Does anyone know what the rosters and T&C's are like for LCY based FO's? Also, what the chances of a new joiner getting a LCY base?
Anyway, with the extremely high cost of living at London, good luck

Even just allowing for the "two" aircraft that spend the night there you need more than two crews. All airlines staff differently, the one I worked for in the States claimed to staff 5.5 crews per aircraft though it was actually less than that. But just for illustration using those numbers you could base 11 crews there just looking at two aircraft. Also, not every crew that brings an aircraft in departs on it. If I bring an aircraft in and then go to the hotel/apartment, as the case may be, another crew is required to fly it to it's next destination.
I don't know the actual numbers of crew based in LCY but they are there.

Yeah wanabe,I've been confused by this whole thing my self.
The site says the course is co-sponsored yet you pay 95k and they say cityjet will continually monitor your progress through training,giving me the impression that no offers are made until they're sure. Of course,we can't expect a guaranteed job but it'd be nice to have a little more in the way of security if we've to put that much money up.

there is no guarantee ( nobody will/can as they dont know whats going to happen in 12- 18 months when you are finished the course ),if they notice you doing well on the course then you are in with a shout but you are still not guaranteed anything. also helps if they like you. this is a good course but it is like oxford / cabair , give us the money but when your finished your on your own, no matter what the marketing department say to you. look at oxford / cabair before deciding anything as their reputations at least stand up and look who employs their graduates ( all airlines ) where sigmar is cityjet and cityjet or their managers are getting a kickback somewhere along the line .beware of all flight school bumf

Guys and gals I would seriously think twice about this deal. As far as I know they have not taken anything like the majority of people off a course. Therefore the odds are that you will not get a job at the end.
If you must go down the integrated route then why limit yourself to Cityjet? You could go to Jerez or Oxford and work hard and get put forward for to any number of airlines. No one will know about the sigmar deal as its to new and you don't want to be in essence a defacto marketing department for them after paying 95k.
