Training... No Idea....
Company... Long hours... Rude customers... Safe fleet... Nice colleagues... Most lilkely be let go atthe end of the season.... Make the most of it and enjoy it and wear that pink shirt with pride !!! Being perfectly honest FCA / AMM will always have a fond place with me.... All in all a good bunch of people From crew to Flight deck to Engineering to OPS... All cool

Thanks for that. It sounds pretty much like my other airlines, and pink is def my colour. Looking forward to it.
I knew that it was only summer contract am hoping though that if i work hard no lateness etc that maybe I would be kept on !!
Or be asked back what do you think XXxx

I really couldnt give a plausable answer to that however I would hope that if you were to show loyalty then the gesture would be returned by your CC Manager.... Safe flying...

Just a quick question, probably wrong place to post, but does anybody know how long the summer contract with FCA is, and an approx start/end date? Weird question I know, but can't find the info on their site

First Choice
I started at First Choice LGW last April and can honestly say that I had a fantastic summer, the training is a blast and the crew are all fab. Just see it for what it is and don't get your hopes up to be kept on because as was mentioned before, this will be there fourth year of not taking anybody on after the season so there are literally loads of returners ahead of you if by any chance they do decide to keep a select few on this year!
You will have a fab season though and as long as you keep your nose clean then theres every chance of being asked back again next year and then you get to go long haul so its well worth it.
I've just been succesful with getting a job at Virgin so I won't be going back to FCA but I will miss everyone loads!!

Hi Flyboy
My contract is for 6 months starting on the 27th. It does say in my contract that it can be made longer or shortened.
Hope this helps. R U starting also?

i'm starting training at bristol base on apr 3rd. they have told us that the approximate end date will be october 31st, but this could be shorted or lengthened depending on flight numbers/pax numbers etc i presume.
I'm really looking forward to it, even if it is just a summer contract it's all experience and they seem like a really good company to work for. good luck with the training!! has anyone started their e-learning yet? it's all a bit daunting! I'm worried they'll spot test us on it all at some point during training!

Hi crewboy
The interview process was really good. The recruiters were very friendly and put you at ease.
Prepare for your interview with research on the company, and for the test just refresh on your percentages and currency conversions.
I have attended some awfull assessment days and this was really fun.
Go be yourself and try and enjoy it.
All the best for you
Fingers crossed GOOD LUCK
let me know how it goes maybe we will be flying together this season XX
