aren't zoom helping you apply for your US visa? normally the airline will book you an interview time as well. or you will go to the embassy on a day during your initial training.

tamtam - you need a US visa to fly anywhere West of the UK (in my understanding) and although Zoom dont have the routes yet they will be flying, I think they are planning for it to be JFK.

You'd imagine that Zoom UK would be doing this or is it the responsibility of the crew to obtain necessary visas....actually.. it does say that in my manual that crew responsibilities include necessary work visas for destinations. So makes sense.

Visas
yeah even with my current airline we had to go and get the visa ourselves and fill out the form etc...
They did book the appointment and we went as a group however if u can book it for a convenient time yourself I think it'll be easier.
I might be able to help with what needs to be filled in on certain parts of the form, this is what I had to fill in when I went and it seems to be fairly generic.
Answers to questions:
24 Various
25 Various
26 Max 14 days
27 Transit
28 Zoom Airlines
28 was my current airline name but I presume you just put the company your working for.
Apparently when u print it out it MUST be in black ink on A4 paper. You MUST also have a passport photo with white or off white background which MUST be stuck (glue) or stapled to the form.
for your appointment you should have
passport
form DS156
form DS157 (if male)
Covering Letter on company headed paper
Money for visa
and £10 to cover courier charge for returning your passport.
As I say I hope this helps and good luck to you all going up there.
Oh and just to clear it up, you only need your visa if you are entering the US or leaving the US as crew. Not if your flying west of the U.K. or if entering and leaving the US as a passenenger. If your flying to the carribean etc... you will travel through US airspace and will have filled out a form from the department of homeland security, but this isn't a Visa.

Visas 2
oh and I almost forgot, if you have trouble printing out the form or accessing the website like I did, dont worry they have a few computers at the end of the que in the embassy that you can fill out and print out the form. These computers are constantly logged on the forms and the staff are very helpfull.

yeah, i did say that it was in my understanding that you n eeded one to fly west of the UK, because this is just what I was told. but i was obviously told wrong information.
how long does it take them to return your passport back to you? because i've got to go up to the US embassy in march to get mine, but i assume i cant continue with flying duties until i have my passort back. yet have been rostered flights for a couple of days after!!!
