Assessment day & Sim Profile
 

Got mine in March, any top tip heads up would be appreciated

8 weeks from passing assessment to getting a phone call with an offer of a start date and contract. 3 months notice.

What time of year was your assessment?

I’ve also passed the Sim/Interview and am awaiting the next call.

April last year

For info Interview and sim conducted October 2023. Still awaiting phone call for start date so youre not alone.

Are you folk airbus ? I understand there’s no NTR dec until further notice

Yes rated and current

Anyone know the likeliness/situations with the Leeds/Manchester basing for NTR FO (Boeing)

Looking at the current base transfer list, I’d say you’d have pretty good chance for both, but MAN in particular as it’s our biggest base. It’s a transparent system and they will try to put you in your preferred base asap.

Amazing, thank you :)

thanks!

Hi 737jockey,
If you have access and can view the transfer list can you advise how things look for Edinburgh Glasgow or Belfast?
Thanks

EDI and GLA might be difficult to judge for 737 pilots due to the Airbus introduction. BFS has traditionally had a long list for Captain positions.

Thanks for that info. Is it the same story for FO positions for BFS?

According to the latest transfer list there are zero FO/SFO looking for BFS base. It has been a popular base in the past, with little movement, but I know of a skipper who got BFS after just 4 or 5 months after joining last year. The most popular requested base seems to be ALC, which together with PMI have been rumoured to be properly reopening within the next two years.

There seems to be quite a few SFO in GLA currently doing their upgrades which would presumably create FO vacancies there. Currently zero FO looking to transfer into GLA.

One further point is that the FO list in particular is pretty short when you strip out the Airbus Pilots looking to transfer to a base that is currently a 737 only base.

I'll quickly jump on the bandwagon here if I may...

Any idea for BRS? Thanks

CP 1 (737), FO 2 - both Airbus. I have no idea whether those pilots wishing to change base requiring a fleet change would go immediately or just wait for the Airbus to arrive at said base?

I am surprised how relatively short the base transfer list is, so must assume that the vast majority get their first base preference on joining, or within a year or so. perhaps a lot of the Airbus pilots in BHX and MAN are either happy there, or waiting for more deliveries to arrive at other bases before making their request. EDI is the next base for Airbus I believe.

Does anyone know how/ where to practice for the 757 sim?
Struggling to find any sim centers with the EPR guages
