Silverjet Rosters

Now flown with EK for over 4 years. Im thinking about a move to Silverjet. Does anyone know how many hours Silverjet crew are working in a month?

[flygirl28]

Hours have been a little unpredictable with the postponement of the second service to NYC. However with rosters printed for next month and the second service starting on average crew are getting 5-6 trips per month.
Hope that helps

Chicken79 - I completely agree, the guy from NZ was extremely rude, and he interviewed my friend who didnt get past the first interview, and she said he was uninterested in anything she said. He was one of the assessors when i was in the second stage (the group exercise) and he told me and the others that we hadnt got thru and he couldnt even look us in the eye. I will not be reapplying to SilverJet.

Silver Angel - The group exercise involved us having to decide from a list of eight passengers/families who would get priority for a hotel room, and why, and then you present it back to the assessors. Fairly simple i thought, but just a tip, there were 5 in my group, and 4 of us including me voiced our opinions and were active members of the group, however one girl didnt say much, couldnt really grasp the task, and she was the only one who got through! I'll speak to my mate about the final interview see what it was like!

Hi guys, I was also at Silverjet interview the same day as you..i totally agree with everything you've said! They did look like a great company but not sure underneath it all. Most airlines or companies tell you the nitty gritty stuff about wages etc.. upfront but with Silverjet you have to sit through most of the presentation (which goes round in circles with the same boasting) until they tell you any details that are important for your life! The NZ man interviewed me and i too thought he really wasn't listening..if i had been a good looking male he might have been more interested! I think the less controversial the better, dont mention British Airways and if you are young enough to want to start a family and any sort of employment laws behind you then they would rather not be bothered with you

[chicken79]

Yes totally agree princesscharl. I think I know who you are, I think I was talking to you about BA and Solihull!!!

Good luck with your future when you get the date, if it's you!!

hi everyone

i was given an assesment date for the early this month by silverjet, but it said in the email that if i was unable to make it i must email back so that i can be given further dates!
i was unable to make the dates given to me due to current job commitments, so i emailed back.... but i have waited since and i have had no body email me back! so what do i do? i have tried emailing them twice but no reply and when i call sarah whose number was given in ther invitation email... no body answers!! strange ppl!

thanks guy

I had thesame issue, couldnt make the 1st interview I was invited, they gave me some other dates (happened to be 4 days in thesame week)which again I couldnt make, tried emailing them never got anything back so my guess is, they expect people to drop everything and attend the interview and if you cant then they are not interested....

I'm really sorry to hear that you have had bad experiences with SJ, knowing some of the crew that work there they seem to be a really professional organisation. Maybe its down to being a new company who are still finding their feet?
I've worked for quite a few airlines now and my experience is that on offering you an interview they will try and accomodate you as best as possible but as with any job interview, yes there are times that the interview time or date clashes with your now job. Its just unfortunate. I don't know many jobs that you would go for that could offer you an interview for example at a weekend or in the evening.
Don't let all this cloud your judgement. If you really want to fly, i can honestly say that they seem like a great outfit. Be patient and keep trying.

thanks for that, i will most defunately continue to try and get in touch as i dont know what the reason could be, and one can only try. i want it so much that i will continue to try no doubt, although i wana prepare myself on a practical interview course.
could anybody tell me if there is a workshop i can attend to get help on interviews?

thanks guys

Such blues :(

Hi girlies and boysies! I am aware our HR department have been very busy with recruitment... Have you not received an auto response?

Sorry some of you have had a bad experience with the company on first impressions. I'm sure they don't mean it... Thanks for taking the time to come see us! If I had any power within the company I'd try to get y'all a reply...

Chin up y'all! And fabulous luck for the future!

Silver Interview

I just read your post & felt I had to tell you what happened to me, I had my interview for Silverjet back in jan & had the same task, I am actually quite an extrovert person & cant stop myself taking leadership ! I got years of airline expereince & yet got thrown out in the first ellimination, I asked Silverjet for some feedback whe I returned home & they said I wasn't forceful/extrovert enough ! My family laughed !!! so I think as usual ......if your face fits etc..... one of the mysteries of the world haha

Need info about luton town please...

Hi all ,

I was wondering if anyone will be so kind to provide me some info about the city of Luton.

I am starting a course for cabin crew with Silverjet in november and I am currently living in Denmark.

I am very happy about the position and the only thing that I am still wondering is where should I live in london to be able to freach on time Luton airport?

I was thinking to rent in luton town but I have heard some bad comments about the city, can anyone confirms if it is so bad to live there?
Is there anyone working for Silverjet living in Luton town?

Can anybody let me know where else I could live without beeing too far to reach luton airport and knowing that I wonīt have a car?

I hope to get some answers and I am really looking forward to meet my new colleagues from Silverjet!

Thanks in advance for your help!

Luton Airport

Hi Franco,

Congrats on Silverjet! Luton has nice bits and not so nice bits too. If you are living locally a car is essential. There is a very good train service called the Thamelink which services Luton Parkway Station, and then there is a bus to the airport (not quite sure where you report).

St. Albans is a nice place to live, lots of cafes, bars, shops, etc on this trainline.

Harpenden is quite nice too, although a bit more quite.

Mill Hill is a nice suburb of London, with easy access to Luton Airport, and the City.

West Hampstead is a fab place to live, London on your door step, and the train to Luton.

Remember you will only have to make the journey a max of 4 times a week. The only consideration I would advise would be your standby call out times.

You should be able to find a room to rent for approx Ģ400 pcm.

Hope this has helped!

Goodbye FlyJet

Goodbye to all the Flyjet crew ex. MAN and NCL. It's been a pleasure working with you this past year at both bases. Shame the aircraft kept going tech. every other flight but if we don't have the spares we can't do a lot!
Good luck in whatever you are choosing to do............

H Guys,

Sent my CV off 2 days ago and received an email this afternoon inviting me to an assesment day on either the 10th or 11th Oct, Next week! aaaaaaaa....... havent decided which one yet, anyone else going on one of these days?

I have seen the Silverjet Cabin Crew uniform and the guys dont wear a tie,
So I was wondering if I should wear a suit and shirt but with no tie and open neck, I know I would feel much more relaxed and it might show that I researched the uniform, does anyone have an opinion on this?

I would appreciate any info.

Thanks in advance

[Potential]

Hi CB,

You are correct that the Silverjet cabin crew wear an open shirt. However, when I went to the selection last month I wanted to avoid dressing like I was already an employee. I was under the impression that the male cabin crew wore a silver tie and a white shirt (like the pilots do I believe), but this is not the case. Imagine my surprise when I realised that all the male interviewers were wearing a blue and white horizontally striped shirt - the same as I was! Doh!

Anyway sorry about going off subject slightly. All the males that were there for selection when I was there had ties on so you might feel a bit too casual if it is the same when you go, even though the interviewers will not have a tie.

[crewboy]

I appreciate your help.

Thanks

Do you receive allowance with silverjet?

Hi all,

I was wondering if any of you will be so kind to tell if the cabin crew receive allowance when they go to New York?

I know that the basic salary and the paiement for each hour but I havenīt heard anything about allowance when you travel...does that means that there is not such thing?

Thanks in advance for your answers

[Twinklinggem]

Any information would be great

New Silverjet Ad

Why have Silverjet used the classical music from the BA ads for their new advertisement????? Surely they could have found their own piece as opposed to 'borrowing' from a competitor
