Silverjet are still advertising on cabincrew.com for cabin plus on their website.

40 per month, Blimey, I know you are expecting your second a/c any day but to be looking for 40 crew a month is some expansion.
Is it 40 to be recruited, or 40 candidates interviewed a month?

They said they wanted to employ 40 per month !! I think they said they would have 5 a/c by then and more routes but not 100 % on that.

I heard from LTN ATC when i popped up for a visit that SJ aircraft will be moved to there own dedicated area which is the Harrods aviation ramp by the harrods terminal.
If you not sure where that is, it is where all harrods private stuff park near/next to the old easyland HQ.

Ex BA recruitment for Silverjet

Dear Ian,

Just read your post. They took about four weeks to get back to me once I applied on line, then it was quick, quick, quick! I had my interview on 26th June and was offered the job on Monday 2nd July for a 30th July start date. I too am ex BA - longhaul crew (and over 40!) so no prejudice there. Good luck with everything and sit tight. You will hear something soon.

Snoop Service Co-ordinators!

Calling all SC's!! I have just been offered a job with Silverjet as an SC (they said I didn't have enough experience to be an IFM). Was just wondering if there is anyone out there who is an SC and wouldn't mind PM'ing me. I've got to make a decision this week and would like some help in making that decision!
Many thanks!!!

IFM Salary

Hi All,
I am a Cabin Service Supervisor with Virgin Atlantic and wondered what the salary for an IFM at SilverJet is. Currently I earn 1350 GBP per month after tax plus allowances of approx 300-500 GBP per month (tax free). Would an IFM earn more or less than this? I do 5 flights per month on average.
Also, I have been flying for 8 years with VS, 2 as a Supervisor, does this qualify me for the IFM role?
Thanks for any help.

Hi, well I have been flying for Virgin for 7.5 years and 2 years as CSS, but Silverjet wouldn't take me on as IFM as I didn't have enough 'management' experience and not on the correct aircraft (ie B767). They have offered me a position as a service coordinator though which is less money. However, I think the pay structure is a better one than Virgin's as you get £2.75 per hour from the point of check-in to the point you get off the aircraft and go home. This means you are paid for any delays - unlike Virgin! Hope this helps? Have you applied yet?

Cant believe you didnt get IFM with all your experience, the majority of our IFM's are from airlines such as qantas uk, ANZ uk & Emirates and I wasnt aware those airlines had 767's, very few of any of our crew have previous 767 experience. However congratulations on your SC role its just a shame someone with your experience who works for such a highly regarded airline can not join our IFM team.

I applied to Silver Jet for the role of IFM and have been told that I do not fulfill their criteria for IMF, however, they will consider me for Service Co-ordinator.

I have 12 years flying experience with a major charter airline, 8 years as an Inflight Manager. Also 8 years on and off with the Training Dept, and have been checked out on the 767 for 12 years. Before flying I was doing a Management Degree, before that I was in retail management. I assumed that I did not meet their criteria due to my lack of Business / First Class flying.

If I were to consider the role of Service Co-ordinator what is promotion like within the company once you have proved yourself? Or is there no promotion from within only direct entry.

The new aircraft is now flying to new york and is a very swish sight to behold inside, especially the new ladies powder room!

We are going to be flying double daily to new york in a few weeks and our new route will be announced in just a couple of weeks!

Exciting times ahead
