Phenom,
Yep 757 based at LBA,NCL,MAN and EMA at the moment with another 75 going to EMA for next summer. Rumor has it another 75 is making its way up north too, the talk on the town at the moment is either EDI or NCL!
If the company are going to take cadets one of the positives as far as the company goes would be to bond them in for 3 years, which is the current time span the company adopts. Think this is one of the problems facing the company at the moment as most of the sponsored guys they took from CTC have finished there bond, hence a load of guys buggering off to the sandpit. I guess the company will want a certain amount of security for the next couple of years with regards to crewing levels and bonding would be one way to achieve this.
Guys who have joined the company with a type rating already in hand only get bonded for a year!
Interesting that they are asking what you expect to get payed! At the moment there seems to be quite a bit of discontent about pay and our general T&C's here, mind you there always is I guess, no matter where you work!
oh and by the way, we are currently going through a statuary recognition process with BALPA, hopefully in the long run this might help us all...fingers crossed heh....
