I have 9 years of flying experience and have senior cabin crew experience with full service airlines. I am endorsed on the same aircraft and have a masters degree in aviation management. Went for the Cabin Manager position and not even a phone interview. So good luck to everyone, i rekon it will be a great cabin crew job. Perhaps us oldies with experience can't be taught new tricks????? No hard feelings.

G-Kris and Tommie - cheers for the offer of advice, my interview was yesterday!!!
i really enjoyed myself actually, although found the day very intense. i got through to the very end and felt that my 2-2-1 interview went very well! although I couldn't think of an example for one of the questions! so just gotta wait now for a letter to come through my letterbox, then i will have some deciding to do i think!!
also, people at the interview who had a LOT more experience than me didn't get through the first and second rounds. i suppose they must have their reasons but considering this is a brand new airline you would think the more experience the better really. however, i'm not complaining because who knows this might have gone in my favour!
good luck to everyone who has interviews today and tomorrow!!

Well done on getting through to 2-2-1 !! It's never easy regardless of the airline.
I share your point on expereinced crew, I have previous experience with MYT, but not a great deal, and there were people there that had been flying for years, at senior level! The only conclusion I can come to is that (if your day was like mine) there where 25-30??? people there.
I would say a 3rd of those were applying for CM or Grade A, when in reality the initial launch will be with just 1 B767 until later in the year, so competition for the position is much higher. I think also, they are really looking more at attitude and energy, as it's a start-up and th4ey need crew that are really ''up for it'' lol!!
Let me know how you get on Vodkaholic!!! I've been waiting since last week, not sure how much longer until I burst! I really want it now!!!

Yes, that is a good observation actually tommietola. i was quite shocked when the MD told us that including everyone working in the office, andf light crew the total n umber of employees of Zoom Uk would be 85!!! i thought they would be looking for thousands, but guess I was way off the mark here lol. But then as you say initially there will only be one aircraft.
Maybe the more senior people who applied, would not be happy to take a more junior position, as let's face it there will obviously be more of these available. People who were at my interview day were on £20,000 with their current airline and if asked to drop down a grade for the job, well it may not be realistic for them.
Could be 9 days until we hear!!!! So hang in there, and the worst is over now! (unless you count this wait! he he!)

ZOOM UK Pilots
Hi Folks,
I have been following this thread for weeks re: ZOOM UK cabin crew recruitment. What I would really like to know however is what's happening with ZOOM UK pilot recruitment. This topic has somehow avoided Pprune thus far. Has anyone heard how many pilots have been hired and if so, under what conditions (pay, schedule benefits etc)
Can someone shed some light? Anyone?
Feel free to reply via pm....
