This week has been characterised by the industrial unrest that seems to be flooding across the flying workforce in Europe. It is so counter productive for job seekers as it increases financial stress on companies and they take up a more defensive stance. We need companies to grow and expand, we need the travelling public to have faith in the airlines and start spending their money on flights. I hope all industrial unrest soon finds a constructive outcome.

Flight Crew Finder has seen more jobs listed this week. We are very interested in helping an employer find crew for a Hawker 850XP in the south of the UK as soon as possible. If you know of anyone who is available please point them towards the site. We have new jobs on a Falcon 900 and the mighty 7X, these jobs offer very favourable terms and conditions. An employer is looking for some freelance pilots to fly the Embraer 135/145 for some ad hoc flying and this is based in the UK.

We have had an urgent requirement for an Airbus 330 captain based in the Middle East for a short term commuting contract. There are still a demand for airline type rated pilots in Turkey and this will continue as Turkish Airlines has confirmed an order for more Boeing 737. The Asian market is as strong as ever and is proving a lucrative location for many pilots around the world with the average jet captain earning over $12K a month net.

We are having new employers using the site, viewing the listed profiles and we are seeing our traffic increasing every week. We have been redoubling our marketing activity and calling and visiting as many employers as we can. The Forum and News sections are proving popular and we encourage you to ask a question or post a news story.

We have new jobs appearing all the time please keep an eye on the site, you never know what may appear. Have a good week.
