Monarch winter recruitment...
I have seen that Monarch are showing +ve on pilotjobsnetwork.com - can anyone currently working for them give any info on numbers being sought - and for which fleet?
What is the starting pay? - i realise you are just coming to the end of negotiations on this, but ballpark would be good. Any other info, all the usual stuff, average rosters, bases etc would be a bonus.
Thank you
FP.

Was accepted in to their Holding Pool a while ago...
They are looking to start training new recruits early next year. There are vacancies at all bases and for all types.
Basic pay is about c. £42k and £2.64/hr flying pay (goes up to £3.02 for an over night stop)
The A320s out of MAN are working very hard (approx 8-900 hrs a year), other fleets aren't working as hard.
This was all mentioned in the interview, although there is a pay dispute going on, not sure if it's been resolved yet.
PM for more details.

As mentioned on PPJN looking to hire approx. 50 new pilots. However the company has been advertising in Flight International a couple of months ago. So i don't know how many people are in the holding pool at the moment.
There is a ballot on the latest company pay offer as we speak.

From what I hear, the requirements are ;
A320. LGW, LTN, BHX and MAN. A hard working fleet doing most of the schedules and with the 330 to look forward to.
B757. LGW and MAN only. A hard word working summer fleet at LGW with lots of night flights. 767 takes a couple of years.
A300. LGW and MAN only. Still lots of debate as to whether they will be around for long so may not be offered. Short of F/O's at the moment for reason just mentioned. Good if you can get it.
B787. Prepare for lots of backstabing and tantrums!
Not too much positioning in taxis if LGW or MAN based.

757 driver, lots of positioning in taxi's everywhere with monarch, expect minimum days off rostered, constant plot changes, mornings to nights followed by taxi's across the country.
I believe it is going to be 10 f/o's on the A300 this winter.This is to cover promotions and equalise capt/fo numbers.A lot of the captains have to fly in the rhs at the moment.Quite what the company intends to do with this fleet remains a mystery even to them.You do not work hard and flights sometimes resemble an airborne base check,but it keeps you on your toes!
