Thomas Cook Recruitment

It's up on their website guys & girls. Problem is when I have completed filling the thing out and click on the submit link I get :

"Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0006'

Overflow: 'CInt'

/SPRINTPLUS/airlines/html/applythanks.asp, line 120"

Anyone else getting this?

Rumour I have heard is that the online application may only be open for a few days if that.

Don't panic - I think the line of code is meant to generate a "Thanks for applying" message.

Where did you come across this?

On www.thomascookpilots.com there is no mention of recruitment or any online application to be found!

Sickbocks - agree with that having looked at it and tried to make a little sense.

The site you need to be looking at is www.thomascookjobs.co.uk

Navigate the menu's and you will get to the application form.

Just emailed TC HR department asking what the error message was about.

What have people put in the experience section if you haven't had any previous flying jobs? Have you listed none flying jobs?

Is it worth putting down a company employee you know even if they are not a pilot (e.g. stewardess, travel agent)?

Thanks.
