Anyone who is experienced reading this. I know you have to draw the line somewhere but I have 500hrs plus in a multi crew enviroment except on Light turboprop not on medium weight so technically I miss that category by 1.5 tonnes, bugger me but my conscience says tick 'no' I do not have 500 mutli crew hrs. But it annoys me a bit that a tonne here or there is nothing in avaiton terms unless of course you are a microligh pilot::E

anyone who can be bothered to type a reply to this appreciate it!

DD - Tick the box and take the leap.

I understand that Easy are reviewing this 500 Hour requirement so get your application in.

Best of luck.

Hi
If you have more than 500+ hrs multi crew it is enough. I had just a few hours above this requirement in approved multi crew operations on a 5,7 T A/C and I got invited.

Good luck:ok:

I've got 1000+hrs Heavy turbo prop (Q400) and they sent me an email saying i was to be invited for an assessment day, but due to me not having hrs on jet I would have to go through their type rating scheme??????????

I thought if you had 500+hrs JAR25 (Which the Q400 is i think?) you were illegible for their DE scheme????

Any ideas!

endofeng - if you did some research on here you would quickly find out as a TP pilot you would definately have to go through the TRSS. Even some jet guys/gals have to. :ugh:

I had nearly 3000 hrs on heavy multi-eng. multi-crew jet and they, too, told me I would be a TRSS candidate. Mind you, that was 18 months ago. Offered the job (Airbus) but turned it down as I also got offered a great job flying B777s! Hooray!

Applied with 1900 hours multi-crew time (King Air 200 contract flying) and got onto TRSS.

It helps if you can prove that you were flying 'proper' multi-crew ops... eg letter from operator stating 2 crew requirement, or better still, from CAA if 2-crew is national requirement (eg in SA).

thanks chaps for replying just got my newly converted license now so trying to get that foot in the door ! Its a bit weird being an unemployed pilot here, I guess you have to give these HR departments a bit of time to respond it seems!
anyway many thanks to those for the reply:)

Thanks, don't use pprune much, just started to use as I'm actively seeking new employment....

Thanks for the pointer though!

Is there an age limit on the TRSS scheme?

Ageist...never!
 

My own experience is that I meet the hours requirement (600 hours multicrew Ops. on a commercial, fast twin turboprop weighing over 10 tonnes. TT over 2000 hours). Yet I was not invited for interview...but my more glamourous and younger colleague with 500 multicrew and 700 total was. Maybe I didnt fit the young and thrusting profile.

For information: From November 2007 Age Discrimination will be illegal....not that I think for a moment that I was discriminated against for being an older fart.
