Terms and EndearmentThe forum the bean counters hoped would never happen. Your news on pay, rostering, allowances, extras and negotiations where you work - scheduled, charter or contract.
Can anybody tell us whether we are going to receive some additional information on what to expect on the day? As with the chap above - not expecting the exact low-down, but a little advance warning of what is coming would be good! If anybody knows whether Thomson will supply more info closer to the time that would calm my nerves slightly
Rumour has it...and it is only rumour ( galley fm ), that most chosen were low hours second officer wage guys. Good luck to them if true, but a sad and all too common state-of-industry message. Pay as little as possible and forget experience. If true then Thomson sadly joining race to bottom along with rest of them. Balpa failing massively in my view. Ctc have a lot to answer for.
Seeing as just about every FO in Thomson has the hours for command, it would seem to make sense to recruit mainly low hours guys, to establish a more balanced hours demographic within the FO community - I'm sure the fact that they will be able to pay them less is just the icing on the cake
I only know one guy who has been invited for interview, and he has about 800 hours 737-800.
A number of my colleagues are interviewing with Thomson. They all have over 3000 hours 737-800 time.
I would say the majority of guys going for interviews are quite experienced operators from FR, BABY, Jet2 and probably a few coming back from the desert.
They will also be interviewing their existing CTC Cadets that are flying with them at the moment for permanent contracts in December I believe.
None of my baby colleagues got an interview that I know of. Probably had something to do with us flying the classic and not the NG!?? Either that or we are all completely useless at writing essays on customer service!
have a lot to answer for.
