Loganair Application??
I had a look through the on-line application and the second page requires you to state your highest qualification! Degree ect.But i dont have any of the mentioned qualifications,which means i cant move to the next page.Does this knock me out the running!

went for Logan interview recently, mentioned the online application form, and was told that 'well if people cant think on their feet and fill out 'degree' even if they dont have one then maybe they shouldn't bother applying'.
I dont have one and put degree so i suggest u do the same buddy!

Same goes for 'country of residence'. Increase your chances by claiming you live up North, like haggis, carrying small knives in your socks and are 'careful' with your hard earned money.
Mind you, I put all those things and still didn't get an interview.

That's because you forgot the secret Scottish handshake. I could tell you about it, but then the clan insist I would have to kill you (either with my trained guard haggis, or my little dagger in my sussies!).

Wow. You got to Page 2, PiperT? I attempted it, only to find myself being thanked for "re-submitting" my application. So that was it. Page One, and in it goes.
But: Hang on Logans, there's a lot more I could tell yuz yet!! I've degrees coming out of every orifice and I just LOVE haggis..!
As for "RE-submitting", this is worrying. Seems I'm now banging off applications in my sleep.
So those of you wrestling with the deep questions of Page Two, be grateful. The rest of us can only dream of making it to Page Two unresubmitted.

Any of you guys flown on the likes of BMI and heard an Aussie or American accent coming over the tannoy from the cock-pit, bloody annoying isn't it.
Not that I'm a xenophobe but Logan Air brands its self as "Scotland's Airline" and therefore a Scottish accent at the helm would do no harm at all. So all applicants go out and buy a good Robbie Burns poetry book and take some Scottish Elocution lessons (aka Parliamo Glasgow) before making an application.
All joking aside I have the tendancy to believe that if you are prepared to move from SE England to fly a turboprop the management will deduce that you will be equally prepared to move back down to SE England to take a jet job. Not sure but I heard a rumour that they prefer locals even mature ones who llike being home every night and dont really want to drop them the moment a jet job comes up. All idle gossip so don't know how true it is.

Thanks for the replys!Just one thought.Would`nt it be untruthful to say i have a degree?I understand it gets you on to the next page but they want someone to say they have qualification which they have`nt ,what did you say when they asked what`s your degree in?Surely they could add standard grades/gcse`s or highers/a-levels to the list. oh i hope that rumour is true i`m Scottish(working in CWL) and on the road to CPL/IR (currently finishing off my imc,time building experience)so if all goes well i should be 31/32yrs young/old!And would love to work for Loganair And be back in the homeland.
And be back in the homeland.

well to answer your question again, in the interview they were not worried that i put degree, although not having one. John Mooney (who will be one of the peeps interviewing) is more bothered that you had the common sense to fill the form out without phoning him to hold yur hand through it. good luck with the imc and for the future 
When you're found out (and you will be eventually) you wiull be dismissed from the company for having LIED during the application process. There is nothing clever about a fraudulent claim. Is your real background so devoid of character or interest that you need to embellish the facts?
The interviewers have backgrounds in engineering and both went to university. They are sharp blokes and will see through you immediately.
Lying is for losers.

errrr perhaps i didnt make it clear enough for people. During the interview i mentioned that i did not have a degree but had to put something in the box. To which John Mooney said well thats fine and that if someone cant think on their feet and do exactly that, then maybe they are failing in the department of aptitude... so are we all ok with that now, or shall i go to church and do some confessing before god strikes me down for my sins..

On behalf of every American pilot I know in Britain, we wish you the best of luck in finding work in the US and you have our full support. Just watch out for that nasty dollar to pound conversion rate and be prepared for our rather tasteless beer.

"And the problem with Aussies/ Kiwis/ Americans working in the UK is ?????.........????????"
no problem about this but very unfair world as a European has ZERO chance to get a work permit to work in the US / Australia / New Zealand ...
so I am asking : WHY ????? .............. ????????????
