how 1700£?how much is the gross salary offered?

The info I received from Rishworth, I have 7000+ hrs/4500 pic on Boeing, but still go in as relief captain due to no wide body time, the gross salary is £5810 + £830 allowance = £6640 gross , bang that into UK tax calculator = £4461.68 NET. In my current lot I NET average £5617 per month PLUS company pension contribution of around £550 ( matched by me but taken out before tax and the above net figures)

So around £1700 less a month, plus the prospect of banging £30k against my house!

I wonder how many UK based guys are willing to jump at these figures.

The stated recruitment aim was to attract those near retirement, house paid off, etc. But seeing as the recruitment seems to be never ending I'm guessing that supply is/was limited. If more money is needed to attract a younger workforce, then I'm guessing they would need to up the pay for the existing workforce. Something that will probably and sensibly be resisted for as long as possible until it becomes impossible to crew the aircraft. My guess, and theirs, is that they will be able to attract enough crew on the current terms eventually.

“..they will be able to attract enough crew on the current terms….”

But there remains the issue of Norwegian’s treatment of its workforce:-

“Management are snooping around on forums and chat apps at the moment and as we're only contractors, I don't think anyone is putting too much information out…..”

Nothing shatters the tranquility of a group, creates a fear culture and discourages others from joining, more than a witch-hunt by those having total control over others. It is a matter of record that Norwegian’s have excelled at witch-hunting.

Previously, selected individuals were hauled before an inquisition, suspended, and terminated without representation. Divided, disorganized and powerless colleagues could only witness the shameful treatment (much like today).

A post on another thread is applicable to Norwegian’s unsavory labor practices:-

“I know of a number of politicians who are completely uninterested in their constituent's situation within the industry. Taking action and forcing change is a big challenge, but they were not even entertaining sympathy for the pilots in question”

However, US politicians are very interested and have met the challenge by taking positive action against Norwegian’s unprincipled labor schemes:-

Today, E24 Norway News reports that after two years of opposition to their circumvention labor schemes, Norwegian is still waiting approval from the DoT for a US permit:-

Kjos gir ikke opp planene: Har søkt ny USA-lisens med nytt selskap i Storbritannia - Norwegian Air Shuttle - Børs og Finans - E24

Direct Bondi,

I don't disagree with you at all, but let's not kid ourselves that the US airlines opposing Norwegian's US DoT application care about the Pilots and Cabin Crew. They're only interested in protecting their Transatlantic monopoly. It's all about the Green!

:sad:

Bondi, 69 of your 93 posts are Negativity directed at NAS

You clearly have an axe to grind and it must be cpvery sharp now.
However I'm sure those coming on here looking for the real T&Cs are getting fed up with it.

You must have reached bondi now, please go and play in the sun

I don't understand this website sometimes. Everyone bemoans the state of the industry, the on going deterioration in conditions, the way airlines treat their staff and that there is no end in sight.

But when someone tries to show people how things are in one place, people complain about it. You can't have your cake and eat it in my opinion. Maybe if people knew the real state of airlines in this case, there would be less applicants and maybe, just maybe, the conditions might improve.

Ok so Bondi is posting the same kind of things, but someone has to bang the drum.

Thats 24 posts that are positive !
More than I would have guessed....

It is nice read in last week’s FLIGHT INTERNATIONAL , that this company is on the TOP in raking of reduced emissions per per seat per passenger . Much better than BA.
B787 is a fantastic machine !

While on the subject of TOP rankings, this company, Norwegian, did not make the top 20 list of the safest airlines in the world, as reported in the Norway daily newspaper, Aftenposten, 1/14/16. However, SAS is placed firmly on the list - Link:

http://www.aftenposten.no/reise/De-20-sikreste-flyselskapene-i-verden-668692_1.snd

SAS Director Knut Morten Johansen said, “This list confirms there is a correlation between the life and teachings of our company”

The Aftenposten news article did not make any comment on the respective “employment” relationships between the pilots and the top 20 safest airlines.

It will be as it crams far more seats into its 787 than BA - 391 vs 214.

Has anyone signed the OSM contract for the 787 yet? I hear the deadline has passed! :eek:

Economy on both airlines has a 31 inch seat pitch. BA then have 25 World Traveller plus seats and 35 flat seats. That's how NAS "crams" more seats in.....

Wow, that must be a first for low cost - do they tow the extra 100 in some sort of winter wonderland sledge!? ;)

291 seats, not 391.
-9 will have 344 I'm led to believe

FriFagbevegelse | Nytt nederlag for Norwegian

The eight pilots and six cabin crew who last year sued Norwegian claims it pursues unlawful hiring and requires employment with the company they believe is their real employer.
Norwegian call requirements abstract, and requires that the court dismisses the whole matter. The airline claims the pilots and the cabin crew have no "legal interest" of a judicial clarification of the question of who has employer responsibility for them. It is both the District Court and now Court of Appeal disagreed.
"It is (...) a real straight uncertainty, the appellant contests the existence of an employment relationship (wholly or partly) between the parties," says the ruling.

- Ready ruling from the Court of Appeal
Attorney Christen Horn Johannessen in the legal department of the union Parat represents pilots and cabin crew in the case.
- In our assessment, the Court of Appeal ruling right and very clear that the plaintiffs have a legal interest in obtaining a clarification of Norwegian Air Shuttle (parent company of Norwegian, journ.anm.) Is their employer, says lawyer FriFagbevegelse.
- The High Court through its rapid handling the case also done what it can to prevent this kind of procedural objections means that a legal claim can be delayed by the it is aimed at.
The ruling was handed down Monday this week.
Requires permanent employment of the parent
Requirements for employment in and a collective agreement with the parent company, the real employer was the core of last year's pilot strike.
Two years earlier had Norwegian changed its corporate structure and created several subsidiaries. Amid the strike last year established Norwegian three new subsidiaries and moved pilots there. The Norwegian pilots were moved to Pilot Services Norway, which is registered under the industry "provision of personnel" and the crew to the subsidiary Cabin Services Norway.
If the court finds that there are unlawful hiring, they claim judgment that they have permanent employment with the hirer - Norwegian, according to the Working Environment Act §14-14.
Norwegian disagrees that this is contract labor. Norwegian believes that the subsidiary Pilot Services provides an enterprise on a pilot service.
FriFagbevegelse has not yet succeeded in getting a comment from Norwegian to the ruling.

Do you happen to know the wait between online tests and email confirmation?

Thank you for the information, let's see if anyone can comment on that

Fly 4 more,
You don't seem to have much grasp of your potential employer.

There are lots of pilots on an LGW contract.

How can you sign a contract before you've been interviewed ? You haven't been offered a job ?

You don't go to Oslo for 2-3 weeks. Rosters are variable but you can fly out of Gatwick, Oslo, Stockholm or Copenhagen.

Interview used to be , the old style , can I sit with this person for ten hours. Not sure if it's changed

Does anyone have a roster?
