PM me please ..!

Hello,

I am in!

Thanks

Did you have a pre assessment? How was it?
Can you tell something more about it? Did they promise you will you get the job?

pre assesment info.
 

Hi All,
I'm interested to get info over the pre assessment as well. Please PM me.
I'm waiting for a date.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Not difficult selection imo, pre assessment with cut-e, then 30 atpl questions that you have to pay eur 500
If satisfactory grades, you are requested to go to Riga, to talk during one hour with a psychologist and 3 people from smartlynx about your motivation and some technical questions.
Info regarding the contract will be communicated if we got the job.
I talked to some guys and if you choose the 19k program, expect to receive eur 1500 per month during a long time and 2 months unpaid leave per year. Contract from Dubai

Everything sounds good except for the 1500 per month. If you consider that you have to pay insurance and pension from this, even if you are self employed... it doesn`t stay that much....
But that is the way. As long we will be crazy enough to fly for this money, so long time the companies will do like this.

Your message is non sense. It is not «the way» to accept bad conditions.

And what would you do if you would like to flay and you cant get a job?
Would you rather be out of a job or accept bad conditions and start to fly

Only fools and horses work for nothing.

That makes me a horse then :)

Hi all,

They are advertising a lot for A320, A330 and B737MAX since October last year, new ad almost every week. Me and several friends applied (mixed experience levels) last year, so far no one has had an interview. Anyone have any information what's going on?
Yes, I know it's not a great airline with great pay but right now anything will work.

Thank you

Hi guys... has anyone recently done 737 interview, and if so could shed some light on it?

Thanks

SMARTLYNX A330 fleet it's a big mess
 

Good morning all, I
would just like to warn other pilots about SMARTLYNX.
The Airline is a mess. Standards are below....let's put it this way, a more realistic way, there are no standards.
You will only be rostered for a flight if you have connections in the office or you are an Italian pilot. You will only be a trainer if you have connections in the office or you are an Italian pilot. Most experienced pilots are leaving. Salary is ilegaly paid by the day, from an agency in Dubai, So you will be paid from the UAE, working for a Latvian company, operating under Maltese AOC, ACMI anywhere in the world managed by Italians. Not a nice thing to say but it's a warning. Stay away from SMARTLYNX.

Truly Yours,
DUMBLYNX

Quite true but I will correct in some area. First of all, stop saying it's a salary as it's not. As a service provider you are paid Fees. Technically you are not working only for a Latvian company but for 3 different entities ( 3 AOCs) in Latvia, Estonia and Malta. On A320 fleet you will fly on YL, ES and 9H registered aircrafts. Mainly pilots are paid by this agency in UAE (AERVIVA), some from F2R or CONFAIR.
Operation is really a mess. Pilots are leaving. They are forced to schedule 2 captains time to time as there is a lack of FOs. Don't expect any support from them. The last straw that break the camel back, that for a customer in UK it was asked to not delay flight despite we don't have water. Portable water is an option.... Are you serious ???
This airline is a JOKE. At least you are warned where you are getting to..
