They are not being charged for the type rating. They will be bonded as per the traditional arrangement for direct entry pilots in Aer Lingus. The company were considering charging for the rating but have decided against it.

Are you sure about that? I believe someone also came from one of the clubs/schools at Weston Aerodrome also, who I believe was not involved with Oxford at all.

25K for A320 type rating
Yes it is true. They are taking non rated guys but expecting you to self fund at a cost of €25K for an A320 rating. Thinking they might be linking up with Parc who have been recently approved to conduct 320 ratings. Parc have a long history with Aer Lingus and in particular a certain EI A320 Captain (from somewhere around Brrrrrrrrrrrrr!) is behind Parc Training and would love a nice new supply of people willing to part with that kind of dosh.

The number doing the rounds over the next year or two, seems to range in the region of 150 direct entry pilots. I guess this depend on what happens with the open skies agreement, and what happens next with Ryanair and their anticipated renewed take-over bid
The management are now talking about bases outside Dublin, so that will obviously increase numbers. However, the LRC this week allowed the company the concession to pay local rates at local bases.
They have been recruiting experienced/type rated guys from the likes of Monach, Easy, Eirjet (RIP) and Ryanair. However, they have also taken on people recently with just a frozen ATPL. There is only a finite supply of type rated guys, so after that if your the right person for the job, then your in!

SNAM,
Following discussions between IALPA and Aer Lingus, there is no charge for TR for any pilot joining Aer Lingus. Normal bonding arrangements will apply as has been the case heretofore.
EI-RB,
About a year ago a useful thread on recruitment in AerLingus had to be closed down because of your persistant allegations, despite plentiful evidence to the contrary from many knowledgeable sources, that employment as a pilot in Aer Lingus could be gained by having 'contacts'. You are now, again, claiming that people recently hired 'obviously have contacts'. This is both untrue and unfair. If you have evidence to substantiate your claim please produce it. If not please allow people to get on with their jobs.

EI-RB,
Its not hard to get into EI if your the right person. Thats applies to any company. EI has standards, if you don't meet those standards, then I guess its tough luck.
Contrary to what you may think, having contacts doesn't help. You still have to jump through the hoops to get in. Naturally over the years there have been cases where sons/daughters have ended up flying for the company. The only advantage they have had has been a greater awareness of whats involved working for the company. Nothing else. Its sour grapes if you believe anything else!

I got called recently after hearing nothing for over a month.
Can anyone give the approx pay after tax (ie what drops in the bank) for an FO with plenty of time on type?
Also, anyone heard of a crew leasing deal with them and Vietnam Airlines?
