Has anyone out there heard the word interview yet. I sent an application in asap and got the standard letter but nothing since. Reckon it's a better than average oppotunity to get in with a company at an early stage and spend the years up near the top of the pile!!!!

WwhossatFORRUS AND cowpat BM has a chip on his shoulder bigger than any OZ from the 89 dispute if you can imagine such a possibility!! He came intoAviation the so called self improver route which seems by some to imply something that does not smell very pleasant!! He does not like ex military types such as me .I personally have never subscribed to any discrimination against self improvers and judge people by how they perform and behave,and there are good and bad from whatever background you come from. BM was infamous for the TTL {taxi to Luton!!} Anything else I might add could be considered libel!!

I`m still on PPRune line training so not a lot of experience here but this thread shows some of the features which are less than appealing about the forums!
I applied for the job(not type rated but lots of jet command time) I wonder how many of the people here are type rated and have flooded the recruitment situation with no intention of leaving their present positions!
Well done Whossat for a positve attitude!!

upwiththebirds, you say that the word is 'pilot requirments only just make double figures', so that's about 10 pilots required then, that's barely 1 fully crewed aircraft, as I thought upwards of 23 B757 were being based at EMA, or am I missing something, could you please elaborate on your information.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Upwithbirds!
How do you crew 23 757s with just "double figures"?
Like Noaxetogrind I have a lot of heavy jet command time but not type rated genuinely looking for a position.
Most of my time has been in cargo flying and
from the period of pax flying I did and I cant really see why anyone would give that up for a DHL type job UNLESS they had pressing location or personal reasons.
My reason is no day job to give up at moment!
Very keen to here first news on any interview dates standard Steve Yates letter only so far

Sorry . Didn't make that very clear did I! I should have said "initially". Don't expect all the aircraft will turn up at once so they'll obviously need a steady supply. Didn't mean to be over gloomy either. I was disappointed too although I'm lucky enough to have a fairly good job , I fancied the change in lifestyle, but I'm told that numerous type rated Kestrels have gone for it. Nothing would give me greater pleasure than to be completely wrong!

The package isn't going to be the heartache, time serve invariably gives some return. The most important thing is to have guys 'n' gals around who have the vision and motivation to get this operation off the ground and make the future existence a realistic prospect. No-one ever started out with a blank sheet and ended up near the top without some serious effort put in by all concerned. If the new boss is a hard guy then so much the better, he just needs the type of people who can tell him straight and still get the job done while he jumps on 'em.

Yep..loadsa kestrels have applied. Speaks volumes about the terms and conditions within the touring company not to mention the outlook for improvement. For example the duty allowance rate has just gone from £2.11 to £2.18 which is an increase of marginally over 3%. Pathetic.
