Aer Lingus
Hey Guys,
Sent my CV off for consideration for the Aer Lingus Temp job out of Dublin. I was wondering, as I'm English and presently live in England do you think this will be a problem when taking into consideration the amount of Irish people who must be applying?
Just curious to know.
Thanks in advance.

Doubt it would be a problem, there are currently all kinds of nationalities at EI including some of your fellow countrymen. As far as I know it's an 11 month contract, money is average and you have occasional overnights in London. You could do a lot worse than EI.
Might be worth a call to follow up your CV as the HR crew don't move very quickly

Sorry about that! EI is the IATA code for Aer Lingus. Similarly FR is the code for Ryanair etc. Lots more info on airline codes and callsigns at http://www.airlinecodes.co.uk/

Crewboy, take it from someone who started his career with Aer Lingus (back in the good old days when the service was great and the company made massive losses!!!) and even did a quick stint in its recruitment department...RING THEM!!! They love people who take the initiative to actually call the company by phone. The airline has barely heard of email internally so dont expect a reply to an email. The fact that you would be calling from the UK may mean even more stars next to your name!!!

The interview will be at EI head office at the airport and there are a few hotels immediately adjacent to it (Clarion and Great Southern) however they are airport hotels. If you are successful at the interview they will send you for a medical in a town called Malahide not far from the airport (and subsequently my home town) which is really nice and pretty by the seaside and with a good hotel there called the Grand. You can catch a bus to the airport for about €2. You can also get the train from Malahide into the city center in about 20 minutes so its a nice little place to base yourself. And if your feeling really adventurous, just further along the coast road from the Grand (About 3 minutes in a taxi) is a dodgy nightclub called tomangoes where all the aer lingus heads hang out cos it gives an airline discount!!

Wow, that brings back memories from when Raphy Burke saw fit to tell us what radio we could listen to, closed down the pirate stations, and gave new broadcasting licences to all his mates...
"Sunshine 101FM and 539m medium wave, broadcasting from the Sands hotel with Tomangoes, where the gang goes!"
I gather the last twenty minutes of Sunshine radio, complete with blow by blow commentary by the owner, Robbie Robinson, of the police breaking in and confiscating the transmitters is still broadcast weekly on some Dublin pirate stations.
Anyway back on track...
We called it 'Joe Mango's', or 'Joe Manky's', or even "Tomangang, where the gang bang!" It was heaving cattle market of dump of a place when I lived nearby, and I gather it's no better now. I can't say I ever enjoyed any time spent in there. I don't like my home city much but there are much better ways to spend a drunken evening of debauchery than in that dive.

Hi guys and gals
Sorry to pull this up from page 2
but I didn't want to be starting a new thread when there was one so recent...
Do EI have crew based out of ORK is it this something else I've managed to misunderstand?

I notice (as with every other airline) its fixed term - any idea with the likelihood of positions being available after said contract is up?
