Hi Toomuch
Was thinking of applying to CityJet as a Direct Entry Captain. What are the requirements to be considered? I Have 3300 tt 1000 Turbo Prop Capt and 500 Jet F/O (Current Position).
You should be ok for DE with those hours, or perhaps fast track to command
What are the chances of getting Dublin Base?
No problems
Web site mentions 6 on 3 off. Would a lot of this time be spent in Paris Hotels. What's the latest finish and earliest start day off requirements.
You'll do about 3 overnights/week. There's no requirement for early/late days off. In fact often start back early and finish late before/after days off, although not as often as in the past. Rostering is the one major problem at wx. The 6/3 fixed roster is a small step in the right direction.
In general what's the atmosphere like with crewing and management, I'm guessing there's a lot of unrest at the moment after the cdg base closure.
No problems, except in cdg base, but that's mostly due to lack of communication. . Too involved to go into, but CDG base is not closing. Overall, a good bunch of people.
How secure is the Air France contract, When is it up for renewal?
No AF contract as such - Cityjet is a 100% owned subsidiary of AF so no fear of flights disappearing. Major impediment to growth is lack of crews at the moment.
Many Thanks Boys and Girls
