Aer Lingus Interviews

[Bad Robot]

Are they still going ahead or not? As it has gone very quiet. I see the BFS grand opening has been postponed to January. Who is going to operate the flights already sold for the 10th December? Looks like a bit of a PR disaster.

[EjetSetter]

Yes a PR disaster. Pilot Related.

Thanks IALPA, hopefully your sucess will spark others!

[FO JimmieJames]

How come when it comes to Aer Lingus, it just seems like one damn thing after the next?

opening on 10th december

It is not true that it is postponed. I checked with ei today. All going ahead as planned , i was told.

[nrm2]

Dont think its postponed - cabin crew training starts on monday, with both juniors and seniors trained intime for the 10th Dec opening

[Ryans-Aer]

They have delayed some Cabin crew training according to one of their newbies.

[Snappybits]

They can delay the training as they can support the BFS station from DUB. Initally only one a/c is required to do the AMS rotation.

Has anyone accurate information about what is happening at Aer Lingus? Have people being offered jobs? Have they finished hiring?

Have applicants being contacted with a yes or no answer?

Any info would be welcome.

Thanks

[Ryans-Aer]

Several DEC's have now finished the process and have signed contracts recently for start dates in a few weeks. Some were given contracts before any sim or medical, some were offered contacts only after completing all stages. taking advantage of Mr Cullen's 'blind eye'

[Bad Robot]

So if you haven't heard anything, is that a good or bad sign? Do they send out PFO's or do they just let you fester? Has anybody had a PFO, those who have been waiting a couple of weeks? Or are are there more negotiations between the Union to sort out first?

I'm not minded either way whether it's for DUB or BFS.
I would just like to know! Is there actually a Plan at all?

BR.

[chec tunset]

I know a few guys who went to see them. No PFO letter. No correspondence. They all gave up weeks ago but they all had 3 months or more required notice in common. In fairness none of them seemed too concerned..they all had good jobs anyway.

[eagle21]

Anyon received a rejection letter? Did any of you waiting for the sim assesment actually contact EI and ask them whwther they were still be considered or not?

Any info will be appreciated

[Lord Lardy]

A colleague of mine has an interview and physcometric testing with Aer Lingus next week. The recruitment is ongoing. Wouldn't get too worked up about some letters being sent out.

[Callsign Kilo]

A friend of mine received a letter on Thursday to say he had been unsuccessful with his application for FO. He was a low hours bod.

[EjetSetter]

BFS' T&C's

So what are the agreed upon T&C's at Belfast?

[omoko joe]

Still hiring DEC's apparently. Unrated and this time for courses in March and beyond.

Ha! Some more after our 7 "friends" is it?

[omoko joe]

I believe there are several more in the pipeline.

[Visual Calls]

Pray tell, Omoko Joe, the basis for your rumour.

[omoko joe]

No rumour involved. It's fact and mildly interesting from the sidelines too considering the IALPA agreement was supposed to have stopped it. I'm just curious as to where it ends. Do both sides just pretend it isn't happening or will will they cobble together something meaningful that both sides can stick to.
