Guys, finished the online tests and application back on the 23rd July, just wondering if anyone else reading this has applied/waited this long/longer to hear back about going to the next phase or not?

Thanks Fox and Count for the info...much appreciated!
That's odd. Factored hours is definitely the only criteria? In that case have you ever heard of anyone being told they don't have sufficient landings, despite meeting the minimum factored hours, for a SFO contract?
Thanks

Vwon - the slight problem you are up against here is that it can take some time to appear before a real live pilot who can make a sensible decision. Due to the sheer number of applications (thousands I am told), they use a fancy matrix and that does not always fit each case accurately. As we all know, individual aviation backgrounds can be wide and varied and it is often only a fellow pilot who can apply the necessary judgement and discretion in assessing what each individual's background means in a practical sense. There is no one being ill-intended here, but there can be some frustrations dealing with pilot recruitment. We are all the most important person in our own world and that is quite natural! When you are one of thousands of applicants you are unfortunately not the most important person in the recruiters' world! Anyway, usually it all sorts itself out in the end.

Hi all. I'm wanting to apply for DEC but am slightly short of the 1000 hours over 30T. Do I apply and say I have 1000 hours over 30T because by the time the potential start date is given and notice period etc, I will have the hours. Or is it better just to wait until I have the hours and then apply. Thanks
You wait. The very first thing they do when you arrive at their test centre is show them your logbook and licence. I can't imagine the look on their face if you didn't have the minimum hours.
Give you a choice? You apply for a specific base- person above obviously applied for PMI- he just doesn't know the T&C's exactly so is hoping for a heads up before the contract actually arrives (I'm guessing).

Hello dear aviators!
I applied for a NTR FO Portugal position and passed the online assessment the 3rd of July.
My application has then been under review.
The 10th of August I received a message on my applicant's portal :"We have sent you an email, please check your inbox".
I didn't receive anything on my inbox one week later.
Is that a bug or a normal automatic timeline?
Is anybody in the same situation?
Would you send an email to the pilot recruitment team?
Thanks for advice.

I've been through this thread from the beginning and I'm a little confused about the factoring of hours and would rather get this straight before I potentially take time out from work to attend assessment.
I am currently on £63k basic as a BizJet FO with 2500 hours (only the last 400 > 20T) with world-wide operations.
I live close to LTN and this is where I am applying to.
1. Is it likely / possible that I will be able to join as SFO as I can't easily stomach a significant salary drop for a prolonged period.
2. I gather from this thread that it is likely to be 3-5 years before getting near an upgrade course?
Thanks.

My understanding from reading this thread is you need +2500hrs factored to get SFO in the UK. Your hours would be factored as Non Airline at 0.7 per hour making your 2,500 = 1,750 factored hours (could be wrong) as far as Easyjet are concerned. Fox one posted accurate factored hours a few posts ago.
Hope that helps.

Cedrico, I also did the assessment back in July and my application has been "under review" for a long time as well. I too got the same message like you did but never received an email. I didn't wait and just gave recruitment a call as sending them an email is pointless, they never (or almost never) reply to emails. The lady I spoke with was super friendly and in my case it was basically a mistake, I was put in the wrong pool.
So my advice is: just give them a call! :-)
Good luck.

Could anyone tell me the average gross salary of a U.K. Year 1 SFO, including sector pay etc? Also, I gather a pay rise is due in October, what will the basic/sector pay be after that?
