OK boys and girls..........
If you are serious about getting a job you will be up to speed as to who is and who is not recruiting - keep making the telephone calls, don't just bang in a cv and wait by the letterbox. All of you will have contacts - use them, ask questions, go to the airports, pop you head into the offices - try and speak to the CP and fleet managers - make yourself known - you never know........
All relevant info about the airline is on the website. If you have a 757 or 319/320/321 rating - great BUT if you have a licence with 1500-200 hours and all the modern CRM/MCC gobbledeygook even better.
FCA simply look at CV and then call for interview - no sim ride, no tech quiz. no fifth form algebra and meaningless BA type teambuilding. Interview normally CP or CTC. plus a fleet manager and a senior captain - NO human resources or sociologists. If non-military or non-type rated expect some questions on tech aspects of modern aircraft - composite structures/7E7/EGPWS/RVSM/TCAS - that type of thing - sorry cannot be more explicit.
FCA - rightly or wrongly - have a policy of choosing the right 'type' of person who will fit in with the Company - I could not possibly comment as to whether that assessment is always correct !!!
Time to Command - a good few years - the airline will not get any bigger - probably the reverse. However, the parent Company are more efficient than most if not all of their competitors and the package whilst not the best is far from the worst. Good bunch of people to fly with but like EVERY airline subject to increasing pressure from beancounters and paperclip pushers.
Good luck
