Hi all, just been looking at the Zoom site bout the LGW positions and was just wondering if anyone knows how long cabin crew get to stopover at certain destinations? Whether it may be a few hours or even a few days
Thanks
Thanks

Yes, I would also like to know a bit more about Zoom UK.
Firstly, are the LGW based crew trained solely on the UK registered 767, or are they trained on the ALL the aircraft including the 757.
If it is just the G-reg, then from what I can tell, it operates the JFK services. Sounds pretty good to me.
From what I've read, basic is £10000 and £2.25 flight pay. I would like to know what their standby arrangements are. There doesn't seem to be much input from current Zoom crew on the various forums. I think that may be a good sign.

Hi VS. We are only registered to fly on G-UKZM and at the moment that is the only aircraft we have in the UK. However, further aircraft are planned later in the year for new routes so it's a busy time for our recruiters at the moment!
Standby varies but is normally around 5 days a month. Its standby at home so long as you can reach base in 120mins. Sometimes stby is a day before a trip or its a block of days.
We've had a few teething problems since our first flight in June, but they are mostly all resolved. Zoom are a progressive company with a good management team and a really enjoyable atmosphere to work in. I'd recommend it!

Hearing back
I applied to Zoom on 29 August, and have heard absolutely nothing back since. Not even an automated email response. I would like to know how long anyone else who has applied recently, had to wait. Is anyone else in the same position as myself? I think I will send in my application again - just to be on the safe side. I quite like the sound of this airline.

Hi arewehomeyet. Well done on getting through..you'll soon be a fellow Zoomer!!
We regard to time downroute, we normally arrive in NYC around 1600 local and report the following day is normally around 1400 local. It means you can get a meal out, few drinks, even a bit of kareoke (yes I know its spelt wrong!) and of course, time to go shopping. Im not sure how much time we will get when the new routes start. There's quite a few crew who travel down from Liverpool, Manchester and even Newcastle so it can be done.
Anyway, look forward to flying with you and good luck!

Is that definate about Zoom UK doing Edmonton, Calgary and Winnipeg?
I read on an airline database that C-GZNA is going to be re-registered as G-CZNA from November, so I guess that ties in.

Xulu8, I've sent you a private message with contact details if you'd like to get in touch to discuss your specific points off-line.
On a general note, we are working to ensure that the products are consistent and both I and my Canadian counterpart are confident that the customer offering is very similar and meets the same high standards.
In spite of airline operators' best efforts, you will always find small areas where the product (in terms of seating, IFE, on-board retail offering etc) differs between fleets or routes. As an example, I flew recently with a major carrier from Heathrow to Ottawa and went out on a 767 with new seats, AVOD and a new in-flight meal product; and returned on a 767 with an old-style IFE product, older seats and different catering. Equally, major UK carriers have very different in-flight retail ranges depending on which long-haul route or aircraft type on which you're flying.
I'd argue that our product consistency within the Zoom brand is far greater than those experiences, but we are actively working to further coordinate a consistent customer experience across the whole brand. If you'd like to contact me, I'll be happy to update you with the "nuts and bolts" of what we're doing to achieve it.
Zoom Airlines Ltd (the UK operation) is operating services from Gatwick via Manchester or Glasgow to Calgary from mid December 2007. There are no plans for Zoom's UK operation to take on operations to Edmonton and Winnipeg. These have historically been seasonal routes for our Canadian sister company and are not operated during the winter season anyway.
Kind regards - Jonathan Hinkles - Managing Director, Zoom Airlines Ltd
