Aer Lingus wannabes & recruitment

[willby]

Hi,
which union i.e. Siptu or Impact represents the majority of cabin crew in Aer Lingus. Would also appreciate any info/advice which would be the best choice for a new employee.
Thanks.
Willby

[INLAK]

IMPACT represents about 90% of the cabin crew. Stay away from Siptu, they're nothing but a bunch of radical left-wing Marxist trouble makers!

[apaddyinuk]

In comparison to IMPACT who are passive, like it up the backside unprotected, mates of management! LOL!

In jest, in jest!!! Sort of! :}

[S-crew'd]

Majority of new recruits seem to go with Impact, however during your training you should get an opportunity to meet reps from both SIPTU and Impact. Either way you have to sign up with one of them.

[willby]

Hi All,
Thanks for the info. Impact seems to be the winner then.

Hi Guys

can anyone tell me what the senior rate of pay and flight pay is for Aer Lingus?
Does anyone know what the interview is like for a senior?

thanks
nat xx

[apaddyinuk]

Natters you will have to wait and see for a while on this one. Aer Lingus intend on bringing in all the BFS based crew on a new contract which is less then the DUB/SNN/ORK/LHR bases. No details have been released yet although the Irish based pilots are fighting the legality of it at the moment!

[CallBell]

I would imagine the senior for BFS base will be tough enough as the staff will be direct entry seniors, with no previous work history with EI. Current staff at the bases can find it hard to get promotion, so i would expect it to be a lot tougher in BFS. Expect a grilling on motivation, examples of, leadership, teamwork, problem solving, discipline etc etc but all from a Senior perspective...

[WexCan]

Anyone been for a Senior interview yet? Been told they'll be inviting me soon-ish but they don't have an exact date yet.

Seems they're a bit low on Senior applications - despite 1100 applications for 100 jobs, apparently most of the cabin crew applications have been from people who haven't flown before so they're asking pretty much everyone with the required experience to interview for Senior.

Aerlingus Interviews and recruitment process?

Q&A:D All welcome

Does anyone have any answers to when Ei are recruiting again i have been waiting for a interview since the last recruitment drive!:hmm:

i have a few friends that got giving a interview and got the job, but they have been told that the training date will be FEB! is anyone else waiting for a training date?

does anyone know how soon before will the recruiting start if the courses are starting in feb? would have to be dec-jan right?

well please reply as i so want in on AERLINGUS BABY

[CallBell]

Best advice is to keep an eye on the aerlingus.com website. No doubt there will be recruitment again but nothing definite on dates.....
Best of Luck

Just a few questions about Aer Lingus for anybody in the know:

How often does recruitment take place? Are T&C for the new BFS base considerably worse than DUB? How are money and rosters? Can crew go p-time after a certain while if they provide a good reason? Any additional payments for trained nurses or language speakers?

Thanks for any help. I'm sure these questions will help a number of people besides myself, so all help is appreciated.

[johnrizzo2000]

I think recruitment will commence in Jan. T & C are worse for the BFS base. I cant speak for BFS, but DUB rosters are good, but it depends on whether you are operating Europe, Transatlantic or both. You can apply for part-time in DUB after a few years, but it goes on seniority. I cant see part-time coming up for a long time in BFS. Nurses, language speakers etc, dont get extra money]

Hope that helps

[Ms Inquisitive]

[rare_flower01]

Hey,
Does anyone out there know what contract terms are there for new cabin crew in Aer Lingus?

I heard they can give you a 6, 9 or 12 mth contract twice before you can be made permanent. Is this true?
I'm hoping to join soon but the 'renewing Temporary Contract' thingy is putting me off as I would like to have a permanent job in a yr or 2 so i can get a mortgage. (u know they wont give it unless u got a permanent job)

If anyone has details please let me know thanks,

rare_flower01

[ajwajw]

I have applied for the cabin crew positions at LGW with Aer Lingus. Does anyone know what dates the interviews are due to take place?

Many thanks

[mairead55]

Hi i'm also interested in appying at gatwick. Can anyone give information regarding a typical working month with Aer lingus? Any overnights? Montly pay? How many flights per month. early starts? Any chance of long haul?

Many thanks in advance

[G-TTIC]

Interviews will most likely be in February for courses beginning in March. This would fit in with both the late January application cutoff and the April base opening.

Terms and conditions for LGW worse than for the same positions at DUB. Pay poor for cabin crew but reasonable for senior crew. Commission 8% divided between crew on domestic/RoI flights, 10% on others. Sector pay fully taxed. Basic pay at 80% during training.

No nightstops planned for summer 2009 though this could change. Also no plans for long haul at the moment.

Every airline has early starts and this will be no exception. You will work two and four sector days, as far as I am aware there is no fixed roster pattern.

