[eghi r20]

Hello all
I have an f/o interview with BACitiexpress coming up on the 25th of November and will have to fly up on the day from Southampton to Manchester. My flight number is BA7731. Anyone know if its the dash 8 or Emb 145 ?

Thanks in advance

Dash 8 according to the BA websute. The ERJ-145 flies on the earlier flight on the day.

The flight will be operated by a Dash 8,

Good luck with your interview !

Sammie,

Get a hire car. We will have pulled off the route and sold the aircraft by then.
Good luck though.

Thanks alot peeps...

sounds like the dash then.............
fingers crossed it will go well.

if the route gets pulled should i get an (easy rent ) hire car
to park outside during the interview :O (nice reply CRAZY)

[osbo]

Take no notice of Crazy,

I think he's just trying to amaze us with his sarcastic wit.

Your flight will operate, no doubt.

Good luck.

sounds a bit much to expect you to fly the aircraft up yourself before you're even hired and not even tell you which one it is - how come MOL hasn't thought of that? :} :D

[eghi r20]

Well..... I was given the option to either fly myself up on a type not yet specified OR pay for a sim assessment like all the good airlines who like to charge would make us do !!
Well whats a guy to do !!;)



Thank god citiexpress does not rip off its potential f/crew like some of the others do !!
(ahhh a real company at last !!)

never been on a dash or had a citiExp interview !! Cant wait !!

It's normally a Dash-8 but due to GBRYW being out of service in ABZ (incident with a ground power unit!) it can either be a 145 on 146 depending on the crew situation. Out of all the Dash-8 sectors out of MAN the 7730/7731/7742/7743 and 7734/5/6/7 are
the easiest to cover.

We'll be lucky to see GBRYW before Christmas!

An despite all the bitching about the company in other posts, it's not all that bad! - good luck

[eghi r20]

thanks for the info Dash 7.

i have never been on a dash 8, 145 or 146...so bring it on!!
may help calm my interview nerves !!


i do hope the info in the financial times this week about BA
and cutbacks is a storm in a tea cup !!

fingers crossed for me & all current staff!!
all in all looks like a good place to work...

The stuff posted in the Times isn't anything new and all speculative. There will be changes and I'm confident they'll be for the better and long overdue. There are alot of people that have been moved from one type to another and relocated time after time (myself included). It's been tough and my loyalty has been tested but I'll always try and remain optomistic about the future. Always take what you read here with a pinch of salt.

Travelled as pax on the 7731 this morning. Embraer 145, cooked English breakfast on a 40 min. trip. Outstanding.

Usually it's a Dash-8. Same catering, noisier, bumpier and slightly longer flight, but all-round excellent service on this route.

Good luck with your interview.

You must be very wealthy to afford the ticket or have they payed for it.

[eghi r20]

hey guys.....n gals..


HZ 123 - rich i am not (self sponsor commercial pilot) after the tens of thousands of pounds spent, whats £125 for a shot at a dream job !!

Hi Roy, I love english breakfast, cant wait... should be a pleasure either way !!1st class service n all . cheers

Thanks Dash 7 - i guess this is the way the industry works, loyalties tested versus economic pressures !!

I bet you would not change a thing though !!

:ok:

[dwshimoda]

eghi,

Good luck with interview - let us know how you get on. My ideal goal is to fly BACX from Manchester once I finish my training... oh well - got to dream, it's the only way no to cry at the amount of time & oney that's disappearing rapidly!
