Volotea
 

Hi

I am looking for information about Volotea.

How is the roster like, what type of contract they have and how is the salary.

cheers

The salary is the worst I've seen since a long time!

Can you give more details?

Spanish will be a must too.

This is not true, they prefer spanish, french or italian speaking (due to their bases location) but it's not a mandatory requirement.

Hey,

I'd like to have some info regarding this nice little company operating the B717.
They are currently recruiting cadets, FOs and Capt.

great!
can anyone tell me the price to get in ?

thanks
PS: i don't care about salary, I just want to fly...

Perhaps good for enhancing your own flying skills as you gain experience, but the 717 is a useless type rating. No doubt Volotea is an interesting niche airline but an absolute bottom feeder for pay, etc. I think even Vueling pay better and at least you get an A320 type rating out of it if you going to go that route. The race to the bottom continues!

Don't know about salary but the B717 is a fantastic aircraft, jet and fully glass cockpit. Is the Dash8 better type rating? Is the A300 any better? What about the Fokker 100 or CRJ?
Anyways, if you want to join Emirates, do you think having an A320 or B737 rating will be better? Of course not.

well I know some ex Ba cityflyers and ex Cityjet flying for Emirates and Qatar with no Airbus/Boeing hours, but anyways, the B717 is a Boeing aircraft, probably more modern than a B737-300/400.
Training at Emirates is simple: just learn by heart your SOPs and learn how to engage and disengage your Autopilot passing 100 feet AAL. ;)

The Boeing 717 was designed by McDonnell Douglas as the MD95. It became a Boeing after the two manufacturers merged.
They only built 156 of them, and stopped building them about 2006.

So basically .. it's not a Boeing, and it looks like a B717 rating would be of limited value.

...age discrimination anyone?!? "Funny" restrictions for an European airline,to advertise it openly like that...

Emirates shorten the 777 training for 717 rated pilots.

I think this guy with a moustache on the video above was the head of training manager at Vueling.

How is the recruiting process?

Rubbish. Few months back, I had lunch in Doha with a former student of mine who had spent the last 4 years on a small Nintendojet in Asia and went straight to a B777 TR with QA. How about that? Stop speculating on "which type", it is likely to drag you into the P2F/SSTR dungeon!

It is not about type, it is about how much you can pay. :oh:

And how much are they charging for this 'job'?

that's what I asked since the begining but no one dares to say it I guess. :oh:
Actually, this is THE question.

26000€ for the TR, and 900-1000€/monthly pay
