Eastern Airways recruiting!

I see that Eastern airways are recruiting again for first officers. Says 1000 hours minimum but they took on 2 guys last time with about 250 so obviously not set in stone.

Any takers?

Hmmm....I assume they are still running the previous deal? £13K for the TR and bond you £8K for the line training?

Could someone confirm what kind of salary a year 1 FO would be looking at? Not that I can think of any financial institution that would cough up a £13K unsecured loan at the moment (for a J41 TR?)

@MikeCR Yes, it is.

Eastern had been recruiting all this time anyway. Just a trickle.

Thought as much. I wouldnt have thought eastern would have to advertise for FO's. Experienced captains perhaps, when the need arises.

Angry

I sent them a CV speculatively and they responded (incredibley quickly) advising they were not recruiting...and also reminded me of minimum requirements.

Same Email

arc44,

i also sent them my CV yesterday, with a rapid reply saying the same.... it was very badly worded. It was almost like the Flight Ops Administrator had taken a generic email and tried to edit it

Its funny how these things work. I recieved a letter from my current employer stating how they didnt appreciate speculitive CV's and the letter was unsigned. Three weeks later I was offered a job on the A320 with them.

Letters like the one above are often sent by HR, who are clearly getting above themselves, so I really wouldnt worry about it too much, just keep pestering them!

Best of luck, CABUS

Still no answer for me. Not even an acknowledgment of reception.
And I applied 3 weeks ago.
Either they're slow or really disorganized.

Got asked if I'd self fund at TR and when I'd be available to start. Then got a follow up asking me about my current flying job and have heard nothing since except for an acknowledgement when I sent them my monthly hours update.

I got the same reply today about them not recruiting, and a reminder of the minimum hours required.

Nice to receive a reply for a change I suppose

Why would they advertise?

They more than likely get 50-60 CV's a week.

So they advertise and get 150 CV's a week.

Best bet with these regional operators is get to know someone in the company and then hit them with your CV when you hear they are doing some command upgrades or a heap of folk hand thier notice in.

Looking for a break;

Do you actually have a confirmed interview?

Where are you getting your information from?

I'm impressed by your optimism.

Be carefull!!!

Info from their web (copy-paste 22.05.2012)

ATTENTION: There is currently a scam running regarding job vacancies. It has been brought to our attention that a company is posing as Eastern Airways' and posting job vacancies for people to join the Eastern Airways team. They are primarily aimed at Non UK Citizens. As part of the process the company asks for visa details and payment.
DO NOT respond to any job vacancy adverts if they ask you to send the application to [email protected] official Eastern Airways jobs are displayed below.

Eastern Airways has no current vacancies for pilots. We do accept CV’s by email only to [email protected]
Please note our current minimum requirements are 1000 hrs total for FO, 3500 total for captains, and 1000 hrs on similar type.
We are unable to offer all candidates the opportunity to attend an assessment day but we will assess your application against our requirements. Unfortunately we cannot address your application progress by telephone.
