anybody starting with thomas cook on 9th march LGW???
 

Hi! Just found out I start on the 9th March after a right hoo-ha with contracts not being sent! So far haven't seen anybody else starting so just trying to get my foot in the door before I turn up without a clue!

Lauren

I`ve been given that start date, but not sure if accepting as yet.

Hi Flying girl, yeah i've had a few calls from them as well. 2 of my ex employers have closed down so i've had to write to inland revenue to get employment dates! gettin so excited now though, just want to get started!

Hi, can any one tell me what the training is like with Thomas Cook? What can I expect etc. I start in 2 weeks and even though im excited im starting to get really nervous! thanks

Thomas Cook 9th March MAN training course
 

Hello! Is anyone here starting training in Cheadle with Thomas Cook on 9th March? I currently work in TCX Head Office and am really looking forward to the training and flying over the Summer!

Hi Helen, yes I start training for MAN then too! Can't wait, only two weeks to go now!

hey is anyone starting training at gatwick on march 30th????

JB,

When did they tell u about 30th?

Thanks

Tots

i got my letter about it this thursday just gone, how come? have you got that one to? xxx

hey can anyone give me some advice about the training do you get put up in a hotel like some other training corses?
Also for he 6 month summer contract is it strictly short haul or will a little bit of long haul be thrown in.
Any advice would be great.
xx

You don't get put in a hotel or anything, you have to make your own arrangements for accommodation. During the 6 months, you will only be on the short-haul aircraft but if you get put on the 757, you will have the opportunity to do little trips to the east coast of canada.

hey thanx for all the advice given its been really helpfull.
Something else i wanted to ask was, Im going to be relocating so im closer to Gatwick becasue im currently living in Bournemouth can anyone please give me any info at all about ertain areas which may be good to look at, thanx would be a great help. xxxx

Depends what you budget is. Maidenbower, Pound Hill and Worth are fairly nice to live in. Some areas of Ifield are also nice.

Bewbush is called the Ghetto though...

aww thanks for that info wil have a look soon, i just wanna be somewhere with good transport links cos I dont have a car at the moment so will be quite difficult me thinks, oh the stress of moving! lol xxxx

Crawley is well linked to Concorde House, Gatwick where you will need to get to. There are several 24 hour bus services, the train also runs from three bridges, crawley and Ifield stations to the airport and a taxi is about £5-6

you are actually a star thanx for all ur info really helped me out. xxx

Info pls...
 

Hey guys! would like to know if anyone knows what a typical roster at BHX base is for first timers.

hi i would like to ask if somebody knows how to apply for thomas cook caz in the web site there´s nothing about....pls HELP!!!

Hey i was wondering if i could have any advice, I recieved a letter at the beginning at the month that sad i was accepted for the training course on the 30th march. I filled in all the forms and sent them off> I still havnt recieved the forms to sort out references (although i called them about it a few days ago) and i havnt been given any info about the first day so i dont know what time i start or where im going. has this happend to anyone else yet? xxxxx

:Ohey i am transferring from bfs this yr to gatwick! just wondered if anybody nos alot about crawley i am moving over there and havnt got a clue about anything!!

Hey i was wondering if anyone is starting their training for the summer season on monday?

Also does anyone know what the hours are like for training like how long and what time off you have because all i've been given is what time i start on my first day and nothing else.

Then the last thing, with the criminal records check it says i needed to have sent it off four weeks before my trianing date but they only sent me this letter last friday, I rang them and all they said was get it done as quickley as possible but do you think it will affect anything.

Sorry about the essay as you can see im getting worried. any help would be great thankyou xx

Thomas Cook recruitment Summer 2009
 

Hi,

I have applied for Cabin Crew Gatwick for summer 2009 and although the closing date was April 23rd I haven´t heard a word yet. Just wondering if anyone else have heard back...

Hi, I would think you have missed interviews but dont take my word for it, give them a ring. I am on the next training course 25th May at Gatwick. Dont think they will do any more for this summer, but like I said, give them a ring, things change in this industry every week.

roster pattern
 

Hi Everybody,

Hoping somebody might be able to shed some light on what a typical monthly roster pattern might look like for the LGW base. In particular it would be great to know how duty days are blocked together vs days off as well as whether you are rostered for day trips or whether you do actual tours of duty with overnights.

Thanks heaps for anything you might be able to tell me.

Do you know if this is seasonal contact or permanent?
I'm in the full time position with different airline and don't want to risk my job... I know you first need to get the job but anyway

All positions are seasonal temp contracts for summer 2010.

Are you sure. When I applied they said it was full time permament? If so then no thanx
