Aer Lingus - Direct Entry Pilots

[stellar]

EI ceasing operation to DXB

Any truth to the rumour that EI is pulling out of DXB-DUB.V. disappointing news if so perhaps the source is confused with the Shannon/LHR cesation of operation. Please confirm. Stellar

[Blinkz]

does anyone have any idea how this is going to affect people in the hold pool? The press release says:

Over 100 new jobs will be created directly through local recruitment of pilots and cabin crew

Does that mean that they are planning on separately recruiting pilots from Northern Ireland? It seems a waste of money to put people through selection again when they have people in the hold pool ready to go! Or could it just be a little PR wording mixed in?

Also, as I understand it a lot of NI pilots are flying for Aer Lingus as it is so I guess they will be very keen to move back home!

any thoughts?

[Agent Oringe]

Food for thought....
Will the BFS Buses be EI or G registered?
In which case will there be 2 AOC's ?
I hear that a 330 is probably also going to be based in BFS.

[dlav]

I'd imagine EI on the tails...
doesnt seem to cause any problems for Ryanair, although I could be wrong?
Cheers

They will only be operating a single AOC. I believe they had 80 applicants for the 15 DE skippers' jobs

[jonjoe]

despite IFALPA recruitment ban....respect, lads.

[missterrible]

Interesting situation for applicants:

If IALPA win they could be toast.

If ALT win their contracts could quickly be toast as there would be no defence available and who would defend such 'opportunists' (nicest word I could come up with).

I wouldn't leave a good job for a situation like that, at least not until the situation gets clearer.

[omoko joe]

and who says most of them didn't apply before the IALPA recruitment ban? It wasn't exactly immediate. Sort it out guys.

[jonjoe]

worried about your application....?

[omoko joe]

er..no. Unless they are planning on taking people in at year 8. Last time I checked though NI was the domain of BALPA not IALPA.

[jonjoe]

check again my friend.
i think you'll find an agreement between ialpa and balpa.
good luck with the application......

[missterrible]

Will all the checks, PCs, Ground School etc be done by IALPA pilots based in Dublin?

Even after the base is up and running?

[jonjoe]

What do you think?

[jonjoe]

I think a lot of people would do the same.

[omoko joe]

Well as it's much worse than the deal I'm already on, I think i'll give it a miss. Anyways wouldn't want to deprive you of a command in the low pay unit

[Bad Robot]

"check again my friend.

Any reason why there is no such ban on the BALPA website then ?

Just curious, that's all ????

The ban is covered on the http://www.ifalpa.org website.

Copied and pasted from the member section of ifalpa website: UK (Balpa) third from bottom. If you look at the Ialpa homepage it dosen't mention it either. It seems to be only on the Ifalpa section under Recrutiment ban on its homepage.

Anybody heard anything back yet from EI on the Belfast recruitment. Applications closed on the 31/8

They have an update on the website that it was oversubscribed.

[Blinkz]

Well I doubt they will be doing anything until the issue with IALPA is settled. Does anyone know what is happening with it? Last rumour I heard was that they were going to allow transfers from Dublin to Belfast?
