Sorry to hear about your new Vanilla. Am sure you will have an excellent time overseas with MYT. I have been working for Thomson overseas for the past 5 years, and loved every minute of it!
I received my letter from Britannia this morning, and it advises about the "pool", and that they will be in contact in the New Year.
Anyone else out there heard anything ?

Hi guys,
I did my open day at Luton airport in October and got through all stages. A week later found out I was accepted and was put in the holding pool (the worst part!)
Just found out today that my contract starts on Jan 11th until Oct 31st. Only bad thing is, is that I have to have my contract signed and posted back to them by tomorrow and only received it today. Worse still is that I am in the States visiting my parents and can't get it back in time so hope all will be alright!
Out of interest is anybody looking at house sharing in Gatwick, if so let me know, otherwise I'm looking for a box to live in LOL! Have roughly 3 weeks to find digs, ain't that nice!!
Hope others that are waiting have good news and have a good Christmas and New Year!

Just to say guys n gals that I have been at BY just short of a year.. was one of the VERY lucky few to be given a permament contract straight away
and i have to say that everything about the company is great, I have had brilliant times, including trips too far away places with a decent amount of time over there.
Hope you all have a good time, if anyone needs any help feel free to PM/e-mail me.

Thomson Fly Staff
Hi!
I have been offfered a job with Thomson Fly at Bournemouth as senior cc, but i am in two minds as i do not really know what the company is like to work for.
Also they are unable to advise me of a wage yet as contracts are in discussions under the tui umbrella.
Does anyone work for them or know of a rough wage guestimate? Also, roster patterns, sectors..... etc etc.........
All info would be greatly appreciated as have to let them know if im going to take the job.
Many thanks and happy flying

Hi
I have just joined TOM at CVT, not sure what seniors earn SORRY, as they couldn't offer me a senior position as none available
Only been on-line a few weeks and found the rostering etc. very fair! But will have to keep you posted on that........ you know what rosters are like! But at the moment I've generally had 4 days flying then days off!
Things are still be thrashed out at the mo with the union and BY to reach an agreement for us all to get the same terms and conditions!
Sorry can't be of more help! But hope you decide to join us, and I see you on-line!

to myflybhx!
How many sectors do you do on your days on? and how many days off? sorry know what you said about rosters.
Also, is it true that the flight pay of £6 per hour is taxable and only paid when you are in the air not on the ground?
If you could let me know what your average weekly flight pay is it would be much appreciated.
Its so confusing jumping ship.

Application Forms
Hi
The application and reference forms used to be able to be available for download on the website - but not anymore !!!
I think they will be sent via email to you - as they are only pdf files.
I have the blank application form on pdf if you would like it - just send me a private message with your email address and I will send it straight to you.
Cant find the reference form - but will have a look for it on my hard drive !!
Good luck for the open day
