would you be kind enough to pm it to me too? 👍🏻 |
Any idea how much the bond is for the type rating?, its a real shame that we in the UK and Europe have to do the type rating again, I've over 10,000 hours in command of the A320 but not flown it since 2012 so as far as I know it' a full type rating again?👎. I'e already done two 737 type ratings in my career but that was a 20year + gap, I believe the Americans don't have to do this on an FAA license, just enough to pass a proficiency test, not a full rating?

It's not a bond. You pay £22,000 (unless you take a Portugal base). Payments can be spread over three years. I don't think it can be taken off your pre tax salary.
Sadly, easa came out with some ill thought out guidance which said a full type rating would typically be required after three years since last flight. So far as I'm aware, it was never more than guidance, but no airline would be willing to step outside easa guidance, so it is always applied rigidly, irrespective of previous experience. Before that, it was five years, and even beyond that, exemptions could be granted for less than a full rating. Yet again, easa screws it up for the humble flight crew! |

From my understanding only extra training is required between 3 and 5 years under the latest EASA rules, after 5 years its a full type rating

Next intake
Has anyone in the know got an idea of when they will be training up new joiners onto LGW/LTN base? Interviewed for NTR FO in March and currently in the talent pool. Moving home from the Far East so keen to get a heads up on top of the 3 month’s required notice. |

Moving home from the Far East so keen to get a heads up on top of the 3 month’s required notice. One of our group for DEC NTR in early March was offered an almost immediate start for Berlin base but wanted to wait for LGW. He was told that courses for LGW/LTN would most likely start in Autumn, so possibly a call in June/July to be able to give three months notice. |
Many thanks to you FlyboyUK for the very helpful PM. Pprune at its best as a source of information and support. Thanks again.

Has anyone of the TR guys been called for autumn yet?

Interesting to see they’ve just opened 2018/19 NTR recruitment for various bases including; Paris and French regional as well as the usual suspects of London, Berlin and Portugal. Could be a sign they are getting ready to drain the current ‘talentpool’? |

The taxation can change a lot depending on family situation (married/not married, kids, etc). |
