Britannia conference at Oxford
 

Everyone,

Oxford have released the summary of the conference that Mike Underdown, Cheif Pilot with Britannia, gave. It concerns such things as recruitment, salary (which looks very nice!) and status etc.

Also, anyone think Britannia are biased to Oxford? I sent them an email regarding second officer requiment, and I got there standard auto=response type email, which at the end says "If you would like anymore information with regards to becoming a commercial pilot, please contact .....Oxford (Oxfords adress and telephone number)".

Also, why did they go to Oxford for the talk? Just thinkin'

Strange since they have signed a contract for a sponsered course for February in Jerez?

Hello all,

just a quick note to point out that Mike Underdown is not the chief pilot of Britannia (would hate anyony to get the easy stuff wrong in an interview). Good luck

Sorry, I meant so say he is a Captain, Pilot Manager. Came out wrong.

bluebaron, where did you find the sponsorship information!? This is great news!

Thought it was common knowledge, whoops ;)

Suggest you give them a call, or BAE for the details as i don´t think it´s been offically released yet.

Well, I emailed Jerez a few days ago regarding the Britannia sponsorship. They replied saying there was a possibility but nothing is confirmed as of yet.

Speaking to other FTO's however, its looking very likely. :)

Had a look at their website and so far there is no news! When do you think they will start advertising for this? Also will they be part-sponsored or full sponsored? I think in the 'good old days' they were part sponsoring students.
If anyone could do some digging that would be great!

A little dicky bird told me adverts and recruitment for the sponsorship would start in September. :)

I know just how keen you are - been there myself.

However.........

Brits is about to contract with CTC for 6 co-pilots on a six month contract. Any adverts that appear shortly will probably want 757/767 qualified pilots.

There is also a list of pilots from Brits German subsidiary who are waiting to join.

But keep your fingers crossed.
