They are recruiting TR and non TR for both seats, i have been to Leeds twice in the last few months for assessments etc. The whole process has been a bit long winded and the communication could be better but overall very friendly and straight forward. All of the pilots and recruiters I have met and spoken to have been very transparent and helpful. They are currently filling courses for Jan/Feb but will be running courses every 3 weeks i think until June so there is plenty of time to still interview and go through.
I will be joining in the new year and am very much looking forward to it. Hope that info is of help to some people. If anyone could enlighten me on the following it would be appreciated:
As an experienced joiner, circa 3000 tt, whats a realistic time to command?
If you join as an FO on the 75, could you spend 2-3 years in the RHS and then bid for a command on the 73? (this is what i would ideally like to do)
Apparently this 70% contract malarky should be for max 16 months... Is it likely to be shorter/longer?
All opinions welcome
