Hi Guys


Well with Ryanair coming in March 06. does anyone know how they recruit ? will they advertise locally in the papers like the Derby evening telegraph, Leics mercury or notts post ?

What about flight deck jobs ? surely they may get some ezy or bmi guys now, i have seen on another pprune chat that fr are in line to get the new tenerrife north flights from April 06, and that one is lined up for EMA !!!!
There is no mention of this on there website or EMA's ,does anyone out there know anyhting different ?

Well talking to one of my old work colleagues today at EZY, i beleive the final Airbus will be coming next week, they now have 2 here at EMA and the set will be complete from next week.

Take care all

Mike

Hi

Does anyone know anything at all about the ryanair recruitment side of things ?

Also does any know how FCA have done this summer with there long haul programme from EMA to dom, mex and orlando ?

I think it must have been a success,as when i enquired about a holiday to mex from ema, the flight was fully booked up !

Take care guy's

Mike

Information for Ryanair's recruitment at Nottingham EMA is available as always at ryanair.com. Ryanair do indeed insist that you pay for your own course & uniform, but this doesn't stop an endless stream of interested (mostly Eastern & Southern European) potential flight attendants from applying.

Other airlines that are hiring for summer 2006 at EMA are Thomsonfly & Thomas Cook.

Hi egnxema,

Sorry for the delay in replying, roumer has it the final Airbus arrives on Monday the 10th October pm. But that could change.

Mike16,

I've only flown 4 FCA LH rotations this summer, but all have been full, and all VERY happy with the new interior. Same destinations, different days on the program for S06.

I think Preveza is north of Corfu? About 3.5 hrs flying time from the UK

Mike16,

S06 plan currently:

EMA-CUN Fortnightly 1May-30Oct (Monday)
EMA-SFB Weekly 2May-31Oct (Tuesday)
EMA-PUJ Fortnightly 10May-25Oct (Wednesday)

Crewing of these flts is supposed to be with BHX Flt Deck (only happened half of this summer due BHX flt deck shortage). Cabin crew are used from both BHX and EMA for these flights.

Most of these rotations are 'bullets' Mike, staying only overnight, and operating back to UK next day (mainly GLA), then position to home base. They are no 'jolly' rest assured and your following days off will be fully utilised recovering........

As previously posted EZY to end EDI on 30OCT.

WW to introduce a 3rd flight on weekdays (ex TUE) in the middle of the day.

WW making a big song and dance about "being the midlands' biggest LoCo", but all I can hear is "Blah blah blah blah I'm a dirty tramp!"

egnxema,

hmm take it you dont like the baby then!!

why shudnt we make a "big song and dance about being the midlands' biggest LoCo" - fact of the matter is WE ARE!!!

Im sure if we had pulled a major route for the airport, not one but two routes then they would be saying the same thing! EDI and GLA have always been important routes for the traveller, from the old BM to GO, but obviously u2 wernt making any money so theyve let them go - with pax preferring us to them i can truely understand why they made this decision.

remember that next time you need to go to scotland from ema and want a low cost flight - who you goin to choose??? and before you say eastern are far from low cost to abz

Cat amongst pigeons

Surely the Midlands' largest loco is Thomsonfly, with their operations at DSA and COV? To say nothing of the BY operations.

BHX and EMA aren't the only airports in the Midlands........

I guess this will now start a heated debate over whether Doncaster is in the Midlands or the North!

Calling DSA Robin Hood doesn't help the debate either

...and neither is Covilha which is in Portugal (which has the IATA code of COV)

Easyboy any more news when the last A319 is due to arrive at Ema ? I was in this morning but could only see two on the ramp unless the 3rd was hidden away somewhere.

bmibabyfc,

Morning mate. LOL. No, I don't particularly have strong feelings for or against WW EZY FR or BD. I frequently use both and can see different strengths, and weakness, each each ones product. At the end of the day one 737/a319 is pretty much the same as another, the thing that makes the difference is attitude, culture, and outlook of each airline.

One thing that has bugged a bit with WW is their continual chop and change of routes. I understand that economics rule in the end,but I find it interesting that FR are able to grow routes such as SNN and launch routes in the depths of France, but looking at WW history at EMA they have dropped routes like NCE, CDG, BCN, MUC, BGY.

Actually - it is just amusing to read the PR hype "were the biggest" "were committed to the midlands" etc etc. Most airline press releases are hyperbolic mush and statistical wizardry.
