Of course, this is also a paid internship and pilots will receive salary between $250 to $500 per flight day, while en route. During this internship, pilots will be given an opportunity to build even more valuable international cross-country flight time, get acquainted with different types of airplanes, acquire experience of flying in International airspace across Atlantic Ocean and advance their aeronautical experience much further.
This work as a professional pilot involves flying light and medium piston and turboprop airplanes, with MTOW under 5700kg, from aircraft dealers in North America to buyers in other countries, including Europe, South America, Asia an Africa. In addition to all that, pilots can get a big percentage of previously spent tuition fees back by earning a salary of $20 per flight hour, flying up to 80 hours per month.Īfter pilots complete their initial flight instructor internship, they will be offered another type of career development support: an advanced internship as international ferry pilot with Global Air Ferry.
During this internship, pilots are presented with a great opportunity to increase their flight time from 200 to 1500 hours, build flight time on single and multi-engine airplanes, acquire initial professional pilot work experience and collect excellent references from the employer. Because of that, our program offers up to 18 months of paid pilot internship as a professional flight instructor. We understand that this problem becomes one of the main obstacles on the path of the professional career development of any new pilot.
Why is it important? Because most airlines do not want to hire a freshly-graduated pilot with only 200 hours of flight time, even if he/she has a commercial pilot license with all the required ratings. The pilots’ collective labor agreement expired at the end of March and the pilots are therefore allowed to call a strike, the unions said.Any comprehensive professional pilot flight training program must offer students an opportunity to undergo pilot internship after completion of the flight training phase.
SAS didn’t immediately return calls seeking comment.
“Nobody wants SAS to do well more than us and we’re ready to work hard for the company.” “We have reached out very far to help SAS and offered large cost cuts,” Henrik Thyregod, the chairman of the Danish pilot union, said. The pilots had offered annual cost cut proposals amounting to 450 million Swedish kronor ($46 million) in return for guarantees that pilots would keep their jobs, the Danish union said in a statement. The unions say they are concerned SAS is hiring pilots through two newly created units, SAS Connect and SAS Link, instead of re-hiring unionized staff that was let go during the pandemic. The Stockholm-based airline plans to raise equity capital and convert existing debt into stock.
SAS announced last week its second major rescue package in as many years, seeking to shore up finances depleted by the coronavirus pandemic. (Bloomberg) - SAS AB, which is already facing a $3 billion restructuring plan, will now also have to deal with a potential strike from its pilots.Īlmost 1,000 pilots in Denmark, Norway and Sweden will strike later this month after they failed to reach a new collective labor agreement with the airline, local labor unions said on Thursday.
