I have a question concerning the salary. It´s 10,500 per annum plus 2.35 per flight hour, ok. How much is it per month? I am Spanish and cabin crew salaries don´t work that way in here, I don´t understand it sorry

firstly it would depend on how many hours you did in a month to work out your flight pay.then you would also need to figure out tax.
so
£10,500 per year = £875 per month
say you did 6 trips a month,each trip being 50 hours
6 x 50 = 300 hours
300 hours at £2.35 per hour = £705
so...
salary of £875 + flight pay of £705 = £1580 per month BEFORE TAX
tax deductions would then depend upon whether you are resident of the UK or spain,and the tax rate on the hourly flight pay.

no worries 
im looking at silverjet myself,i emailed them a few days after 3rd november when their last closing date was for applications and explained my predicament (i am BA Connect crew) but they wouldnt accept it
but will keep my cv on file for the next round,apparently to be in early 2007.
it sounds like a good outfit,would i be right in thinking so?i know it hasnt started ops yet,but is all so far so good?

Its certainly looking good at the moment. The developments are all very positive. They are now linked with a cruise company doing flights to connect with transatlantic cruises, which is another good thing alongside buying out Flyjet and Skylease which hopefully shows they're fairly secure financially- it also secured the AOC and the worldwide route license so that helped speed things up a bit.
The communications from them so far have been great and it's all looking good at the moment, of course you can never tell but I think it's looking very positive.
Start training next Monday which I can't wait for and the launch flight is on 25th January. Training course looks good and the service and products onboard sound like they're going to be great aswell, all that's on the website.
I think it's definately worthwhile considering, I'm sure you'll hear more once we've all started training etc but it will be pretty exciting.
I would imagine the recruitment will open agan reasonably soon as there is 2 more aircraft coming next year so it shouldn't be long!
Good luck and I say go for it! PM me if you wanna know anymore!

I was having a look at the Silverjet website and really impressed with who the directors etc are and operations director and marketing etc, all with a wealth if experience of starting new things and having impacts on routes and growth for some very influential airlines that have come along way like Virgin. I know that some airlines have flopped straight away like Now airways but then if anyone went for the assessment there that was no big suprise. I think that with the gap that they are trying to bridge in aviation and location etc I have a feeling that it is going to be a huge success and really exciting for anyone that is joining them - well done everyone that has been offered positions

Tiggerific- they have one 767-200 from the take over of Flyjet at the moment and then there is 2 more joining the fleet next year from Thomsonfly, at least one if not both in the early part- around March time I think.
And Flying-Again, thanks for your comment it does sound great I'm really excited- as if you can't tell!! Who knows what's going to happen in the future but if you don't know you don't try!!
Take care everybody!

Silverjet interview
Hi everybody....
I am from Germany and got invited at the end of november to an interview...I am very happy I got invited although I am quite scared. I've never taken an interview in Great Britain and I would like to know if you guys have any 'formal' rules. I also speak American English and I am a little afraid of the British accent... Maybe you guys could give me some hints for the interview? Will there be any tests? I worked for other airlines before, and they did tests about basic knowledge of the country,language, math. Also I read about the 2 on 1 interview in this forum...How's that gonna work?Anything special to watch out? I'd be happy if sombody could help me a little. Thank you aleady....

Your financial calculations appear to have overlooked one very important regulatory issue. Don't forget the max legal flying hours per annum is 900 for Cabin Crew & pilots. The round trip to New York in a 767 will be near enough to 15 hours; thus the maximum number of trips per year will be 900/15 = 60. Or 5 trips on average per month.
Removing leave (4 weeks per year is UK legal minimum, for details see http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si2004/20040756.htm) your max would average 5.5 trips per working month). In any case 60 trips per annum will be your absolute legal maximum and may be difficuly to achieve.
If the average trip duration is 50 hours (bet it is less) then the maximum flying allowances per year will be 60 x 50 x £2.30 = £6900 or only £575 per month!!
Thus the absolute maximum monthly salary before tax could be only: £875 + £575 = £1450

Interview At Last
At last I have secured myself interview for the 1st of December!!! Yipee
I have had a look at the web site and it looks fantastic!!
Also I have read all the post which have been placed on this thread however I do have one question? So if anyone out there can answer it for me I would be much appreciated.
Basically, I applied for a position as IFM as I have much experience in this area, however the email I received from Kate did not state which position I will be interviewed for.
Do I need to email her and ask her which position I am being interviewed for or will they already know this?
Sorry if this a silly question but if I need to get incontact with Kate before the interview date then more notice I give the better.
Best of luck to you all!

Annual leave
Preppy I don't know where you're getting your facts from re annual leave. Why do you think it's 35 days? The minimum is 4 weeks ( 20 days ) plus 8 bank holiday days which makes a total of 28 days.

Oneroam,
I can't say forsure how it will work now but the way they did it last time round was regardless of which position you applied for everyone were interviewed together and when you do your 2 2 1 interview you tell the interviewers which position you would like to be taken into concideration for. Then they decide whether you are suitable or not. Hope this helps.
