Do you have to fly for a certain amount of time before you can apply? Also what is the accom like on stop overs? Do you have acertain amount of stop overs a month?

What a huge improvement that uniform is - I think it looks extremely smart.

You must all be very pleased with it.

We have been issued with 2 orange and 2 white shirts and in November we will be getting 2 more shirts of our choose colour.

Not sure what you meant by fly a certain time before you can apply. I f you mean apply for easyjet, no you dont need to have flown before, but previous customer experience is needed.

Night stop accomodation is very good, but easyjet dont do very many night stops. But things do change.

Anyone from Stansted base?
 

Hi! I'm GB staff and as you all know will be working with you very soon. :O
I've been commuting for the last 7 years but .. no flights from Lgw to where I need to go.
Stansted would be a brillant option.
Is any of you working there. How is it?

hey there, i am based at stanstead and i may be a little bias but i think its the best base ever!! Ive only been with easy about 6 months but everyone there has made me feel so welcome. Im sure you will love it!! Maybe see you soon!!

I am based in Luton but fly out of Stansted quite often and have to agree it is a friendly base, and the atmosphere is nice and relaxed. No-one I have met in STN is trying to catch you out in briefings, or is too on your case onboard. The only problem with the base is that there is not much expansion or growth planned which slows down how quickly you can transfer to STN or get promoted.

Airline Girl - how come you cannot spell the name of your base?!

does it really matter? You know what i ment...

No it doesn't matter.

Its funny though, Stansted is probably the most mispelt airport in the entire world, next to Heatrow that is...

...and then there's Astraksetra, Indonesia

I'm going to bed now! :)

Out of curiousity has anyone heard the results of the sph incentive? It finished a month ago and no word of the results at my base.
All the posters have been taken down, though there was a notice over three weeks ago saying that the results would be announced shortly.

New Catering Contract
 

First day of the new catering contract today - first impressions anyone?

Not bad a few missing and extra bits here and there but they are trying
Crew food is so much nicer.
And the GG guys have been really nice.

Well, I wasn't here for a while but it doesn't seem I missed out on much.

I really like the new uniform, although I hate that they've taken the uniform allowance away. Funny enough, everybody I've spoken to who voted on the matter claimed to have voted 'no' including myself.

Somebody asked about the different shirts. I had a pax asking: 'What's the difference between the shirts?' so I turned around and said with a straight face: 'One is orange, and one is white!'
My number 4 was in stiches. Now, before people start telling me off for being sarcastic with a pax let me tell you that he and I had been joking before, and he loved it. It convinced him that I had to be irish (including my supposedly irish accent, lol). Which obviously is an insult, and I had to kick him off the plane ;)

I like GG so far although there have been a few minor issues which I like to think of as starting problems as it obviously takes some time for everything to settle in. But I would forgive GG quite a bit for a while because they gave me nice chocolate. I'm easily bought with the right food.
And Bristol GG took over a lot of the Alpha staff so we deal mostly with the same people.

Does anybody know what happens on the GB airways front? Like when will the routes be on our website?

SCCM
 

Hello!!
(actually the name of a Swiss charter, call them Goodbye)

Haven't seen any publications on inside lately for SCCM positions, except ongoing around London, or OPM positions either. There's talk of a waiting list earlier in this thread. Has it become a new practice to ask CC's to apply for SCCM and put them on endless waiting lists all around the network? In certain bases it avoids that certain crew apply and become frustrated and demotivated, but I still think open application is a fairer chance for all.
Thanks for infos concerning the different bases.

Each base recruits for SCCM's as they need. So SCCM recruitment and numbers needed is done through your BCCM.

It may be worth speaking to your BCCM or OPM to see if they can help.

I know that numbers in easyjet at the moment are good and they are pretty much on target with crew, so that could be one good reason why there has been little advertisment for SCCM's.

However with more A319's arriving and boeing bases converting there will probably be another SCCM recruitment drive early next year.

Hello!

I'm Stansted based Cabin Crew for easyJet and have loved every day of my 24 months of employment with the company. Any GB Crew interested in STN but are wary have nothing to worry about. We have a great contingent of cabin and flight crew and a really helpful and supportive office staff.

S88

Could anybody tell me what the part-time crews are coming out with monthly including commission and also how many days a month this tends to work out as? Also, people's opinions on coming in as a direct entry senior, how they've been made to fit in etc.

50% about £900

75% part time
 

Varies - on 75% as an SCCM, I clear £1200 to £1400 per month, all in. November was £1444, and I average 12 flying days per month, often less.:)
