Time to PIC and base /roster
Hi guys,
Anyone has information for me. If I were to join as a FO with good experience 4500+ 2000 jet,
but no time on 737. What's the current wait for PIC with TS?
Also, let's say you are based in Canary islands, are you doing schedule flights from here or you are doing ACMI, how long is the time away on this ACMI contracts?
Thanks

I dont thing TS is recruiting currently for the Canaries, ACMI is usually 2 - 4 weeks, there are contracts 3 - 6 months but you should not be forced to do that and the conditions for this are quite good so there are a lot of volounteers.

Well,
It was very complex (~8 h over 2-3 days), composing of:
1. Sim assesment (if not 737 TR it was on FB ATR72, which is nasty and nobody like flying it + you have no place to practice unless you are ATR TR),
2. 4 hours of compas tests (all kiind of agility, memory, eye-foot-hand coordination, etc. + ATPL test),
3. separate ATPL test (nothing really special - like EASA ones),
4. written english (nothing special),
5. oral english (very detailed and focussed both on general english and aviation english - acft parts, atc comms, medical, etc.),
6. 45 minutes interview oriented only on FP (notam, snowtam + case where you receive 3 pages of notams, another 3 of wheather info, EDT and you must decide whether you can fly or not, how many alternates and why, etc.),
7. 45 minutes Jeppesen interview - very detailed - all kind of charts & maps + they check your knowledge of airway manual (i.e. "you fly from PRG to BTS, your TCAS is inop. where will you find info if you can go", or they show you VOLMET on low IFR chart and ask you to find what is broadcasted on this particular one). Its not much a deal for somebody experienced in airline flying especially if using JeppView but for caddets is quire complicated (90% of the questions asked were about things not even present in training airway manual),
8. group assesment with psychologist (nothing really special),
9. indywidual assesment with psychologist.
Regards,
