Please note previous comments on recruitment.

There is a current memo to ALL pilots at FR stating that courses Nov-Feb inclusive are cancelled and that the OPEN DAYS are suspended after September I believe.

FR pilots do know whats going on. The company can't have made it any clearer.

This ties in with temporary fleet reduction over the winter. They don't want guys joining and then not flying. If you start a TR in March then you'll be through by June when they need pilots.

Possibly there may be last minute slots for courses but they are also still recruiting experienced pilots. Mate of mine got a call yesterday offering a job, but he has shed loads of 73 time.

There is very low turnover at FR as it is seen as a "safe" place to be in this climate. In my experience I fly with very few people who are not very happy with their lot.

Make sure your skills are kept up to date as when they do recruit they can afford to be really picky. Believe me as well that getting in to FR is not a walk in the park !
