internal mail
Hi,
As you are aware we are doing a considerable amount of recruitment this year, in preparation for S16 – we are currently looking for around 60 new pilots as a result of planned retirements, attrition, commands etc.; it’s probably worth noting here that the rumour that we have lost 40+ pilots to BA is not true! This year 9 First Officers have resigned to pursue careers in BA, a lot fewer than the rumour!
Cadet Positions
We have already closed the Internal Cadet Positions and invited all 14 applicants to an Assessment Centre in EMA on the 2nd September. We hope to then select 8 candidates to progress through to the next stage which is a SIM session on the 14th September. Those who pass this will then start with us on November 19th to commence their 737 Type Rating – once they have completed their Ground School they will be based at MAN or LGW; the plan is that we will recruit 6 positions.
737 NG / Classic Type Rated Pilots
This position opens at 0001 on Monday 17th August and closes at 0000 on Sunday 23rd August. These positions are open to 737 300 – 900 Type rated pilots with a minimum of 300 hours on the aircraft, of which 100 must have been in the last 12 months. This 737 TR recruitment is different to previous years as we have included “Classic” pilots for the first time.
757/67 Type Rated Pilots
This position opens at 0001 on Monday 17th August and closes at 0000 on Sunday 23rd August. These positions are open to 757 / 67 Type rated pilots with a minimum of 300 hours on the aircraft, of which 100 must have been in the last 12 months.
Non Type Rated Pilots
This position opens at 0001 on Monday 17th August and closes at 0000 on Sunday 23rd August. These positions are opened to pilots with a minimum of 1500 hours of which 500 must be on a twin turbo propeller aircraft, a military aircraft or a multi-engine jet. This is the first time that we have opened recruitment to non 737 / 757 pilots and so please pass the word around!
The positions will be advertised on the careers site (details below) and also on Twitter and Face Book
Candidates who pass the initial screening will be invited to an AC w/c 27th September when they will go through a morning of exercises that are based on the Pilot Skills List; if they pass the morning they will then be interviewed and then either offered a position or not!
The Assessors include a mix of Pilot Managers, Fleet & Training Managers and 10 Line pilots. This year we will be inviting successful Non Type Rated applicants to do a SIM session if they pass the AC. All positions will then start from early January right through to March time next year.
I appreciate that many of you know pilots who want to apply but can you please not give them my details … nor ask them to send me their CV!
The only way they can apply is via the web site: tuijobsuk.co.uk once the positions have gone live. They will then be screened by the 11 September & then if successful invited to AC; all dates are included in the job details on line.
I hope this is helpful,
Rgds, Kathryn
