for my command of english,I am french and proud to be! so if it disturbs some of you, nobody force you to read me, or, you can start to learn french, and more UK airlines are looking for pilots speaking French. Hope it will help me.I have been lucky so far, but now it is very hard to get a flying job!
With my level of english, I can take a job in UK.I passed the 14 ATPL, so I think my level is good enough.
Good luck to everyone.
this is what we have received from BMIBABY, ah ah ah ah !!!
now I have to spend another hour (or 2 hours)to send my damn application to this damn computer!!!grrrrrr!
and I can not enter in their website, I have to restart from scratch...Please, hold me, I am going to kill somebody!!!
they have probably lost all datas,...redesign,? my ass!
then... hold on, this is the funniest part,:they are not looking for pilot but only looking for pilots. they have this website, so they are looking for pilots or they are not looking for pilots???
.what is the point to send your application if they do not recruit, what is the point to apply if they say they are not looking and what is the point to have a recruitment website if they are still not looking for pilots. they make waste my time....our time!
probably BMI doesnt know that when the are flying forward in fact they are flying backward.(do you know in french: quand j'avance, tu recule, comment veux- tu que je t'encule?)
this is LAUGHABLE! I will never fly with this company!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We have recently completed a redesign of our website. Your previous pilot application details have been archived. However if you still want to be considered for employment with bmibaby please re-submit you application at: bmibaby.com
-------------------------------------------------------------------
funniest part:
We are not currently recruiting for flight deck positions, however we would welcome applications from experienced 737-300/500 pilots.

Yep,
Got the email. Went to the site. Every thing filled out and sent off in about 5 minutes. As far as online applications go it's pretty easy.

Skyman,
I think you should just stop moanin' and complainin' and focus your energy on finding ways to get yourself a job instead telling us how frustrated you are about how the system works. we are all frustrated, but if you really want to be a pilot, you must find ways. The system is how it is and there is no way to change it.
You say that Easyjet lacks the "Human touch", but did you know that they actually organize roadshows once in a while all over Europe? I have heard of people handing in their CV's there and being called shortly afterwards for an interview. How about that !
British companies in my opinion try to recruit people with the right attitude, that is, a positive constructive and goal oriented attitude. Your attitude to me is typical of the average frenchman: cynical, negative, and arrogant. I am a Frenchman, trying to get a job in the uk, but it's people with an attitude like yours who ruin our reputation!
And finally, your English is nowhere near the required standard for British companies. I know you are extra proud to be french, but that doensn't mean the world must speak french also. Hope your accent isn't as bad as your grammar!
Good luck with your job search anyway
cheers

Have to agree with JMC, attitide seems to be the key word. With regard to my previous comments and you thinking the ATPL's are a joke. There are alot of people here that put an enormous amount of effort into passing the exams and fought blood sweat and tears to get through.
Perhaps you should be a little more sensitive about others when posting here.

Online applications for anything can be extremely frustrating. I'd guess that not many of us haven't had the experience of filling out an online form only to find its contents have disappeared when you try to submit it, whether it's a 404 error or whatever. Here on Pprune I've often had the frustration of writing a long reply to a thread only to have the system lose the results of my efforts after pressing 'submit reply'. Now, I always copy my musings before I press the button! So, whatever else you feel about Skyman68, I'm sure you can understand his frustrations.
The thing is, it's a waste of time wishing things were different or better; you have to learn to deal with the problems you're presented with. Where possible, save the online form and complete it (and save the completed form) offline. If that's not possible, at least make a note of your answers. Where narrative answers are required, compose and save them in Word or Wordpad, then copy them to the online form. That way, if your completed form does disappear into the ether, you have a backup.
If your target company accepts snail-mail as well as e-mailed applications, do both unless they specifically tell you not to. Often, companies will not acknowledge any applications at all. It's a fact; get used to it. Yes, it's rude and inconsiderate, but the workload of replying to every one of maybe thousands of applications is beyond all but the very largest companies.
Do not 'spam' CVs at lots of companies. You will get found out! You may find your e-mail address is blocked by those companies - not good! Target your CVs by making the covering letter individual to the company you're aiming at. That doesn't mean completely reconstructing the covering letter each time, simply making sure that what you are applying for is actually what they are offering.
Above all, don't get discouraged. Almost every professional pilot out there received several PFOs before landing an interview, and most will have undergone several interviews before landing a job. Keep trying!

Skyman,
It seems to me that as a proud Frenchman, you need to look into your French spelling, what I mean is: il faut mettre un "S" a la fin du verbe reculer quand tu le conjugues avec "TU"..., non?
A plus, Bokkie.

Contact details for easyjet?
Hi,
Does anyone know an email address that I could use to contact easyjet regarding pilot recruitment/training? I have searched their website but they only seem to have webforms.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Colin

Colin,
I found this on the easyJet website:
Once again, please do not send us paper CVs or contact us by telephone unless we have specifically asked you to do so. The process is designed to provide maximum efficiency for us and you, so please, help us to help you.
Maybe they only have web forms because that is the only way they want to deal with recruitement?

Hi Colin,
Are you applying for cadet training?
If, so, look at the STOP PRESS section of the link given above, it goes to CTC McAlpine's website. Easyjet are doing all their cadet recruitment through CTC now, as well as ATP recruitment as far as I know.
If you haven't already, have a read through the "CTC McAlpine/Easyjet/JMC/Thomas Cook" thread. It takes a while but the info is invaluable.
Hope this helps,
Simon.

Easyjet - How many pilots per year?
Hi,
How many pilots do easyjet employ each year and for the next say 5 years?
Also, how many or what ratio are CTC sponsored cadets vs guys who are ex instructors/turboprop with >500hrs?
Thanks!
