BACX info re: Jet Hiring
Below are some words, which may be useful to original poster, found elsewhere on Pprune; respect to the author for the info.
Anyone on the inside care to expand on opportunities for pilots type rated on either jet type operated by BACX?
"Most of the info is here but a bit of background that isn't. Just because an aircraft is parked up some where every night doesn't necessarily mean it is based there.
The 2 145s at EDI operate CDG & BRS. They also operate through BRS to CDG helping provide the extra frequency on the BRS-CDG since AF pulled the route.
Two Dash 8s will soon be redeployed to EDI and IOM where crew bases already exist and lots of local pilots were faced with a move to manchester only to then nightstop back at their "home" base. First bit of common sense ever seen in BACX.
No crew base at BHD. The Dash 8 and crew are a MAN nightstop - all x-BHD crew moved to BHX or MAN largely onto RJ100.
At least 2 of the RJs,although crewed by touring BHX and MAN crews are officially BHX/Man based, operate from EDI to LCY and thorugh to GVA and 1 other operates LCY-FRA again as part of tour. These aircraft are roteated naturally with the weekly flying program.
Finally in this months issue of the flight crew newsletter (PRAVDA), GMFO stated recruitment was to be on going to cover massive expected pilot turnover (especially jet F/Os with lots of hours and no command prospects for the next 5-10 years !). So looks good for a rolling recruitment program.
Although there will be 8s at EDI, IOM and SOU all recruitment will be MAN on DHC8 unless RJ/146/145 type rated as regional slots fully bid for for the foreseeable future."
