Does anyone know how many crews CF are operating per aeroplane?

towser 20th Aug 2010 08:10

Flasheart; Not enough!! I believe its under 4 crews per aircraft.

Hi

Is there anybody out there who is cabin crew who can give me a few pointers about rosters, take home pay etc. Please pm me if you wouldn't mind. Thank you

If you guys are so short of crews, any rumours of recruitment soon?
Sounds like the perfect job to me, City is a great little airport, london is fun. Touring rosters, charters, good staff travel and the Embraer to fly! Perhaps not perfect for families or older people but I cant see why a young single captain would ever leave.
Grass is always greener I suppose but I know lots of people who would kill for a CF job.

Yeah I think you already said that Chris!

Wikipedia, which is hardly an authority is saying about loads of new BA CF routes from LHR to the likes of Exeter and Leeds!

It can't be true??

Regards

A. It's indeed not a reliable source.
B. It has been deleted from the page.
C. The Unions would not have allowed it, not in a million years. (either LHR or even LGW)
D. No aircraft and crew to do it anyway.

If it had been from LGW I would have given them a 0.01% credibility rating. But even that would have had major implications. Don't even mention LHR. You hardly get any acknowledgement going through LHR as pos crew anyway. As we're not 'real' BA. Yet we do the more challenging flying...:ugh:

DB - do the 'real' BA crew flying the A318 out of your back yard play nicely? :O

I was talking to a 'real' BA Captain (short haul) from LHR a month or so ago about BACF and he was very complimentary and a little bit jealous of your new toys! Must just be some stuck up lot. :ok:

The JFK crews dont even use the official staff search at LCY so does that answer your question?

LCY Speed
 
'I have done aircraft steps at Gate 2 to hand on a taxi door outside in less than 60 seconds (I actually stopwatched it).

WHBM - You have beaten my record. I had done it in 90 seconds so hats off to you!

Looks like it was touchdown after the lights.

Just seen an advert on the telly for british airways flights to edinburgh using the brand new fleet of aircraft from London City Airport, accompanied by pictures of said new shiny aircraft....

Can anyone confirm that CF are planning a new route from Fairoaks to LCY, so I can get to work ?

BAladdy 10th Sep 2010 00:06

LCY-CPH launch delayed
 
BACF have delayed the launch of their new CPH service to 21st September.

The route was due to start on 12th Sept.

Anybody know the reason for the delay??

DutchBird-757 10th Sep 2010 08:01

News to me. I figure that it will be due to low crew levels. Lot's of (line) training going on right now, including new skippers. So they may need those cause the PMI/IBZ are still operating as well.
