Well done you lot! A few hangovers I expect. Its all good from here! So does that take another 4 from the pool? so 10 (ish I know of one unofficial retiree) of us left. Hmmmmm... it reminds me of school sports day, will I be picked last again. God d@amn those cruel team captains. It was my glands! God D@amn them to hell!!

Good to hear some of you are getting the call from Bacx.

Yes it may not be the best but its still a damm good start in what is a very difficult industry so good luck to you lucky chosen few. Whatever happens in the future you have a foot on the first rung of the ladder.

Can someone advise what Bacx are looking for. I am an experienced ME GA pilot, ATPL MCC perf a 3000 tt. I have been applying to Bacx since April last year but cant get a response.

I have heard rumours that there is a Jet and a Turbo-Prop class starting March.
I have seen the posts regarding the TP class but nothing on the Jet.

Is this just a Rumour?

[moku]

Nope, not just a rumour!

Direct entry jet Fo's

35+ jet fo's working their notice!

Bacx will be recruiting straight onto the Emb145 & RJ100. No recruitment planned onto the Dash 8.

Pool to be dried up very shortly.

2 courses of 4 jet fo's planned every month for the forseeable future.

check out: http://www.bacitiexpressjobs.com within the next couple of weeks!

Madmax,
Sorry to keep flogging this question. Do you mean no recruitment for the Dash 8 from the pool or no more interviews, sims etc. RH said that next year's business plan will be clear(er) at the beginning of next month and consequently plans for dash courses. Do you have a heads up on that plan?

Any clues gratefully received, hell, I'll even take rumours and lies if they are positive!

Pilot Recruitment

BACX have decided to recruit straight onto the jet fleets to replace the large number of SFO's leaving.

Result - Lots of pissed off turboprop dash8 FO's who should rightfully move onto the Jet RHS first and attract a jet salary!

[window-seat]

And so some of the recent Dash F/O's are getting itchy feet already as they watch new starters with less seniority than them earn £1,000.00 per month more, (for doing the same job, and working less hours)!!

As a 5year RHS "veteran" of the 145 at Man I can promise you that you cannot work harder than the 750hrs / year that is currently the norm on the embraer fleet, I can't vouch for the RJ's but they seem to do a considerable amount of touring. Our scheduling agreement won't allow more than 750 even though CAA says you can do more. Congratulations to all of you for getting the nod, you'll hear a lot of bitching around the crewroom but most of us are loyal to the cause and through the doom and gloom of the past and current climate see a bright future for CX

Feb RJ course

I'm on the Mar 14 RJ course, any of you other five out there?

[jaarrgh]

Thanks max, my day seems better already!

[brain fade]

I've been in ****tyexpress for ages. Not saying it's the best company you could work for but it's far from the worst. there's a lot of nay saying about the company and as usual some of it has some sort of foundation. Much of it is just folk moaning on in the way that they always have done and, no doubt, always will.
If you can get in then you'll enjoy it

[Capt Kirkwall]

I am apparently going on the 14. March course too....
