T. Fernandes, First Officer (A320F), Avion Express

T. Fernandes, First Officer (A320F), Avion Express

My first impression on arrival for OCC was that they really are the airline of opportunities like they say. The company has a friendly environment, and all the people in the headquarters are happy to help and to make the life of the flight crew easier. I really enjoyed the OCC. All the arrangements were clear and simple. I'm delighted to be part of Avion Express and I must say all the support from Rishworth was essential during the assessment. It's a great milestone in my career.


N. Tenoux, First Officer (A320F), Avion Express

N. Tenoux, First Officer (A320F), Avion Express

Avion Express offers a wide range of opportunities. I like very much to be based in different countries, discovering new culture and new people. It is a very international airline. This ties in with one of the aspects I like best about being a pilot: diversity. We fly in many different airports, in plenty of countries with colleagues from all over the world. On top of that the Airbus A320 is a very nice aircraft to fly. Rishworth has been a huge help in the process by giving me constant help, an active listening of my constraints with both a friendly and a professional atmosphere.

I recently was contacted by the Rishworth Aviation team about an opportunity. From the outset the team approach was industry leading, discreet, and very professional. They provided the information I needed to assess the opportunity and they followed up continually leading me through the process. A very good experience indeed. It was first class platinum service all the way!

A. Prato, Captain (A320F), Braathens International Airways

A. Prato, Captain (A320F), Braathens International Airways

I have been a pilot on the Airbus Family for over 25 years and worked mainly in America and Europe. When I started looking for a pilot job in the Internet jungle, I got in direct conversation with Cristina at Rishworth. Sure thing, she answered all questions big and small, but most importantly, I knew then I was dealing with serious responsible people and not an automatic email response. This is an industry made of people to take care and transport people, the filter and selection process needs to be done accordingly, and that is exactly how I felt with Cristina. She was there every step of the way. I am now happily working for BRAATHENS in Stockholm. Thanks Cristina.
