GB Airways

Hello everybody!!!

Just a post about GB.

I went to their open day last Saturday, had a 2-1 interview, got thru to stage 2 (Group dynamics, maths and english test), then I was told I had been sucessful (they only picked 3 people including me out of 15).
So I was invited to the last stage of the recruitment process, another 2-1 interview, which I went to yesterday.

I so want this job!! I am really looking forward to hear from them. Trouble is, they said it might take 7 to 10 days to get a reply in a form of a letter.

So my question is, have you guys been to the last interview with GB, if yes, how long did it take for them to tell you if you've been sucessful or not.

I know, I've only had my last interview yesterday, but this waiting is already killing.

Think twice...

Think twice candygirl... GB isn't a very nice place to say the least!! Proof of that is the announcement of an imminent strike by the Flight Deck crew!

As a member of GB crew i would like to wish all new recruits the best of the luck. Yes everything is a bit hetic at the mo but what do u expect when u have just moved buildings. it is a lovely company to work for which is expanding. It is nice in the way that u can make lots of friends and get to know the people u get to work with including the guys up the front. where as in most airlines the flight deck dont mix with the crew that offen.

Has GB been sold?

Hello ppruners...
There is a lot of rumor and specualtion that GB has been/is being sold to Excel Airways. Can anyone confirm that they have heard this, or is this another watch this space scenario?

Why have they leased the 737 from XL. It seems strange having got rid of the 73's to lease one?

This is to cover a temporary shortfall in a/c numbers as airframe G-TTOA was sent back to the leasing company a few weeks ago.

I believe GB wanted it only till the end of the summer season whereas the lessors wanted it out on a 7 year lease (perhaps someone can correct me on the actual numbers here, but it was roughly that)

Hence leasing a B738 from XL for the summer.

For your info GB have another A321 arriving this month G-TTIF which'll redress the balance.

I keep hearing a rumour that GB is going to be brought by BMI as they did with BMED. I'm based at LHR with BMI and this happened before anyone knew about the BMED takeover, so maybe it could be happening again???

GB airways cabin crew recruitment

I see GB airways recruiting for Gatwick now. Can anyone tell me what it is like working for them in terms of Rosters (Bidding? Swapping?), routes, Management, pay (they say £16K OTE on one website), selection process and training etc. If there are threads already, please point me in that direction, or pm me if you currently or previously worked for them. Any info would help.

Thanks
