Primera Air A320neo
 

Hi, is anyone else joining Primera Air A320neo operation January 8th OCC at LGW

I believe this is the first A320 Course. I have absolutely no info about the Course, no location in LGW, not sure how many days the Course lasts, which hotel to be used, which Sim's, in short nothing.

Anyone else out there on this Course please, and can fill in the blanks ?

(I am A320 T/R, DEC, TRI, 23,000 flight hours, 2,000 NAT crossings)

Thanks in advance, feel free to PM me.

Why would someone with such a good profile join such a shabby outfit?

Maybe he didn't have enough NAT crossings for a different company.

Maybe he was made unemployed by some shabby venture capitalists and is trying to keep a roof over his families head?

Maybe 9k /m with base in the backyard is acceptable?

I thought the first course was on 23 January for type rated joiners!

Dates for the next ones?
How is the interview?

23.01
07.02
21.02
07.03
21.03

interview was good

Do you think they be interested in someone who’s Airbus rating was expired but has over 10,000 hours PIC on Airbus or are they only taking current Airbus guys?

Anyone else joining Primera‘s Airbus fleet?

They only take the best then.

Is there anything legitimate about this thread? Something stinks!

Hi, I started the thread in good faith............. I cannot be responsible for some of the 'replies'

So what are the T&Cs they’ve offered? Basic pay, sector pay or similar, guaranteed number of days off etc?

7 days off in a row, + 3 days off.

Basic Pay+ overtime pay. overtime >50h.
4900gbp roundabout if you join with 1000h a320

My data is mid-OCT, figures for a good month

junior PIC 6800 GBP
veteran PIC 9500 GBP

F/O ranges 5k - 5,9k

28 paid HOL/y
roster 23/7 (2+2+2+1)
basic insurance package

Terrible roster.

Those figures are pre-tax I presume?

I am advised we will be operating a 'W' pattern.

ex STN-EWR night stop.

EWR-BHX n/s

BHX-BOS n/s

BOS -STN (total 6 days on duty, expect 7 days off)

Basic pay depends on experience/Command hours

Hope that helps

if thats really a W roster, it should be good for commuting :) and for those 6 nights in London ill take a hotel or something...

Will it be the "standard" roster arrangement? And you'll get always 7 days off?

If so, thats great for commuting :ok:

By the way, which bases are available?
