Wow like that is going to make it a whole 10 SOs in like 2.5 years, and that would be on the 777 fleet ? , have this fleet cracked the 100 mill in losses yet ?

Looks like someone is not handling the 'no' they got very well.

There was a few Ejet courses last year and in 2012 there a few 737s and Ejet. So in 2 1/2 years there has been recruitment across all fleets.

No, she said the application gets re-submitted to senior management with whatever changes have been made over the last 2 years, then if they're happy they re-call all of your referees.

I'm not sure there is such a thing as a domestic hold file anymore. Any new hires would be straight to the 777. There may be some internal shuffling of numbers but no talk of externals gaining a direct entry position on the 737/Emb.
Having said that, that may change if there was a large push for more crew, (unlikely scenario) as, IMHO the company would not be in a position, logistically, to upgrade large numbers of cruisers and fill the slots they leave simultaneously.

One thing that is clear though is that F/O numbers are quite short at the moment and have been for some time. Whether that means too much ad-hoc leave was taken over the last few months or resource planing are just refusing to concede remains to be seen.

To those that get the call, nice one and well done for hanging in there.

Delays in hearing back could be due to all internal applications including Cruise FO positions now made available to VARA pilots. This could mean VARA pilots will be offered positions before externals.

GAFA, how can that be when they're not on the group seniority list. Did they get the chance to apply to VANZ too??

Altimeters, don't know how it will work. I had a look at the recently advertised internal A330 and B777 positions and both contained links that allowed VARA pilots to apply internally.