[thefieldings]

India Charlie A-321!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh I miss this aircraft and the company as well!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
Aer lingus is probably still better than EZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mairead55]

Thanks for reply. Any more EI cabin crew have opinions on what its like to work for this company? Any chance of recruitment at any Irish base in 2009?

[johnrizzo2000]

LGW base will be like BFS base, which is lower terms than DUB, ORK and SNN base, but on par with the likes of EZY etc. Basic pay isnt great, but can be made up, depending on your flights etc.

I think people think this is unfair and arent happy with it, because DUB base etc, have better conditions, but the truth is, it isnt that bad, and they are still good to work for.

Long-haul ex LGW is rumoured, but who knows when, and in this economic climate, it might not be for awhile. No overnights planned, only DUB and SNN base do overnights at the moment.

A typical working month is impossible to say, and thats what being cabin crew is all about! :p Earlies means starting very early, lates means landing at unsociable hours!!

[Off Stand]

I have an interview for direct entry senior on Thursday afternoon. Any ideas what I should expect?

[sandra7]

I have applied for a cabin crew attendant position at Gatwick but I have not heard anything I know the closing date was Friday 23rd of January but does anyone know the recruitment telephone number at Dublin Airport for Aer lingus.

[S-crew'd]

You could try (from UK) 00353-818-365022

[noseyboy]

hey, does anyone no anything about the Cabin Crew Base Managers position - have interviews started yet? has the position been filled?

good luck to all those who applied for a job.

nBoy

[Ollie1]

People should start getting interviews now, I was called yesterday and have interview on the 5th feb for main crew.

[CallBell]

Any chance of recruitment at any Irish base in 2009?

Any new recruits to Irish bases will be on newer less favourable rates than existing staff at those bases...

[Lola3]

Is anybody going for an interview with Aer Lingus on Thursday?

[Ollie1]

Yes, i am, mine is at 9 when is yours?

[Lola3]

Hey Ollie1,
That's great. Mine is at 10.
Have you had airline experience?

[Ollie1]

Ye worked for XL last year, was my first flying job, really want to get back into, i enjoyed it so much. What about you?
Have you recieved an email from them yet?

[Lola3]

Hey!!
Yeah, I used to work for Ryanair...!!
No, I haven't received an email yet. Have you? I tried calling them today because of that and also about the weather conditions in the UK but there was no reply.
I am living in Spain at the moment...I fly to Gatwick on Wednesday, I hope it won't be cancelled due to the snow!

[Ollie1]

Im still waiting for my email too, cant get through to them either. I think the weather should be a little better by then, (i hope!).
Im really looking forward to this interview, cant wait to fly again, hopefully will be soon, I have missed it so much.

[purmus]

Hi guys

I was wondering if someone could pm me the tel number. I was called for interview and was told it would be next week. I haven't received the email confirmation yet either and don't have the tel to contact them. Seems I'm the only one who has the interview next wed so just wanted to call to clarify.

Thanks

[Ollie1]

Hi purmus, mine only came yesterday and my interview is on thurs. You will prob get it a couple of days before hand like me and Lola. What day is yours?

[diamond1]

Hi Permus, im in the same situation im sure they are very busy with applicants and will send out emails soon. Interview for myself is also next wednesday.:)

[hunkydorys]

Hi Guys,

[CrawleyLad]

Hey People

I was looking for tips on what the itnerview will maybe be like as there hasnt been much giving away about

Thank You!

P.S) Also what is the males unifrom like

[CrawleyLad]

Hey People

How is everyone doing

I was wondering how the folk got on who had interviews last week

I have one coming up this week but was just wondering what the interview day is like...

Really am looking forward to this and keeping my fingers crossed for it

x x

p.s) can anyone tel me what the males unifrom is like aswel, please!

[BusinessMan]

If it's for cabin crew then you may get a better response on the cabin crew forum...:ok:

[Ollie1]

Hi, CrawleyLad, I had mine last Thursday went well, basically when you first get there you got a disclosure scotland form etc to fill out, and then you go and have a 2 to 1 interview. Once thats done the other EI crew member will collect in all your documents.

The uniform is quite nice, looks good.

[CrawleyLad]

Cheers for getting back to me... how long are you needin to waitin for your out-come

I take it to be then all it is, is a 2-2-1 interview... i guess there is just alot of customer service questions asked?

Cheers Again

[Ollie1]

Ye, thats all it is, quite a lot of customer service questions but i think thats normal for an airline interview. They said we should be waiting a couple of weeks, but the first training course is at the beginning of march so i would think it would be soon.
Good luck with yours :)

[EI-CFC]

http://www.bfk.ie/files/2008/20080516084821_AL_ccrew2_650.jpg

gives an idea of the male uniform.

Have to say EI's uniforms have stood the test of time considering they are a good decade on the go.

