At it again Nick22? with your tactics of blurting out in-house memos on a public forum, if you are still at XL it's probably about time you moved on elsewhere if you are really that unhappy with things.

Sorry to be blunt, but you are doing nobody any favours and least of all yourself with your publicly embittered attitude, a lot of people at XL are suffering with the re-structuring, but at least most are doing it with a bit of dignity, might be an idea to acquire some for yourself.

Actually, that information is available on other forums not just this forum.

A lot of passengers have suffered, but I suppose they don't matter to you eh?

Bordering on illegal or illegal Mr Paul ??

Driving at 69mph in a 70mph zone is bordering on illegal, but its still legal - isn't it ?

[B744Driver]

Amaizing that a so called CEO would put out something like that..So, due to the global warming, travelers are not vacationing as before... jejeje It's really a shame that an airline with so much potential is in that kinda shape, but that email tells you right there. You put an air head in charge, this is about the right return.
Good luck to all affected and I really hope somebody comes and turns the place around before it's too late.

Xl Dub

Hey!

I worked for XL dub during the summer and loved every minute of it. And the welsh crew & canadian crew were great. It was a sunwing base so it was a C reg on the 737-800. As far as i am aware its a seasonal base. I'm pretty sure they wont give relocation money but if they dont get the crew numbers maybe. The crew over here were amazing. We got nightstops in Cork and Knock. and this season it'll be double the nightstops as theres more flights from NOC and ORK. I would love it if it became a full time base as its the best airline i've worked for and i loved every minute of it. As for base managers etc... i'm not sure!! you'll love it over here!!

XL Airways/ . com Recruiting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my god I cannot believe that after making many redundancies and ending alot of temp contracts XL are already recruiting. They told staff that this was due to the company having to slim down. They havent even offered ex employees their jobs back.

Seems like a very Very unstable company and not a very nice one if they can stab their previous emplyees in the back like this

Nice one XL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[diesel36]

Not just XL Flyglobespan are the same....

[Stephen82]

I know its so mad, well not nice companies, glad to be out of it if thats what they are about. A friend of mine was based at stn with globespan and was let go. Nasty

[diesel36]

I know its a shame. We had a great time with the stn guys..

[iain8867]

I believe that under employment laws they have to offer the jobs to people made redundant first, if they accept then I don't know where they stand with keeping their redundancy monies as they are no longer redundant!

DUB

Has anybody applied for XL dublin yet???

I'm thinking about applying. Is it a perminant base??? Is there long haul flights??? I've applied for first choice as they have a perminant base in dublin on the 757/320. Anyone out there with any info????

[nesboy 1976]

Like all airlines XL have their problems. Not returning your emails is naughty mind. Have you tried to ring them?

I thoroughly enjoyed my (short) time working for them. I only left because i had a better offer. Made some goods friends in the short period i was there.

I also know a few of the dub crew from last year. The base manager isn't that bad and i just think she was trying to make a name for herself (whether that turned out to be a good move is yet to become clear).

your not the only one who cant get a reply from XL jucy lucy. They advertise everywhere for crew for dublin and when you apply its a UK application eg. NI number (a UK thing). Do they not know the Irish tax and national insurance rules?? they did have irish crew last yr didnt they?????

I've emailed several people several times and not one has replied. Dont think i'll continue my application. First choice here i come!!

[nesboy 1976]

Now thats a shame.

XL Dub

"They had alot of trouble with crew leaving and the Base Manager was supposedly a weapon - never ever in the office etc. etc"

Well perhaps the Base Manager was never in the office because she had to spend hours upon hours on top of her Managerial duties working as operating crew due to the ridiculous amount of sickness experienced at the DUB base last summer!

[nesboy 1976]

"The Base Manager is a weapon"

What a load of rubbish. She is just firm and wouldn't take any off some of the supposedly 'experienced' crew that were in DUB last summer!

Nesboy

[troy101]

as i was one of those supposedly "experienced" crew operating out of dub last season let me clear some things up as its bizzare how some people think they know it all from listening too gossip,there were a few problems in dub,75%of the crew left too work for aer lingus just leaving a handful of crew too operate-yes crew did go sick but we all worked as a team the best we could too help each other out,base manager wasnt a weapon very fair and too the point.so too those who dont know nothing but gossip butt out!
