What about Onur or Balkan? Will be interesting to see who they've nabbed mind, if it is true of course.

I had my interview last week. I was in around 15 minutes. However, if I get offered the job, I'm not going to take it as it's only £5.80 per hour, no shift allowance etc that you used to get a few years ago. I wouldn't be able to manage on the wage. To make it match my current wage, I would have to work 15 hours overtime per week, and that's if any overtime is offered. If you were given a shift allowance, I would take it (if it was offered to me) but not now. You get asked about giving excellent customer service, receiving bad customer service, what you think the role entails, why you want to work for Servisair etc. Good luck!

Servisair at NCL. (I think...)

Brussels Airways
Aer Lingus
Thomas Cook
Ryanair
Aer Arran
and nearly all dedicated Cargo flights.

Theres a better list somewhere in the "Who handles who" thread.

Cheers for that, it wasnt required during the interview, I was expecting a 'what do you know about Servisair?' question but it was generally very customer service focused. My favourite question was 'what are the three key attributes to have as an excellent passenger service agent' I felt I answered it very well and they seemed pleased.

Hopefully I'll get it, would prefer to work for them than the airport itself, they seemed a very nice bunch. But obviously, if I get offered one job I'll snap it up without thinking about it! Its a good chance for the newbies to 'break into the industry.'

Now its time for the long wait :bored:

yeah you know what the salary is and i have to go there on thrusday for my interview for bagagae handler is that what you applied for what did you ansewar to that question

My interview was a lot more customer focused because I applied for passenger service agent. I am guessing your interview will be alot about team work, health and safety, target setting and problem solving? Then again could be wrong.
Think about the job and industry specific in the interview. I wasnt asked, what are three key attributes to deliver excellent customer service, I was asked what makes an excellent Passenger Service Agent, providing good customer service in an airport is different to customer service in a shop for example.
The interview is very relaxed, you are taken up to level 3 with two people, they just give you a chat to start off with, outlining the job and the hours along with the training courses, the interview then started. Pretty textbook stuff, be prepared with situational answers. "When have you given good customer service?" "When have you received bad customer service" and maybe even "When have you worked effectively in a team?" etc etc.
Its very chilled out, just relax and enjoy it.


This is all just my view though, I am not an interviewer or anything. From my interpretation of the interview.
Good luck.

draging heels on pay offs not nice every body waiting

Read the e-mail yesterday saying that I didnt get the Servisair job :( However today I got a phone call from the airport itself saying that they were holding a presentation on thursday, can anybody shed any light on what this actually is? Is there an interview involved?

Got my 'presentation' at the airport tomorrow, not quite sure what to expect. Anyone else heard back for the seasonal vacancies?

I didn't get the Servisair job either. I was at the NCL open morning yesterday and I really enjoyed it. You start off with an introduction about each other, then an intro about the airport and how it started off to the present day. Key people from different departments go through the roles and the department they work on. You then do a small presentation in groups on excellent customer service. After a break of around 30 minutes, you are then advised if you are through to an interview, which takes place in the afternoon. After the interview you then filli n starter forms just in case you get the job so they can get the ball rolling with your CRB checks and references etc. I left the airport at 4.45pm, so don't plan anything for the afternoon. Enjoy it, I did!!

Newcastle Open Morning
 

Wow, sounds like a long day. How many people were there and how many got through? I would love to get it so much. I take it you got through to an interview then, well done and good luck.

Does anyone know when NCL will be contacting people who had interviews last week?

They said around the end of Marchish, however they also said that they wanted some people to be fully signed/ trained up and on standby to start for around the beginning of April, so realistically, probably sometime after the weekend.

Gate Aviation now seeking seasonal staff!

I wonder if they have anything other than T3 and EZY up their sleeves?


RTG!

Planes on stands sideways
 

Hey, i was at the airport flying to London yesterday and i noticed that a number of planes were parked sideways on stand instead of nose in. Is this just a request from the airlines i.e Easyjet for qucker turnarounds or is it what the airport is starting to implement at quieter times of the day??

Thanks Philip

Most likely due to the high winds there have been recently, the aircraft sometimes get parked into the wind.

I flew in with Eastern today and noticed the same thing. We parked nose-out as well, and there wasn't much of a noticable wind.

If you were travelling on a T3 Saab2000 then it was probably parked nose out due to an unservicable towbar if there was no wind.

Yeah it was the Saab2000, cheers for clearing that up.

into wind
 

You can sometimes get problems with starting and/or control surface test problems with the wind from behind. Depending on the strength.
