According to the published announcement will be eligible individuals of both sexes, aged between 21 and 40 years of age (inclusive), enabled with a commercial pilot license airplane and have at least 250 hours of pilot .

official source of TAP confirmed to Lusa that the recruitment of new drivers - without a set number - aims to address the need for renewal of the cadres, but also "has a lot to do with the company's growth plans."

TAP will launch 11 new routes in 2017, of which seven are in Europe, three in Africa and one in North America, announced on 04 October the CEO, Fernando Pinto, in a meeting with workers to publicize the plans for the future of the carrier.
Fernando Pinto said that the launch of new routes, which should take place "in principle in the summer", is part of the growth strategy of the privatized carrier.

Next year, TAP aims to strengthen the operation in the autonomous regions, in Porto, Lisbon and Faro, "due to the growth of tourism in Portugal."

In the presentation to employees, the manager also mentioned the intention to relaunch routes in Brazil, which had a reduction in frequency motivated by political and economic instability that is the main market of TAP, which was also very impacted by the devaluation of the real.

TAP will be the first operator of Airbus A330neo aircraft equipped with the new version of Airspace booth and will present it to your 'stand' exhibition at Web Summit, which will take place from 7 to 10 November in Lisbon.

During this worldwide conference of entrepreneurship and innovation taking place in Lisbon will be possible to see how will the interior of the cabin of future aircraft, in what will be a first in the demonstration of the new car to the public not connected to aviation.

According to officials of the national airline, visitors to the exhibitor TAP Web Summit "will see the new and innovative 'design' of the aircraft cabin, try their comfortable chairs [class] executive and still perform a virtual tour of the aircraft ".

In April this year, TAP ordered Airbus aircraft A330-900neo 14, becoming the first airline to operate the new aircraft A330neo with Airspace cabin version.

"The company's customers will be the first to enjoy a new travel experience, in which stand out the comfort, the environment, the 'design' and the service. Combining modernity and new technologies, new aircraft also features unbeatable features in efficiency, versatility and reliability, "noted a statement from TAP.

Among the international celebrities invited to intervene in Web Summit will be David Neeleman, one of the new shareholders of TAP, chaired by Fernando Pinto.

The presentation of David Neeleman will take place on the last day of the event, the 10th of November.

"Given the importance of the Web Summit to Portugal, TAP was associated with their achievement as Sponsor, still offering its extensive network of destinations in the thousands of visitors who will come to Portugal this period. Also the UP, inflight magazine of TAP , joined to this realization dedicating its October issue to the Web Summit, aimed in particular Portugal and their bets on innovation and entrepreneurship, "concludes the statement said.

The times for new joiners in Europe seem really good.
Many majors and good airlines looking for FO's with decent contracts.
AF,BA,Tap, Brussels, Austrian, Air Berlin, Finnair and others.
Who would still waste time with dodgy contracts from Ireland?

Some contrevercy in the portuguese goverment.

The parliamentary group of the Socialist Party questioned the government over what it says is "discrimination on the grounds of age" by TAP, since "most of the recruitment competitions" of the air carrier determine a maximum candidate's age.
In a written question to the Minister of Planning and Infrastructure, Members of the Socialist Party, asked the Government to "consider it acceptable that a Portuguese flag carrier, mostly controlled by public capital, promote discrimination in access to employment on the basis of age."
The Socialists also interrogate the executive, led by the Socialist, the actual prime minister, Antonio Costa if "given or will give directions to the administration of TAP for the opening of the next recruitment process this situation is corrected and that the conditions of access to be reviewed."
It is that stress, "in addition to their obligation to serve the entire national territory in a balanced way, TAP Portugal has a special obligation to be a model in its performance, a regulator of good practice". The origin of the PS parliamentary group initiative is the fact that "most of TAP recruitment competitions" discriminate "access to jobs on the basis of age, putting as a condition a top candidate's age at job ". "The last tenders opened by TAP for Engineering Specialist Recruitment, to the area of ​​Maintenance and Engineering, stipulated as the maximum age for admission 30 years or 35 years in case of relevant professional experience," advances, still pointing another case in recruiting Cabin Cockpit (commissioners or flight attendants), where "TAP required that applicants for these jobs had between 21 and 26 years." "Examples follow one another and the Parliamentary Group of the Socialist Party received a number of complaints with their ads to different functions, not considering acceptable to exclude a wide range of the population," support the Members of the Socialist Party.

After this intervention, TAP was obligated to remove maximum age, as it used to have.

It won't stop them simply failing to invite older candidates though.

Very short time scale for interested candidates to present their resumes in Lisboa"personally" has been given. For anyone holding down a job in another country it is next to impossible to schedule a trip to Lisboa at the notice/in the time frame given . . . thereby favouring those they wish to select anyhow. . . . .:hmm:

Date limit to apply , was delayed until 15th November.

That is to say: No ongoing recruitment...

TAP might have removed the maximum age. It might even be that they might recruit someone over the previous age limit, just to pretend compliance with the new governmental wishes ... but strongly doubt it will happen :suspect:

Around 400 candidates for 36 vacancies.

The actual administration decided, to remove all ages limitations, for all vacancies.

Am I right to think that the recruitment is finished, and the guys who been picked are already on they're TR course?

TAP Portugal announced recently on a video to the employees that new admitions will occur until the end of the year.
90 more F/O's.
Until 2022 a fleet renewal with A320/321 NEO and will add more A330NEO than initially planned.
The A340 will phase-out next year.

Admissions will continue.
In a year 170 new first officers.
The introduction of the A330NEO in September, and 3 A321 NEO.

For the first time in TAP PORTUGAL history, a pilot with 52 years old was admitted . As the actual government banned the age limitation that was normal to have , as maximum 35 years sometimes 49 years old., this man was lucky.

This is an example for the industry !

any information regarding the assessment?

TAP announced this year will hire 170 F/O's

The requirements are changing.
People working there, have never seen so many advertisements, during the year to hire NTR F/O.
In an average of 2 month, requirements change.
The last one, English mandatory, Portuguese preferential.
Pilots are learning much more.
One of the good things that happened this year, with pilot union, is the compensation that, the company has to pay if you work in off-days or in leave-days.
Other is the company must compensate pilots, while they wet lease aircraft from other companies, to make TAP flights, like HIFLY is doing MPM,NAT,NAT and REC, EUROATLANTIC is doing CCS.

It is deducted from the salary.
New pilots don't pay it directly.
They will have a lower BASIC Salary. But in actual operational panorama, pilots are getting good cash at the end of the month.
Don't Forget that in Portugal, workers receive 14 salaries per year. 12 month*holliday Salary+Christmas Salary

This is a seniority based airline, and the first years a an junior FO.

Whilst I do not agree with seniority in the airline industry (I think it is outdated
and a legacy of the past) it does protect the current workforce employing DEC.

If this is net pay (after tax), it means a gross salary >5000EUR.
I doubt that cadets in most airline earn much more.

And you are not charged for the TR, but bonded - fair enough.

I agree with you with the outdated seniority.

In regards to the Type-Rating TAP charges €30.000 for it, deducted from you monthly salary.

Disappointing news, a legacy carrier should not be charging €30,000 for an A320 Type Rating when LCC are actually charging way less than that.

In Brasil?

Let’s see next destination? Dubai? China? to bring pilots back, :) :)

Email received from TAP recruitment Dept. asking for my documents . I sent everything but then no news back ... :suspect:

Portuguese
 

Do you speak Portuguese?
