Hi guys,,, Notice a few of you mention that you commute to/from work with Silverjet.
Have they provided you with a quiet room somewhere in your crew centre??? Please please be very careful when driving home, even stopping on a layby somewhere can be dangerous. Just make sure you do not get in that car with fatigue falling over you. We have far too many sad stories here at BA regarding that.
Best of luck to you all, must admit that Silverjet does sound rather tempting but the commute from Dublin to Luton wouldnt be as easy as LHR! LOL!

Hi Silverjet Guys
Was at work this morning Sat 3/3 (EZY at LTN) and noticed a thompson Fly 767 pull up on stand just after 7am, and a silverjet bus pull up and take the pax to the terminal and there was no silverjet a/c on the ground at that time as normal. Then at 1pm when i finished there were people waiting to collect pax from the 7.10 flt from that morning
What Happened?
Just being nosey

Hey Adamski,
not sure what the situation with the silverjet bus being used to the thomsonfly a/c... the inbound flight on the 3rd was delayed due to a medical emergency divert back into Newark in the early hours of sat am... our flight took off again just before 3, so we had a slight delay, due to turnaround times though we made the time up before the return flight that night... nothing major to report I'm afraid, just one of tose inflight situations...

Nice funky Video.
Sorry SJ Guys but I have a moan for SJ.
This is not exactly crew related, but it is SJ related.
My wife applied to SJ 4 weeks ago for Silverjet ground supervisor, she had a reply that they had recieved her email. She even spoke to them on the phone to confirm her CV was sent ok, and they confirmed it was and she would here back from them soon with regards to the position.
Then the other day she gets another emailing saying 'Sorry but we are not recruiting for ground staff at silverjet'
Now I think this is out of order, they advertise Jobs and not actually intending on taking on staff for that job.
The job is still currently advertised on the web site.
Not very good service for a aitline that is currently priding themselves on service.
Ranting Finished.

I have a really silly question...........
I want to apply to Silverjet but am a bit thick when it comes to all things computer related! I understand that I have to email my CV using the link on the website but they also ask to send some photographs, full length and passport sized - how do I get these to them?! Do they expect them to be scanned or something? If so I'm afraid it's beyond me!!! Would be grateful for any advice from others who have applied. Thanks

Thankyou
Thanks SuperBoy - I'll do that. The main thing is to get the CV off I suppose and then if they think they would like to interview me after that I'm sure they'll be able to wait for the photos!

Wow
WOW Morrisette - sounds like you should stick with your single operation aircraft because if you are so quick to diss other flight attendants in another company - how would you be with your own teammates? Just an observation - not intended in any way as an attack.
It really upsets me how, when a thread starts happily, upbeat and all good, there is always one who has to lower the tone.
It's so true what they say about us flight attendants - we either become sick, bitter and twisted or we end up with a wicked sense of humour and the patience of saints - lets hope the majority of us are the latter!

Does not matter if we are low cost, Domestic, Long Haul, Private Jet Or first class only ect ect, I agree with the previous last 2 posts, As cabin crew in all areas we work bloody hard from making our pax happy to team work and so on.
We may have opinions about other airlines, but should not abuse those crew who work for them.

I expect most of the money for the pay rise is going to be at the expense of the LGW FlyJet crew who have just been told that they are all out of jobs at the end of April and now Silver Jet are trying their utmost to get out of paying them any redundancy pay.

Hi Blue freedom,
Welcome aboard. What would you like to know?
And for the previous 2 posts, the leaking of confidential information and the use of names, isn't that a big no no too?
Please don't air your frustrations at Silverjet Crew, after all, we are an innocent part in all of this. As a whole, Silverjet Cabin Crew are not informed about Flyjet, or their operations, we were recruited as a completely seperate long haul entity. If you have issues, may I suggest you take it up with the people involved directly???? thanks

HI Bestonboard,
Thank you for the welcome : )
Having been crew before (shorthoul LHR) I was just wondering how the rosters are looking ?
Is there any swap or bidding facility ?
is it a case of 3 say trip 2days off or are there back to backs?
It is a shame to see fellow crew angry with Silverjet we all do a great job and all try to achieve the same thing - happy passengers

Roster info
Hi,
Does anyone have any info on the rosters ? I would like to know how the trips are planning out i.e
are they 3 days followed by two days off is there a pattern?
Is there a swap system/bidding system ?
Would love to hear from a silverjet crew member?

Hi blue freedom, sorry for taking so long, have just landed this morning. To be honest at the moment there is no set pattern as such. I have operated a trip, one day off, then another trip, rest today and then day off, then fly again monday. Then I have 3 days off before my next trip. You may do back to backs (i.e. fly monday, land wednesday am, 23 hours rest then fly thurs am... you would then land saturday and have a minimum 2 days off)... Crewing requirements change a lot to be honest. You may be called to operate downrank or uprank if required (you will be remunerated for working uprank though)
Sby's average between 5 - 7 duties a month. As we only have one flight a day going at the moment. SBY duty normally is for 4 hours only. Normally I do say, I do have a few 6 hour sby's in april.
Regarding a swap... you sort that out between yourself and the other crew member if you want to swap, just give ops at least 7 days notice and they will change it for you! (They're a good team)
Regarding bidding, this hasn't come into play yet, but you can request days off... so if you know when you want off, you pretty much know when you're gonna fly.
Hope that helps... look forward to seeing you online in the near future!
