need for FO, Captains only

A340driver,
Thanks for pointing out, I think we all Ppruners here are aware about that..

I read a lot of requirements of pilots, especially in China, asking for a generic "pilots" but referring to PIC only... I think that's a case..

niss 25th May 2014 15:06

The law for foreign pilots Are in force after 90days of signing.

A340rider 25th May 2014 15:43

Not all ppruners, Pin Head obviously wasn't, read his posts before posting.

I am glad you lot are my competition for interviews!

mototopo 25th May 2014 21:01

Yes I read it and I also read the link of the Aeroflot Website, no mention of FOs but only "pilot".. Hence, PIC..

Anyway, not meaning to offend anybody.

Some inside info.

Only Captains.
10k Euro is a maximum salary, you can get it, if you make 90 block hours in 20 days and use 10 days of annual leave. Your annual leave pay is based on average salary during last 6 month.
The average leg time on A320 is 2.15-2.20. Local guys doing 6 on 1 off for 90 hours and 5-2 for 80 hours.
A lot of night flying (50-70%).
The max duty is 12 hours for day, and 11 for night.
If you start the duty at 8.59PM and go back by 7 AM next day, it will count as a day duty.

All docs are in English, no problem at all.
Interview and check ride with a deputy A320 fleet.

Thanks Kosh
do u have any idea of the B737?
It seems that the LCC pays better for that amount of flying!

kosh 27th May 2014 22:56

737 legs are a longer, DXB and BCN as well as Russian eastern Siberia arpts are now on 737 instead of 320. But again you have to fly max to get well paid.

Any "Wide Body" flying for expats in the horizon?

9.G 28th May 2014 07:34

@ Dom, been told that WB fleets are all set. SU seems to be short on 320 and 737 fleets. Some of the agencies trying to recruit expats, for the gig without having a clear cut deal on the table. Funny nuff, they're saying that the T&C will be discussed at the interview individually. Huh??? So far no agency has been able to shed any light on, what's the deal exactly. Is it a contract or employment? Limited or permanent? Commuting or not? How many days off in a row. Taxes? Accomodation? Transportation? Moscow is a very expensive city and very jammed with traffic. I understand SU has concessions regarding traveling benefits on its own network yet without commutable roster it's of limited use. It's just the beginning, so they'll have to learn to deal with the expats. :ok:

Pin Head 28th May 2014 12:07

But are they taking co pilots?

TheColonel 28th May 2014 16:18

No, capt only.

7Q Off 28th May 2014 17:00

Any Housing allowance or apartment provided?

kosh 29th May 2014 01:02

They have an apartment building for the staff. It's far from the city. Shuttles to the airport and back are every 30 minutes during a day and 1 hour during the night.
Is's very cheap (like 200-300 euro/month) but airline will deduct this amount from the salary.
