Pilot recruitment update
Further to the tremendous response from our initial recruitment campaign we have now had to close our online recruitment for this year. Prospective applicants may however still sign up for email alerts for when we open recruitment again. Of the 72 interview slots we have made available we have 68 confirmed pilots for interview - all of which are either already type rated or recommended by you. The remaining interview slots will be filled over the next 2 weeks and we have a further 200 pilots currently in a holding pool should we need to conduct further interviews. The standard of the 500 applicants has been very good this year and we think that we will be able to fill the 20 - 30 vacancies after this first interview round. Our pilot interviews start tomorrow and will continue throughout August concluding with our last interview which is currently set for 27 September. The first training course starts at in November where a small number of pilots will join the Company with the majority of new pilots joining us from January 2007 onwards. Thanks to those of you that have recommended pilots this year and sent in emails confirming why you are recommending them, this has helped us with our shortlisting for interview. Unfortunately with such a great response we will not be able to offer interviews to all of the candidates.
