EUJet were offering interviews for last Wednesday at a LHR Hotel for the position of Inflight Base Manager for Kent. This position was advertised on aviation jobsearch although it didn't appear on their own web site - not sure what the result of those planned interviews were.

Some changes already!

Mon-Fri 2 x daily through services Manston and Shannon via Dublin

Milan airport is now Bergamo

Girona only served till 9th Nov. From 10th Barcelona Airport.

Are this crowd seriously recruiting ? Having sent my details months ago I am still no further to being invited for an interview or being rejected. All I get is e-mails saying "we are still evaluating applications"........

What is going on ?

Recruiting
 

They have surely been recruiting recently. There are now 10 second officers undergoing type rating in Amsterdam - we hope to start line training in 10 days. Dont justs end your details, everyone does that - if you want a job be persistent, thats how it works. Good luck Bacardi Walla

Let's celebrate the start of EUjet services tomorrow, 1st Sep. Two F100s are at Manston already, with the third arriving late tonight.

Best wishes to all in the company.

Best of luck to you boys and girls at EUJet!

I hope they don´t make such a mess like they did with the wet lease of a Fokker 100 to V Bird

roster on a 24 hour notice, at least four capt seriously considering moving(would have done so earlier but f100 rating worthless), senior management resigning, ops controllers also working notice, numerous rumours of bills not paid and v birds displeasure with them may be made official. Apart from that the grass roots people are great and I LURRRV it. (but will be very suprised if it lasts past christmas)

By any standards this is a risky venture. With EZY starting to struggle at LGW because od competition getting very much hotter EU Jet looks very exposed.

Aren't this shower supposed to commencing operations today from MSE? Seems like everyone is evacuating via the main exit even before it gets going.

Very low visibility in the media for the last 24 hours, cannot find any reference on the BBC website (or anywhere else much), so they don’t appear to be making a lot of noise and making the most of the Launch.

Very disappointed if they don’t feature on the SE News this evening.

Given the multiple challenges they face, I would guess they would have wanted as much exposure as they can?

Any news from those at the coalface?

Wish them luck, lets hope they pull it off

Hope it's going well.

It never made it as it diverted into LTN

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/kent/3616804.stm

So that's how they're saving money, the link shows a DC-8 being loaded with cargo!!!

You would have thought someone could have got hold of a shot of an F100, even if not one at MSE.

Any news on loads?

So died they actually launch today or what?

Their 'live flight info' page is interesting. It seems that it just links to their timetable. It stated that their first flight to AMS arrived on schedule at 0805 this morning, when in fact it was at 0859.
It then said that the return to Manston departed on schedule at 0850 which was 9 minutes before it landed in AMS.

Lots of media both Merdian NEWS and SE-Today
+ Radio Kent (For the Last Six Months)

RADIO KENT had a Desert Island Disc type program with EUJet Boss last Sunday. This Sunday they are Live from Manston.

Its also been on KFM and Invicta. IIRC KFM were giving away 50K with EUJET

+ Plus lots of Stuff in the Press.

LTNman
You are right!
Their "live flight info know how" is no more that their timetable (strange use of the word live , isn't it?), of no use to their customers unless ...they mean that notwithstanding what is published in their timetable, these are the flights actually operated for the day and in the next 48 hours :{

Than, shall we say their schedules are just a little bit flexible ... :E

EU-Jet Launch
 

Heard from a friend of mine who works ground ops at DUB, that EU-Jet innaugural flight arrived DUB today with 78 pax on board.

Flew on the first AMS flight yesterday morning approx 80 pax (didnt look as many on the DUB flight) Bizzare 5KG only weight limit for hand luggage, which only seems to apply at MSE, no questions asked at AMS.

Both aircraft scheduled for 06.15 departures but both had to wait for take off apparently London had lost our (AMS) flight plan. Finally arrived at gate at approx 08.55L 50 minutes late, did include driving up a dead end on to stand though :) Cabin crew will have to work hard to get the trolley service completed with the small flight time, the orbit over the North Sea gained them some extra time to tidy up after the pax.

Flew back on the 18.05 to MSE approx 30 pax again not really enough time to carry out the trolley service even with this ammount of pax! On arrival found the doors to arrivals locked :D Nice queue of pax, luckily nice and sunny though, nobody on passport contol either.

Hope they are able to make a success of operations out of MSE, its been turned in to quite a nice little terminal.
