Bluestream
Did you read the job description when you applied for the job? it's MAS (who have Citation Bravo and Excel aircraft- they don't have permanant cabin crew on just occassionally when the client/broker requests) and being rebranded into Bluestream when they acquire their 4 x CL604's!
The head of cabin service is an ex-Britsh Airways CSD - how much experience does she have in Corporate/Executive VVIP aviation in a single cabin crew operation? and they've recruited a bunch of ex-BA cabin crew so there's just a couple of spaces left for the 15 days on 15 days off rotation. The flight crew have come from Global Jet and Twinjet.
If you've been invited to interview/meeting good luck.
You won't find any other crew who can tell you about the conditions because basically the Company isn't up and fully running as Bluestream yet - training must be starting soon as it all kicks off Jan08

Interview dilemma
Hi Everybody!! Have been invited for the interview for cabin crew with Bluestream and would appreciate if anyone could give some information on their selection process, company environment and work conditions. The thing is that i am not from UK and have to travel for the inteview so i just want to make sure that this is not a waste of time. Thanx

So let me see if I got this right, people are leaving Twinjet to go to an outfit that dont actually have any airplanes yet?..
What gives?
Can somebody PM the lowdown on this as I am currently looking at new job offers as a 604 driver.

Hold on a minute, a permanent contract 15 days on 15 days off (isn't that almost part time work !!) at 18k with Flight Pay.
I'm not sure just how bad that is.
Well it couldnt be that bad, I hear they had over 500 applications !!!

So funny... Actually in any kind of jobs, I don't know many for work full time (28 days to 31 days a month, 12 months of the year).Seriously though, do you really mean that ?
For a full time VIP ops, 18ks is on the low side. Unlike in most airlines, VIP CCs are true company representatives and will spend more time than anyone else looking after the customer.
Clients get to really appreciate their services, often request particular ones they trust and surely, enjoy continuity. Definitely a crew member you should look after...

OK, so slightly tongue in cheek.
It doesnt get away from the fact that for the two or three disgruntled voices on this forum, there are hundreds who will accept those terms and conditions.
I'm not sure anyone could say that BlueStream pay below industry salaries, just ask one of their Captains !!
