To you and all the Cityjet bashers I say get a life!
Unlike most of the posters to this column, I actually work for Cityjet and have for over 5 years. I work hard and enjoy it. I get paid well. I do not have a hidden agenda unlike the knockers.
There has been a lot of pilots who left in the last year or two. Mainly for long haul or to Air France or Aer Lingus. More power to them. There are also those who left because they felt that they were victims (usually having failed command checks or being demoted from a training job) This second group think that it was everyones elses fault except their own. I guess their type exist in every airline.
These are the facts:
Reasonably well paid (I get about €9000 per month into my hand)
Pension plan.
Loss of licence, income continuence, medicals, uniforms etc all paid for.
Brilliant staff travel with Air France for me and my family.
Fixed roster 6 on 3 off when you are there a while.
Transparent leave system
Paid from day 1.
Bonded for 3 years.
Good routes (would have prefered AMS to Knock but my cross wind landings will probably improve)
If you want a job in a secure airline - join us!
If you want reasonably good pay - join
If you want a great introduction to the airline business - join
If you want to work hard - join
If you have a sense of humour - join (I like a bit of a laugh on the flight deck)
If you are a whinging moaner - join somewhere else.
The management have taken a whipping on this thread. In my opinion, it is not deserved. Better them than me. I just fly!
To those of you who reply with 'facts' based on bar talk and rumour - I care not a jot!
To those who have said good things about us - thanks.
I am proud of this little Irish success story and will continue to do all I can to ensure its continued success.
Safe flying.
