Parc Ferry Flight service
 

Has anyone done a ferry flight for Parc in the past?

If so, what was the experience like in dealing with them?

I have ferried numerous time for parc. I have also ferried a few times for other companies.

You wont hear me say a negative thing about them. Very organized and paid on time. No complaints.:ok:

How refreshing to hear someone say something totally positive on here.

I can re-iterate what TC said. I've done 5 separate ferry flights for them and found them to be very professional and always paid on time. :ok:

I've done maintenance and ferry flights for Parc for many years from all parts of the planet.


Business Class travel was the order of the day. Timely and accurate renumeration. Had to pay for a hotel with my credit card which was reimbursed to my bank account before I checked out of the hotel.


Good folks.

Do parc consider FO's to help on ferry flights? I would love to get involved doing ferry flights.

Pilots' pay rises
 

The BBC had a report that some UK bosses were now contemplating long awaited pay rises above inflation to their hard pressed workers. In response the BBC received many e-mails from workers in various industries that told of frozen pay packets for the past few years. Inflation has been running at 2%pa = pay reduction. A 3% rise now is not a recovery, but better than nowt.
I thought back to my last 12 years as a pilot contractor. 1st 5 years flat rate with inflation 2-3%pa. After 5 years a 10% rise. This did not recover what was lost in those 5 years versus inflation, and fell back reflective to the competitive airline employees who enjoyed annual + seniority pay rises. After 2nd 5 years there was another slight boost, but same story. Still languishing behind the market. So, after 12 years of 2%pa inflation the income had risen by 2 boosts of 10% in 2 single steps. The backward steps were larger than the forward ones. And that was happening long before 'the crisis' and during a profitable period for said company. I'm out of it now, but I wonder if those airline bosses, sitting on their bonuses, are feeling as benevolent towards their hard pressed crews and engineers as the rest of UK industry oligarchs? Or will it be more of the same?

Have operated on ferries and short and long term contracts with Parc and can confirm the positive comments above :D

Me too. An excellent Company to work for. Probably the best.

Just curious: how many ferries you guys fly average per month / year?

Cheers:ok:

Me too ... I have done some ferry flights in the past for Parc, and they were true to their word on every count.

Whilst the renumeration is good when you do get a "job" .. the uncertainty of when the next delivery will be available takes the tarnish off it as a regular position. Confirmed Business Class positioning and very good catering are also true ....

Good Luck ..
