For 777 FO applicants they accept people with experience on 737NG, 75/76, 744 and 777. So if you don't have any time in one of the above, it will be tough to be competitive.......

Hi NineInch

Im new on this forum and interested in joining EY.

Im current on B737NG (FO with ATPL) with 3800 hrs on type and 4200 TT. I applied for the 777 position on their website. Do you think i have a chance to be shortlisted..??

Mister Geezer

I have recently submitted my A320 F/O application and shortly after I submitted it, I was informed that I was not shortlisted. Is this due to my application being at fault or have EY got plenty of applicants as it is?

I comfortably meet their experience requirements so I am a little bit puzzled!!!

Bluebaron

this happened to me so i re submitted on the A340 and am now awaiting interview. I Think it was a 777 thing?

Mister Geezer

I suspect they have had lots of Airbus applicants so those with a Airbus rating are getting priority which is only fair!

GMIMA

Just putting the finishing touchs to my 330 application.

whats a typical roster for the 330 fleet? decent block days off? is the roster commuterable back to the uk? anybody got an example of one?

whats the typical routes flown for the 330?

Most likely layovers (which cities)?

Whats the crack with the housing situation i.e. rent to buy scheme etc?

Whats the TRE/TRIs like and the everyday line captains to work with?

What is the take home pay like including all the allowances, can you have a decent standard of living out there?

Any top tips for the interview ie. questions??

thanks guys

Class
0) Jan 5th ( 4 Capt A320,2 F/O A320, 3 F/O A330)
1) Feb 2th or 9th ( don't know how many)
2) March 2th or 9th ( don't know how many)
3) April 6th ( don't know how many)

After this at least 40 pilots on the holding pool ready to fill another classes.

Rgds and good luck Guys. Acft are coming ( A330 14 JAN A6-EYR / A320 - 31 JAN A6-EIK / A330 25 MAR A6-EYS )

PS: Total Acft Deliveries this year as EVPO comment ( 6 A330,2 A340,2 A320)

So good prospects for future EY Pilots!

I know of about 6 people that were scheduled and then canceled for these classes you mention in Feb, Mar and April. Do you know if these classes are still being held?

They were told that 2 A320's were not available and thus they were not needed. Does your statement that 2 A320's will be delivered in 2009 take into account the 2 that are not being delivered? In other words are there still 2 more coming, or is it now zero A320's for 2009?

KRUGERFLAP

As i said only two A320 for 2009 as of today.
But a total of at least 10 acft by the ende of 09.

The classes are still up but cut by half and most of the guys did the assessment in july,august and september.

any word on how long upgrade on the a320 or 330 would be?. i cannot get a straight answer from anyone working there. I was supposed to be in the january 5th class but had to postpone due to some family issues. in the pool now, probably for a while

Chippybus

I have 1300 hrs P1 on A340 and 8000 TT would that be good enough for a DEC on A340 or would they stick to the requested 2500hrs P1 ?

Safe flying all

sioux115

Is EY still only shortlisting pilots with TR's? I know that was the case during their last roadshows. Currently a lifetime FO with no chance for upgrade to receive the a TR.

KRUGERFLAP

Not a chance right.

1) Too many pilots who wanna join with lots os experience and above the limits state in the website.Especially from QR

2) Good new is that so may fellow american pilots(not good news for them) are being pulled out from the Pool direct to the street,because they are not current anymore.So they should start assessments soon.


P.S: I am not against americans.One of my best friend is from USA.For me they are most than wellcome. On my class there where 2.But GCAA has this rule,so they vanish with the guys not current.Very sad i must say.

Massalama,

See you in Abu Dhabi

Krugerflap,

Where did you get this info from?

I am one of the poolies and so far we haven't heard anything from Capt.Matta's office Current or not current!!! Most of the guys are still waiting to hear "something" as it's been pretty quiet since they cancelled most of the class assignements they gave in december/january.

Thanks to let us know who gave you this info, because if it's true, it's going to create some serious panic among the poolies...........

NineInchSnail

The job offer we got is valid for 12 months (apparently the security clearance is valid for 12 months), so it gives every non current pilot in the pool a few months to get current again (by getting a 320 job somewhere) and get ready for a class before the 12 months time frame expires.

If they just decide to get rid of every non current (as of today) pilot , then that's just wrong!!

Brad757

I'm curious, How did this not affect Emirates? Where they not hiring CRJ candidates w/o experience in anything larger? GCAA oversees both airlines so far as I can tell.

NineInchSnail

The 6 months currency rule from GCAA allows EY to put current pilots through a "short course":one quick groundschool and 3 simulator sessions and you're all set for line training. Nothing prevents EY to put the selected pilots through the "long course", but it's more expensive.........

hi guys when did etihad start the interveiw? i applied long time ago but no response, any idea about the selection process?

thanks

Hi Guys Have You Seen An Openeing For Both Capt And Fo Positi On For B737-2?

Thanks.

Krugerflap,

Are you sure about that? It does not seem like a very cost effective move on Etihad's part. Assuming they have to interview at least 3 canidates for every 1 that passes and it probably costs at least 5k per canidate it could represent 150k+ in interview costs to flush just 10 pilots out of the pool. Just so they can save the difference between short course and long course? That strikes me as spending a dollar to save a dime.
