i'm going to a recruitment day on the 9th at Gatwick for thomsonfly. bit nervous as it will be my first one!!

anyone got any advice as to what the thomsonfly people are looking for etc? what we will have to do on the day?

Hi Jenni

Good luck with your interview! :ok:

Its natural to be nervous, but the best advice is relax and enjoy yourself!! You will probably never see the majority of the people who were there again, that seemed to help!

Personally dont think they are looking for a particular type of person - god knows, if they were i wouldnt have got this far! :} Its the biggest cliche but just be yourself, they will know if ur not.

The order of the day is pretty much the same as everyone else:-
Maths test
Group interview
Roleplay
2/1 interview

The day lasted about 6hrs (lots of breaks!) but I spose this depends how many people turn up.

I would say PM if you have any questions but Im offline for a couple of weeks from now and also I probably wouldnt be much help hehe

Let us know how you get on!

Bye.

thomsonfly interview
 

hi jenni its emma i was at the thomsonfly interview with you on the 9th dec. r u in the holding pool does anyone know wot this means? have we got a job or what?

Makes me laugh all the messing about, I mean how much do you lot actually get paid ? to put up with all the assessments and being laid off when its quiet etc...must be tough, sure must be worth it in other ways - I just can't personally see what

Hi, im in the holding pool for Thomson for the Doncaster airport! But I was jsut wondering when they start sending for references? And does being in the holding pool guarantee training? Would really appreciate any help, as I was getting my hopes up, but they haven't sent for my references yet, so ive started paniking! help please, xxx

Hi everyone,

I found out yesterday that i to am in the holding pool i to wonder what the next step in the process is as the letter just says that if suitable positions become available they will contact me.

Can anyone advise what the next step is and when i will hear anymore from them?

Thanks in advance
Tils

From the grapevine the earliest courses start in february, so assuming they give at least one months notice, we should start hearing soon!

the earliest course for thomson new entrants is in LGW. 11th of January.
A friend of mine was in the pool for 4 or 5 days (had her interview at the end of nov) and then she received a letter informing her about the date for her course.

Hi, ive just finished my training wit Tfly and im now based at BOH I had to wait 6 months for my date to come up, although I do know that they are desperate for 737 crew at the mo.... Keep your fingers crossed theres lots of exams, tears and lonely nights in hotels and then your off.....................!!! got my SYC 2morrow to alicante WAHOO cant wait x

I was just wondering if anyone had heard anything more from thomsonfly about start dates or if they have definatley got the job?
Tils x;)

Hiya Folks,
i know i've missed the boat (or rather, aeroplane :D ) for the latest recruitment drive but does anyone know when the next one will be? i am interested in working out of Doncaster if possable. and is a good knowledge about aircraft any help?. i work on them in my spare time.

all the best.

gregers I don't think you have necessarily missed the boat.

In our local paper yesterday, Tfly were advertising for cabin crew and the advert said that they had 2 more open days in January and 2 more in February.

So look on thomsonfly.com and check it out! (Don't know which base they were talking about though.)

Many thanks T1,
off to check out their website.

Greg :ok:

Hi

I work for T-Fly out of Doncaster and at the moment- it's fantastic - great crew, great atmosphere and great flying :)

Check their recruitment days out on the website - although as far as I am aware - they are recruiting for BHX, CWL and LTN only :)

DONCASTER ! Shopping centres maybe and a train station but International Airport........bloomin ek as like!:ooh: When did that suddenly appear?

206 CC: just out of interest, when did you enter the holding pool for T.fly? Are you starting your initial course on 1st Feb? I'm guessing you're going to be MAN based?

Has anyone else heard anything from Thomson about initial training?

jannie

What base you in pool for jannie?

thanks 206cc,already a regular on there just looking for more in fo here hehe.

no initials at MAN
 

Those of us who applied for MAN have probably now all received the letter explaining that there will be no initial courses for MAN this summer with Thomsonfly, with the option to remain in the holding pool for 2007 season...

Pool must be pretty full guys... anyone got any arm-bands to lend out... we could be here for a while...

Hi guys

Initial courses at LGW are up and running, cse 3 just finished and going on-line. Courses in newcastle starting next month.
fleet of 737's arriving by the day with a great deal of conversion work taking place.
There is a huge training workload at the moment, shortage of trainers and lots of sales conferences next month for existing crew as a new rostering system is being launched.
hang on in there!

thanks for that info, gives me a little glimmer of hope.:ok:

Shortage of trainers????????????

Theres loads of new ones! Or is it because the ones that are used for everything are too busy to do anything else?

i applied for luton and b'ham as neither are too far from me.

fight_for_life you can share my arm bands, ive done my 5m so only need one while i practice my lengths!

did anyone see the piece in the sun today about the captin who is haunting his old plane!!

Must be all that sales training:E


To all of you joining, look forward to meeting you and working with you. PS We don't bite on t'other side of the door.:}

i too recieved that letter back in January but have heard rumours that we may soon see the land ahead but i guess we will have to wait and see.

Thomson Fly New Starter
 

Hello - I'm recently been offered a position with Thomson Fly out of East Midlands. My only major concern is the salary as I would be taking a cut from what I currently earn - what is a realistic take home monthly salary for a new starter out of this base? Any other useful information or advice anyone can offer would be appreciated.

When do you start your training course for EMA?
