Interviews will most likely be in February for courses beginning in March. This would fit in with both the late January application cutoff and the April base opening.
Terms and conditions for LGW worse than for the same positions at DUB. Pay poor for cabin crew but reasonable for senior crew. Commission 8% divided between crew on domestic/RoI flights, 10% on others. Sector pay fully taxed. Basic pay at 80% during training.
No nightstops planned for summer 2009 though this could change. Also no plans for long haul at the moment.
Every airline has early starts and this will be no exception. You will work two and four sector days, as far as I am aware there is no fixed roster pattern.
