Maybe because they were not suitable or good enough for an upgrade? I know personally many new captains upgraded in the last two years, good people definetly.

In the last two years, they had two runway excursions and two near CFIT incidents, so being good people isn't enough. Pilots who left, found jobs in much more reputable outfits. The ones who stayed, let's say that wasn't in their hands to leave. Furthermore, many of the pilots who were stuck in the right seat for 5-6 years in the Airbaltic, upgraded quickly in their new airline.

Hello guys!
I am applying to airBaltic after 21.06.

Can anyone share the info about the test (2 part of assessment).

Thank you!

If they can’t prepare for upgrade pilots who fly for the company for 6 years, how they will fast track ATR newcomers?

Did you get anything?

Hi Pilots,
Who possess and could share the latest airbaltic online test Tripod, which this company got used in common for assessment?

Thanks,

Hello,
Maybe you have got some test for preparation for Step2 assessment?
Thanks.

Do you have any preparation tips for the online assessment?

Did you get anything I need help
 

If you can help me i am wondering how were the Q’s in the online assesmey

They lowered FO minimum hours back to 300 CAT.

Which pilot with more than 1000 CAT would be attracted by their T&C? Even Airbaltic academy graduates are leaving them
They will start hiring again LET410 and Beech200 pilots

That's embarrassing

Why the hate on small turboprop pilots? Did you guys get rejected while some of those guys got hired? Is that why you stick around in this thread hating on airBaltic in every post? Please enlighten us.

I'd take a L410 or Beech King Air pilot as an FO over a fresh cadet most days of the week :rolleyes:. Experience matters.

There was a funny dispute some pages back if L410 or Beechcraft 200 aircrafts fit the entry requirements. I thing it was about advertising something and acting differently and not about the skills

Pilot shortage is actually happening
But 300 hours is weird, it’s usually 500 or 0 hours

I saw an advertisement for position in Spain. Are they making a base there or is it like Tampere base?

You are guessing wrong.
This forum is called Professional Pilot Rumors. It's not an act of hate if you post that an airline is hiring people who don't meet the initial requirements. If I was flying for a German airline which requires B2 in German language, I would post it too if seeing people who got hired without speaking any German. This doesn't mean that I hate people who don't speak German.
I saw some posts of yours about AIS. Did you feel offended?

No, not offended at all. I flew the JS31/32 for a solid and quite fun 4 years (though never for AIS). But I have been flying jets for many years since, without any particular interest in airBaltic. It is just a bit weird that a handful of posters here got upset, and have since been salty, that a company gives applicants MORE opportunity instead of less.

I would say it does not really negatively affect anyone already employed in AB if you get some guys with actual commercial flying experience instead of cadets only? Anyway, carry on.

Prestn T&C in Air Baltic
 

Hi Guys!

As I can see Air Baltic is hiring constantly for a lot of bases across Europe (NTR F/O position).

Is anybody here working for them as F/O?

Their T&C (especially those concerning salary) are not clear for me - so it would be easier to get some answers directly from somebody working there before applying.

1. How big salary can I expect there monthly net? In my current airline I can get approximately 3750 Euroes net per month and no other benefits except food on board and myid tickets. B2B of course, no permanent job contract, no any licence/medical insurance, terrible DT/FT ratio,
2. How is the general atmosphere? Instructors, captains, cabin crew and another people which we cooperate with daily?
3. What are the options for being upgraded to Cpt? Currently as FO on E-Jet family I have approximately 1500hrs and 2500hrs total.

Thank You so much Guys in advance for all the replies.
