Recon
Andi,
Recon don't do shrinking violets so go in armed and say hello. They don't bite, but don't suffer gladly. Down to earth initiative based go getters is what is required! Good luck!

However, they usually take a large proportion of their pilots from the ranks of the Fuglies... sorry, the Air Atlantique cadets! Of course, if you happen to have a Reims-Cessna F406 type rating, that might help...
Cheers
P.S.: it's Atlantic Reconnaissance, NOT Air Atlantic recon!

Atlantic Airlines
Have heard that Atlantic Airlines are looking for recruits on the Electra. I've done a search on this site for information about working for them, but got fairly little back.
I understand that the training bond is for 3 years, but I don't know how many £££'s you are bonded for.
If anyone has this and other information about their recruitment and in particular their working conditions I'd appreciate your comments.
PM me if you prefer.
Thanks,
IH

Flying log,
When you say the training is done on the actual aircraft you can't mean the initial TR aswell. Can you?
What about the sim in the states. I was very close to working for them until i accepted another position. At least 5 guys I know of went to the sim in the states to train.
I'm bonded on the dash 8 for 2 years at a cost of £12000, £42000 seems a hell of a lot.
Be interested to hear if things have changed recently, especially since they got the ATP's.

Good point Chutney, yet £42,000 does nevertheless sound like a staggering amount of money for a type rating.
How many hours is it?
...And if anyone has any info on what it's like working for the company, t'would be great!

Assuming you have circ. 1000 hours with your instructional background, then 18 months RHS and a command 
If its a genuine bond i.e. no salary deduction, then who gives a monkey as to its paper value?
Get your cv in

wasntme -
I don't know the exact training details as I've not done it but that was the figure quoted to me last year at interview with them. I was offered another position before stage 2 so got no further than the assessment and initial interview.
It also seems an awful lot of money to me, but if not for the other job I'd have done it if it had been offered, very valuable experience methinks
