Kind of an old thread...

...has APLA / IFALPA lifted the hiring ban the DEC's into Swoop ?

Or Lucky Airlines, where skill is sometimes not enough.

It's been four months since the start of the thread with its summary of the contract.

Anyone willing to share what the rostering has been like ? Is it still 18/19 days of work in a 30/31 day month ?

Are they hiring Captains or First Officers ?

I know both Nikki and her husband. They are fantastic, stand up folks. Nikki is offering an opportunity. Take it at that. If you’re not interested, move along... I am sure they are. Not saying that they are not. Been flying overseas for some time, all over the world. You cant give our a false sense...

I am Currently working on getting some of my guys a reverse roster out of YVR, and a contract with Xiamen Airlines.

Have a wonderful day!

If the airline hasn't offered it, then there is no way a "Gweilo" will ever persuade them to offer one.

Thanks.

Although I cant see how a ULCC is going to make money doing an ACMI, unless SmartLynx is going to work for maple syrup.

Any news on starting operations and the hiring of pilots ?

We bid for schedules in the traditional way so there is no pattern. YOu are guaranteed 12 days off a month and a max schedule of 85 hours. So if you hit 85 hours in 15-16 days you will have13-15 days off. No grey days etc - they are off days. SO you can request specific days off, specific flight et...

How flexible are the schedulers ?

Do you work a staggered (3 on/3 off) type of roster or more of a 10 days on/10 days off pattern ?

Thanks in advance.
