I work for Excel and I'm not aware of any redundancies. Good to work for with bases in LGW and MAN. Sensible attitudes seem to prevail, unlike a few other airlines I could mention ........

Hi Skyclamp,
Excel have 5 B737-800s, two based at MAN and three at Gatwick. Going by what I was told there are very few night stops but you do get night charters to fly. Roster is fairly stable, you get one every two weeks and you don't get many changes.
There are rumours that if the industry picks up Excel will get other aircraft. In airliner world a couple of months ago it was mentioned that they'll be basing a B737 at Bristol.
On the whole it's a small airline without ambitions of operating 30+ airplanes in the next couple of years. I reckon it could be more secure than other airlines.

In my opinion this is an unacceptable practice, which is clearly taking advantage of those that effectively have no choice but to pay if they wish to work. Does anyone know if Ryanair are taking the £50 applications from applicants that are not type rated, or otherwise do not meet the minimum requirements? Billy the kid, I think you have made some good points here, I hope you here something soon. As a point of interest I will check out the “charging for application” laws, and post the findings in a thread.

Darbo, OWK thanks for the info.
When I spoke to Excel's MS she said there is a 6 months contract at £4.2K/pcm this is low, but they can't bond you. So if you become full time as a direct entry captain, what's the basic pay?
A BRS base would be nice! I'll call next week.

Hi SKYCLAMP,
Basic pay for a full-time Captain should be around £ 48,000 per year. My feeling is the people that Excel will take on early next year will be offered permanent contracts later on. This is only my opinion based on the industry starting already to pick-up and the British people still going on holiday. Come September 2002 things will be back to normal, if terrorists don't do some other flying stint...

Can anyone help me please?
I have completed an on-line application with Ryanair more than 3 weeks ago. I had not received an acknowledgement, but now it also turns out that there was no fee charged from my credit card either.
I have tried to call all the Ryanair numbers that I have, but none of them are accessible or in use.
What's the best I can do except re-applying or giving up?
Thanks for the help!
