Hi

They courier your passport back to you and someone needs to sign for it (they need to see id if it's not you). I got mine back in about 3 days but it can take longer if they're busy!

Post Zoom to Fly

hi, all I know is they applied for their first flight on the 7th June. I'm sure eveything will be fine as they've sent all the contracts out they seem pretty sure it's all going ahead.

Yeah I reckon it will be south terminal, like Zoom Canada.

Contracts are out as wilco said so think they're pretty sure about it!

Talking :-)

I'm sure Zoom will let us know if it starts to look dodgey. At the moment it appears Delta have jumped straight in an want to block Zoom UK's application to fly to the US. They are correct that the owners of Zoom are indeed Canadian and have helped fund Zoom U.K. However Hugh Boyle also has British Nationality which he has had since birth. Zoom UK is starting up with new A/C and crew and is a sister airline. If Zoom wanted to just start breaking any agreements they could have just opened a London base. As with any start up or new route start up there will be objection. Also to add the Royal Bank of Scotland actually suggested the Zoom UK start up to Zoom, not the other way around. I could be wrong but I doubt one of the largest banks in the UK would want to start investing 10 million with out first having an insight.
This said... we will just have to wait an see!
I'm still excited

I'm sure you'll want to read the latest, so here is the Link

No of course not, i'm sure none of us do. I guess thats what this website is here for to chat about stuff worries and all you have to so what you feel is right and I know it worried me too. In the end I had to put my notice in due to when i'm startin and the length of notice I have to give. Fingers crossed you'll make the choice that makes you happy!

Any idea what the expected monthly salary will be after deductions etc? A rough idea? Obviously depending on commission and number of flights... and is there an allowance when you're away? Or is it just away from base pay?

Sorry - so many questions!
