SAS Recruitment
 

CAE announced recruiting for SAS based in CPH experienced first-officers.
After the 15 days strike and now pilots made an agreement, what can be expected ?

As per the new CBA between SAS and SPG , all new pilot positions with all the SAS airlines ( SK Scandinavian, SAS Connect, SAS Link ) must be filled by pilots that were let go during Covid19 ( around 450 pilots ) , so I won’t hold my breath unless you’re part of the laid off pilots from SAS.

I thought SAS Mainline had to rehire fired employees back to mainline.. Shame

This isn’t entirely accurate. CAE can still hire pilots in the LHR base.

Well until the terms of the new deal are known and its potential impact on the LHR base and SAS Connect, any talk of LHR recruitment is premature to say the least. From my understanding talking to LHR crews, both they and SASC crews in general have not been notified as of yet.

Dont get caught up in your own misunderstanding.

Nobody said there was LHR recruitment, simply that CAE can hire into LHR and do not have to draw from the SPG.

Issues with Brexit are severely testing this Dublin business model

I’ll ignore your first sentence.

It’s still premature to talk about what CAE can and can’t do in the current uncertainty. If the seniority lists do get merged and over 400 pilots rehired then I’m afraid all bets are off. CAE’s 5 year contract expires in the coming months as well!

You ignore all you like; I’m stating what is written in the SAS-SPG agreement

Speaking of which, is this available to read anywhere? Would be interesting to see the exact details.

Kendrick,

Well I can’t pretend to have sight of any agreement. Maybe you have contacts in management or training. However I have two friends there and neither have seen the agreement yet. I’ve also heard that any potential LHR upgrades are dependent on agreement between SPG and SAS which on the face of it looks like a tall order.

You've heard from someone who hasn’t seen the agreement…

The agreement is readily available in a few places

I believe the LHR base is limited to 100 FTE (full time equivalents) positions. One pilot leave, one can be hired. I am guessing a little, but don’t believe they will fall under the SPG owned CBA.

Hello aviators,

Anyone has been called for an assessment for CPH ?

Thank you

Regards

Yes, so interested in an kind of information what to expect!
Anyone any infos?
Thank you!

did you or anyone go to the assessment in Stockholm recently and can share the experience ?
thanks

Yes. Went there. Classic interview with „classic questions“ first. (Stuff like your strength, weaknesses, whats a good captain, whats a bad one, difference between CPT and FO…)
Then sim in A320 full flight. Bit of raw data flying and airwork. All straight forward and fair.

Thanks for your insights!

Any techincal questions during the interview? And is it correct that there is no computer based quizes?

Also, can you please share a bit more about what you did in the sim and how long it took?

Thanks iin advance!

I was asked more a szenario based question with a tyre burst on takeoff in the interview. And if i remember correctly the initial actions for an emergency descent. But thats just been a very short part.
Sim was about 30 mins. Raw data departure straight ahead 5000ft. That a few instructions like turn left heading xxx, descent 4000ft, further left heading xxx and reduce speed 230kts, climb 1000ft/min up to 5000ft, steep turn left/right with 45deg bank.
Then a raw data procedural VOR-DME Approach, followed by a go around and a raw data ILS to land. Then swap seats and be PM for the same thing.
Pretty fair and straight forward.

Thanks! Were there any single engine items? And was it with or without autothrust?

All this is very valuable! Thanks again!

I did the assessment last week.

There is no single engine or any other failure. A/THR on.

Good Luck.

Can anyone shed some light on the current terms and conditions at the LHR base?
salary for FO, roster, upgrade opportunities, any important info ?

Thanks in advance

Thanks a lot!

Any other tips on how to prepare for the interview+sim?

anyone know if they are calling ntr fo?

Hello, I applied for the SAS Sk NTR FO position which they have open on their main group site.

I applied more than 6 weeks ago and haven't heard a thing. I'm experienced FO with 737 rating.

I've heard of people getting the assessment and the job straight from flight school.

Does anyone know of the current situation in regards of hiring at the moment?

The reason I'm asking is, I was expecting to at least get an online assessment or something in that regard by now.

I'm Danish BTW.

Hi,

I was called for a screening in April in Denmark. I have 1900h TT, 1600 with a CS-25 type rating. Can anyone please tell me what is the averagy salary for CPH base for new joining guys with prior experience? I saw it is around 40 000 DKK, is this correct? If so, it is not really great salary, regarding the cost of living in Denmark.. Actually according google it is around average salary in Denmark at best....

Well it is a very average contract to be honest. SAS, what once was a dream for many is today a quite crappy place to be at.

Hi all

What do they ask in the techincal interview? Any ATPL questions that should be revised in particular? Do you know how long they're hiring for?

brgds

did anyone go to the assessment for TR first officers in CPH recently and can share the experience ?
thanks

Can anybody here tell me how much a 1st year Captain with SAS link is taking home after taxes , based in CPH? It seems impossible to find the T and C’s

Is there any news if they plan to take cadets NTR again?

Update selection
 

After the recent my interview ( European pilot but not danish,Swedish or norvegian) with sas, and certainly good performed (also confirmed by the assessors) in all phases, I failed.
they told me that they ll collect all the info about the interviewed pilots and then this info ll be forward to chief pilot that he has the final decision.
My personal impressions, is that they don't want non-Scandinavian in the company, I cannot see other reason for the failure on this assessment.
waste of time and money expecially because either the hotel for the stay and travel, must be sponsor by you.

Desperate times :D

Those are very low mins for DEC.

It is such a joke with their statement ”Competitive salary”…How long can they try to fool people to join their clown show

Strong brand, proud history and, not too long ago, the dream job for both aspiring and experienced pilots across Scandinavia.

Today: Disgraceful terms and conditions - in several ways even worse than Ryanair. Shame.

With klm/airfrance taking a majority stake by 2026, something has to give. Pilot unions are divided and employee representatives are left fighting for the crumbs - While the CEO management and consultants keep lining their pockets.

Any info on the bond ?
NTR a320 TT 3000

heard they trying to bond the TR too, anyone could confirm this?
