Hi - I didn't get an offer and my perception is because I have been in Cab Svcs Mngmnt for some time already and they are looking for folks that do not have a pre-conceived idea of what their service is about - and I take this on board (s'cuse the pun) because you cant always teach an old dog new tricks and I am led to believe that the service and the crew are VERY supervised.
(Would still have liked a go though!)
The pay plan I found confusing as they pay a chock to chock rate of $32 - so that is off chocks STN - on chocks NYC and then they pay you a per diem per hour rate of $2 whilst away from base....was not made very clear how the standby rates were made up as you would do standby at the airport or work as ground crew assisting pax through to the lounge ......
With a mortgage and other responsibilities I think I would have found it hard to manage on this pay scale....
My understanding was that you would fly out on one day - arriving NYC that evening and get your rest and then be flying back the next day in the evening and arriving LON next morning but this would have to change with the amount of flts they are looking at putting on.....
Training is all done in NYC (6 weeks ) and I had no idea what pay we would recieve during training (not that it matters to me now anyway!)
I got the drift that they trained in a 'rote' way in that each passenger question would have a series of answers that the crew member would have the option to say - apparently the eastern airlines (eg Thai)do this.
Not convinced about the long term viability of the model as it must be very dependant on global bouyancy and with it being so very specific (ie NYC - LON and maybe 2 other destinations), but I wish them all the best anyway (even though they didn't want me!)
If you're not in a position where you are happy then I would say at least investigate these guys - nothing to lose!
Good Luck
