Hi there.
Excel only base crew at MAN, LGW and GLA. There is talk of temporary bases at BHX and NCL next summer, but nothing is confirmed.
Junior salary, approx. £9200 pa, FDP £2 per hour, taxable at 66%. Bar comission about 10% regardless of whether you achieve target.
737 are operated by Excel, the 757/767 are operated by Air Atlanta, all three bases this summer were trained on all a/c, but there was no 737 based at GLA.
Direct entry purser - think you need 5 years exp, and only if no one available in-house to be promoted, direct entry assistant purser, same, but only need 3 years.
Permanency usually after two seasons, but some MAN folk are on their 3rd
Rosters good, usually on-time
99% back to back with the odd ad-hoc nightstops, mostly in UK but a few downroute
Hope this helps!
