If you read "zog's" recent topic on "What the Pilots at Airtours think" then you will understand their managements desperation in "cold calling".
After the result of the ongoing and overdue pay negotiations are made known I think there will be a need for a lot more "cold calling" later this year as their long serving flight deck crews are finding themselves more and more left behind on the industry average.

Who do you think that the No. 1 IT operator to work for at the moment is Gorilla?
Leaving the RAF soon and keen to know who the guys within the industry would recommend. Surprised to hear about Airtours; their presentation at the BALPA Job Conference in October was first-class. Many of the military chaps who were there were impressed by what they heard......seems a shame if there is a general level of unhappiness within the company.

GA,
the time has finally come has it? Most of the major IT bods have similar packages and route structures but the big diff is roster stability. Brits is very good now since they brought in block windows and Monarchs is ok. I've heard JMC and Airtours rosters leave something to be desired. Don't know about Air 2000.
Flak jkt on!

Offset, I fail to see how my remarks could be construed as "moaning". The recent survey conducted within the pilot workforce at "The Touring Company" came up with some pretty damning statistics. Gentleman Aviator can draw his own conclusions from them.
The company would be on a par with other IT operators with its initial financial package. Death in Service benefits are lower than average however. The point to consider is that the company's annual incremental increases are below the industry average and stop anyway after ten years. After being with the company for just a couple of years you will "feel the draft". these are not moans but hard facts.
"If you don't like the heat get out of the kitchen" has always been my attitude to people who constantly moan about their employment, but it does seem sad that there is no reward for long and diligent service within the company.
On the plus side:
Good choice of aircraft and bases.
Good command prospects.
Interesting route structure with stopovers in wide range of destinations.
You sit alongside the some of the most pleasant aviators in the business.
..................none of which pays my mortgage (is that another moan?)

jmc rosters are consistently late, they are supposed to be published in the middle of the preceeding month but generaly emerge about 7 days before you start flying that roster. Also there is almost zero night stops for the 320/757.

mickg,
Glad to hear that you are alive and well...hopefully a little less paperwork in your new job?!
Always difficult to know who to try to target for employment. Clearly it would be difficult to carry out detailed study of every airline in the UK for potential interview. In addition it would seem to be unfair wasting the time of busy airline recruitment staff.
I imagine that when it comes down to the 'vinegar strokes' in the final month or so before departure from QFC, such informed choices are irrelevant - mortgage to pay, I'll work for anyone! However, in the stress-free 12 month lead in I thought that I would try to find where the happiest crews were.
Stupid question time! : Are Brits BA, Brittania or someone else? TVM

AIH still offer excellent prospects. About 3 years to Command for folks with the right experience. OK, join BY with all the bells and whistles, but your arse will be firmly in the starboard side for many years. A 10 year head start in the airbridge side will pay a big dividend. Tally Ho, last one back's a homo.
