[I Just Want To Fly]

Everyone will be pleased to know that the Boeing Strike is over. Which means we will be on track to start fling in January. Crew are now being offered places for December ground schools.

For people who have not applied yet, the next intake is not likely to be until March 2009.

March 2009

Thanks for the info 'I just want to fly'.

I fly with another airline at the moment as was hoping to hear when the next intake might be.

Would you have any figures on how many crew they're looking to recruit?

Cheers!

[I Just Want To Fly]

Well the current intake up to April is 260, so I would imagine it would be a similar number over the the next 18 months, as long as there are no further delays to a/c delivery.

update

Hi anyone had an update email from V?
received the email in nov 08 which was ----- i will get another email regarding medical check in early next year, however the one I received yesterday was ---- currently reviewing all applications & recruitment needs for 2009 and keep in touch again after reviewing my application and let me know the outcome of review & maybe required to take part in a short tel interview again???
Do they employ less F/A now due to some reasons???
Thanks

Probably got all recruitment on-hold now until aircraft arrives and they start flying. Most airlines have a recruitment freeze at the moment and additional crew will only be given start dates if they are needed.
