Im gonna go way out on a limb here and guess the collection and drop off of staff bit is a mistake. Probably from an ad for operations staff or something!

A mate of mine who's a SFO on the A320 with a UK carrier had his interview on the monday, the sim check the next morning and was offered the position that afternoon. He has over 500 hours on type and is originally a DUB resident.

VFE.

Grrr

It was on the Aer Lingus website, but I see it has been removed, guess it was just a typo. For clarity here it is in full:
Aer Lingus Recruitment

As Aer Lingus continues to grow and expand we are adding additional A320 and A330 aircraft to our fleet in 2007. This will allow us to increase frequency on existing routes, expand our network to serve new routes and offer a greater choice of destinations to our customers.

These positions are available immediately. The successful candidates will initially operate on our short-haul routes, operated by A320 aircraft, on European flights from Dublin Airport.

To be considered for a position as Aer Lingus Direct Entry Pilot, applicants must be able to meet the following essential criteria:
IAA or JAR- FCL ATPL (or Frozen ATPL).
Current Class 1 Medical Certificate.
Permanently eligible to live and work in Ireland with an unrestricted worldwide passport.
Key Competencies:
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

I sent my details off a couple of weeks ago but nothing heard so far.

I take it all the applicants are rated on the 320?
Are there any non rated Pilots getting called for interviews ?

Sorry BR don't know.
Another question: Does anyone know
a) Time to Command
b) Time to transfer to the long haul fleet, and do you fly A320/330 when transferred.
Thanks.

I hear from early to mid April the non-rated applicants will begin to get assessments. This is just from one source close to recruitment so don't read into it too much.

Some recent Gecat SSTR applicants are also being screened at present.
