Norwegian Hiring 787/777 FO's FLL

[Stone Cold]

My recruiter buddy talked to guy that flew BOS to BDA a few times and was stating it was "oceanic, transatlantic experience with numerous ocean crossings"

I still don't have a crossing. I have been down to the Seychelles and Mauritius though. Does flying around war zones count?

The good old days, when men were men (and so were women), and 4 engine aircraft and JT8Ds ruled the sky.

That airplane just had 5 APUs.

Well, crap, now your gonna tell me all the Mexican oil platform experience is for naught. A white man just can't catch a break in this world!

Whatever, Pete Campbell!

I flew a 'Van down to the Great Cayman, does that count?

Honest question, what is the difference between this and DHL suncontracting to cargo carriers here?

 

[BEEF SUPREME]

Well, what's the rest of your resume look like?

Depends on a number of things. But you're going to have some headwinds from being one of those from Norwegian.

I forgot to add:
Resume is good? methinks?
No incidents or accidents.
5000tt over 2000PIC
3 jobs in the last 10 years.
clean record.

Counts for something, anyone flyin an unpressurized single over that much water deserves some credit!

My old co-worker used to specialize in trans-oceanic ferry flights. Everything from C-172 upto CJs & King Airs. Hundreds of Atlantic and Pacific crossings. Most of them were in piston singles.

Some of the craziest stories I've heard.

I cry in my beer at the moving goalposts as much as the next guy, but the simple truth is you gotta get busy livin or get busy dyin. I'm opting for the former. *Shrug*

They drank more back in those days. Carbohydrates, Hydrocarbons... Montreal, Toronto, meh, it's Canada, eh? Have another beer!

Do you fly for Allegiant?

 

[Der rote Baron]

What will happen if somebody does not pass the EASA ATPL Exams?
Working on a 100% roster with 10 days off, having a family life and 14 exams within 2 years. Sounds like a tough challenge....

Best case they lost 10 K€ from the training bond

The devil is always in the details.

"Can you fly to Canada?"

"Any major checkride busts?"

"I see you spent some time at Mesa, then left for Eagle and then ended up at PSA, talk to me about your career track"

The Canada question is always fun. It answers the criminal history question along with the DUI question in one fell swoop.

So what you're saying is we'll be flying together out of FLL??

Meh, if they were talking about "Avros", you can't be that old-timey. That's a BAE 146, sonny!
