British European are interviewing at NCL for Cabin Crew next week. The numbers required were planned at :

9 X No. 1's / IFD
14X Juniors

The requirement for groundstaff would be very small, if next to nothing as they already have a handling agent at NCL and their operation is not big enough to warrant self handling.

The news about pilot recruitment however is not what I expected, nor anyone else by the sounds of it.

23 Cabin crew at the moment, however that is only enough to crew two aircraft on the current schedule. I expect that should any other routes such as ABZ be taken up in the future,then more would be required.

The only airlines to have a crew base at NCL with no Flightdeck are KLMuk and Air Scandic who nightstop crews from AMS/STN and Helsinki respectively. All others have full crew bases. Would be strange not to see BE have flightdeck base soon. Why set up a crew base with no flightdeck for 3 CDG and 5 BHD per day?

Good luck to all at NCL, for now and the future.

Cheers,
