Slowly, slowly catch a monkey!

Chocks I think that you are right, it appears that there's nobody left from July, and at least one has been called forward from August - I think!!!!!

All very confusing stuff this...

Fingers crossed, here's hoping

Guys, I'm feeling some ripples, any update on recent movement??

I'm heaing rumours some more of you from the August (start) AQC have got placements, in addition to those that went to Jet2 and Monarch...

Also, CTC mentioned 'other airlines' are in for small numbers, can anyone shed any light on who these might be?

Cheers,
GD.

Just a rumour...
Heard that 4 are having B Med interviews.
A few(2?) are having Jet 2 interviews.
Anything else?

From PPJN:-

"After having recruited 370 new pilots, easyJet needs only 50 (FIFTY) people from today until at least next October 2007. The expansion seems to slowing down by now."

Doesn't sound too clever, does it?

Bear in mind the quoted '370' may have CTC pilots factored in, one would certainly hope this is the case based on how positive the last e-mail update was regarding easyjet's forthcoming recruitment plans.

Athough I do agree, it is a little worrying... Does anyone have any further info' on the big orange, or anyone else for that matter?

It could actually be good news. If things really are settling down a bit a easyjet, they might start having resources to train ctc swimmers. There has previously been an optimism from above at ctc about high numbers going to easy this year and that things would soon start to get better. With this in mind I am fairly optimistic about this recent news on ppjn.

FlyerGuy,

I emailed CTC and asked the very same thing. There is nothing expected inbound for another 4-6 months The reply was heavily caveatted, so effectively don't base any plans on this. I suspect this is what they are hoping for.

Anyone who knows how long it usually takes between the "magic phoncall" and when you start your Type Rating?

nearly 7 months in my case.

But there's no telling. It could be less and it could be longer.

EZY Update

From the easyJet website:

"Our pilot recruitment needs for 2007 are close to being met and we are anticipating that further course spaces will not be available until at least October 2007, from which time they will resume again on a monthly basis.

As a result of this, we are offering some pilots, who have already had assessment dates confirmed, the opportunity to postpone these over the next few months in order to prevent a large gap opening between selection success and start date with us."

Not the news we perhaps want to hear, lets hope it doesn't cause any more extended lengths of the pool!

Guys,

I wouldn't worry too much what the EZY web site has to say. At the end of the day to run an airline you need to recruit a balance of pilots from TRI's down to the green chaps like us. What they put on their pages will be a blanket statement. We are to a point already in the system so don't panic. It is in CTC's interest to keep the pool "draining" thats how they make their money. I've been swimming since October and have built up some incredible shoulder muscles just staying afloat

Keep Swimming and don't forget the goose fat!!!!!!!!God knows what we will look like after this much time in the water

Is there anyone alive in there

After a little stir it seems to have gone very quiet again, is this because everyone drowned? or swept out of the pool? or the enthusiatic reporting buddies have gone and now it is upto some new people to keep us updated?Im not in the pool yet so Im a little out of the picture but would still like to know any info. No one has mentioned how many january or febuary AQC made it to the pool. and I am a little lost to how big the pool is at the moment. Any update people would Im sure be widely appreciated.

All the Best

Kerrrrsplash! 5 more of us have donned some rather sexy Speedos and taken a dive in from the February course. Our understanding was that the pool is now up to 30.

We have been told to expect to be in the pool for about 3-4 months, maybe more, maybe less. Not much more help to you seasoned swimmers but keep your heads above water.

Hi everyone!
I just have to check; due to problems with my e-mail address lately I would like to ask if anyone has gotten a February-update? We were told we would get an update every month from CTC, but I have only received one of those so far, and that was for December.

Cheers
HC

Just thought I would bring this post back to the top.

Man, I am one tired swimmer! I know we just got to be patient but......

I just wondered if anyone has any up to date info on the state of play within airlines/CTC or any news to give us all some more patience/hope or even any recent movement?!?!

Keep talking guys!
