Britannia (Episode 2)
After months of loyal services the "Britannia" was closed. I reopen it then now hoping for some good news in the next few months (weeks... days... hours... 
)

Threads are normally closed when they reach 100 posts because of the load that they place on the server. Although I didn't do it, I'd guess that was what happened in this case.

Glad to see that the spirit is still going, any news that arises that comes my way i will pass on, unfortunately still nothing on the grape vine but this a quiet time of year. rumour has it that bookings are at worse 10% down as predicted but what is there is selling...so we'll still be flying and the clock is ticking towards guys use by dates... so keep the faith it will happen.!

Throwing this to the top and adding some food for thought.. .. .Britannia are taking cabin crew on in readiness for the summer. Recent advertisement in Flight for Mantenance personnel. Has to be more positive than NOT taking people on right?. .. .Also less 757 guys than previously thought as well as recent ads for Swedish 757 co. hungry for crew. Throw in the fact that the company went from recruiting 30-ish? (not sure of number) to nil, must indicate SOMETHING has got to give!. .. .Im still not holding my breath, but there it is... .. .MAX <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="cool.gif" />

All good signs I'd say. Apparently a mate of mine who's amongst the 17 JMC guys supposed to leave that outfit in May,has told me that already 5 have found something else. You mentioned the Swedish operator, quite rightly so because their files have been passed on to this start up and to otheer agencies.. .Can't be that many 75 drivers readily available (or perhaps it's me in a state of "denial" <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> ) so hey, we could be on a good one here. I guess as usual, patience is the name of the game.. .. .Max, enjoy the Citation mate

Check out the Air2Bob and JMC thread in Rumours! And we want to work for these guys?. .. .Is there much merit in the thought that Brits get guys like us for 3 years, pay us 10k less and we've already got through the process? I never can work out how management work.. .. .MAX <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="cool.gif" /> . .. .edited to get my cool guy right.. . . . <small>[ 06 March 2002, 22:59: Message edited by: MAX ]</small>

Back to the top again!. .. .A bit of news on my behalf. Decided to bite the bullet, get another loan and go to CTC. I did the AQC course in Jan. Started my 737 type rating two weeks ago. Called for an interview last week by EasyJet and got the job! Might be worth having a look at!

Congrats mate. Nice to see that by taking a positive gamble it has payed dividends. Personally Im not in a situation to give CTC a shot so I'll just sit hoping the phone will ring. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" /> Which it will. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> . .. .MAX <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="cool.gif" />. . . . <small>[ 17 March 2002, 18:41: Message edited by: MAX ]</small>

Constant Speed /DU. Well done! No doubt you will be a loss to Brit but in this game the only career manager who is going to do the best for you is yourself. i am really pleased for you , the break does come and by god its welcome when it finally shows its self. News from brit, well its a barren featurless desert out there Darling! to quote his eminence Brigadeer sir hogmany Melchet!. .. .things on the line are hectic and hopefully we will recruit flight deck soon, but when we do no doubt we will be the last to know!!. .. .regards to all and keep going, it will happen!!!!. .. .regards. .. .Chinchaser

Well sorry to be the bearer of bad news but from a recent telephone call to ´the relevant person´, i was told that load factor was "lax, very lax". .. .Also that recruitment is very unlikly for this year, early next year is a possibility and is a wait and see thing. . .. .On the good news he confirmed(!?) that the holding pool would be telephoned first (over type-rated seemed to be the impression) and i also got the impression that the hold pool was classed as ´recruited´and therefore exempt from the 12 month recruitrment freeze. (only my impression of the conversation though).. .. .As most of us know already the advice was to remain as current as possible and call in regularly (every month?) to check the situation.. .. .well if anyone else wants to add anything go ahead as the thread has died a bit lately. I´m off on holiday to drown my sorrows in sun, sea, sand and .......well you know the rest... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="cool.gif" /> . .. .bye for now. .. .BB <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="rolleyes.gif" />. . . . <small>[ 27 March 2002, 13:10: Message edited by: Bluebaron ]</small>

This mean no recruitment for 'non recruited guys'? Does it also mean no courses for 'recruited' pilots? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="confused.gif" /> . .. .I havent been able to raise a certain HR person so have no real news to report. Good luck to everyone for the next 12months <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" /> . .. .MAX <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="cool.gif" />

Ok Guys and girls, seriously unsubstantiated rumour from within the beast, there appears to be a course penciled in for early summer, not confirmed but the possibilitiy would seem to be getting firmer.
it will happen so keep the faith and happy hunting!

Thanks Chinchaser, definitely nice to hear that sort of rumor.... Let's hope then.
MAX ! My offer stands more than ever mate and if you were right, well I won't hold that against you.
Sorry had to edit the post because THAT'S what we will be drinking
