Re-location

Hi guys,
I'm a newbie here, so forgive me if I'm in the wrong forum.
I have started on the Islander, because I want to fly the Scottish island routes before moving onto something bigger.
I did the type rating flights at Jersey, and now I want to move to Glasgow. Does this mean I have to buy a ticket to get there out of my very limited earnings so far ?
Or will the airline sponsor my transfer and re-location expenses ?
Cheers, Alan Ramsay

I'm sure this will be moved down to the VA forum in due time (down at the bottom), but as a Database Admin at FSAirlines and a user, the cost of a "ticket" to move from place to place is very reasonable, usually under 300v$. I know I've had tickets as little as 20v$ when transferring within the UK in the past (usually from LHR to London City or LGW).

Although not sure exactly where but this is training info I suppose.
John please move if you prefer it in another section

Hi Alan,
Yep, we all pay for our tickets to transfer to whichever airport we want to get to. Buying a ticket is very inexpensive and is not a factor of great concern.

John
PS I'll move this down to the crew room.

Hi Alan
Just had a look at where the Doves are located and there is one at Jersey, these a/c do not have a home as such therefore if you are rated on Doves' then by flying it to Glasgow you can earn your fare instead of paying for it.
May seem a long way to fly but by making staged stops en-route you will earn more money and have a rest at the same time.
DM was the last pilot on this particular one way back in 2008 (I think) here is the serial number G-AMYO. Only if you are rated for this type though.
Regards
Nigel.

Hi Nigel,
The Dove is no longer a 'given' TR so needs training flights as per rest of fleet if a pilot wants it.
Regards
John

I bought my ticket to Glasgow, not too bad, just $101.
Now staging to Kirkwall to fly the island routes for a while.