[Emily88]

Hi Ollie,

I had my interview last thursday as well. Have you heard back from them yet? I had a phone call this morning inviting me to a medical tomorrow? Does this mean if we pass the medical we go onto the training course? Not really sure how it works as she didnt give me many details! Im taking it as a positive thing tho?!

xx

[cjpm21]

Anyone know what stage they are at with recruiting Seniors? And have they recruited a base cabin crew manager yet?

[Ollie1]

Hi emily, that could be positive, I havent had that call yet, I wonder if anyone else has, wot time was your interview? mine was at 9, used to work for xl.

[dubh12000]

Did they tell you guys about the intensive Irish language course you must complete?



:cool:

[Emily88]

Hi Ollie

I think we were in the same interview time as mine was at 9 too...? I think i sat next to you and we both used the tippex for the disclosure scotland! lol!

well they called back earlier and asked if i would be availale to start the training course on the 2nd if i passed medical and security, so fingers crossed.

Hope you get the call too, sounds like they are quite rushed so you might not get the call untill day before or something?

Let me know how u get on :-)

xx

[hunkydorys]

Has anyone an idea what the basic pay is please? thanks & best of luck to everyone!

[Ollie1]

Oh, i remember u now emily lol, im glad you got ur date anyway, still waiting for the call, praying i will get it, but nothing today either so hopefully some time soon
xx

[hunkydorys]

Can i ask yet AGAIN if anyone knows the Basic Salary on offer or not. People are ignoring the question i asked. A proper reply would be much appreciated.

[Emily88]

Hi ollie

Glad you remember, lol! had my medical today, i'd never had one before, was pretty intense! lol im now really worried i didnt pass... struggled on the reach test so im really anxious to know :-( I hate this waiting! I bet you do too! Im sure you will find out soon, good luck- did u say you were available for the 2nd March training course?
xx

[Ollie1]

Ye i did, Im available to start tomorrow lol, dont need any notice :)

[Hannahvp]

Hi Emily I saw you have already received a call back from Aer Lingus regarding the cabin crew job. When did was your interview?
I had one on the wednesday of last wk and haven't heard anything yet.

Hannah :)

[Emily88]

Hi Hannah

I had my interview last thursday and they called me for a medical on monday. I had it yesterday, and just waiting to hear if i passed or not! agh! I think the reason they were so quick with me was because I said i was available immediatly as im not working at the moment! But we will see what happens next.

How do u feel your interview went? Have you flown before? Good luck with it all! :-)

xx

[Ollie1]

I said that too at mine LOL

[SouBE]

So what forum is this then?

[bouquet]

hi all has anybody heard anything about aerlingus cabin crew recruitment dublin based? would really appreciate any info anybody has? lol

[CallBell]

Not sure there are plans at the moment for DUB base recruiting. Most of the training for a while will be for LGW based crew. Plus they will probably make the cabin crew on fixed terms permanent before recruiting again. But keep your eye on the website for any announcements.

[CrawleyLad]

Anyone else been giving start date for this monday... very short notice only been giving 3days notice but its on cabincrew.com

Does anyone know if Aer Lingus do a whole 5 History Check on you, even if you have held a BAA pass or do the just fill in the gaps since you last had the pass?

[Emily88]

hey Crawleylad

Are you starting training this monday? When did u hear back from your medical? I had my medical on tuesday and havnt heard anything back yet :-/ got told that if i passed medical and security i would start training on the 2nd March tho now im wondering why i havnt heard back yet! agh!

Take Care :-)

xx

[Emily88]

P.s-- I think they still need your 5 year history! xx

[hunkydorys]

What's the basic salary on offer ?

[Emily88]

Hey

Anyone else start training on the 2nd? Had it confirmed today! So excited!! :-)

xx

[Ollie1]

Well done! im still waiting to hear anything lol

[flying cat]

bouquet keep a close eye on the website. also it wouldnt hurt to contact human resources. the rumours are that there will be significant recruitment in the cabin crew department dublin base.

[Jillytots]

Hiya,

Anyone heard anything who went to interview between 16-20 Feb???

Cheers.

Tots. :rolleyes:

[Murkle-1]

[clarita]

CLOSING DATE FOR APPLICATIONS WAS ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO..........ALSO WHEN WOULD BE A ROUGH TIME ESTIMATE FOR YOU TO HEAR IF YOU HAVE BEEN SUCCESFUL?....like as in general when do you normally hear back?

Thanks to all

[glider12000]

I know of 2 successful applicants...

[Crew_Girl_2]

Did anyone else have an interview at LGW thursday 16th? I haven't heard anything not sure if that's good or bad.

In the interview they said It can take 4-6 weeks for an outcome however they have been calling people back the next day so now i am unsure.

Would appreciate if someone from thursday's interview could let me know if they've had any feedback and been told they've got the job? Waiting 4-6 weeks would be extremely difficult! :rolleyes:
Thanks alot!

[millie b]

hi when did you apply? for that position...

[Crew_Girl_2]

I applied in the first week of July. The closing date was July 6th at 5pm!
