What sort of hours requirements are they looking for please? I would normally check it out myself, but for some reason Thomas Cook is coming up as a banned webpage at work! Must have scantily clad ladies as advertising on the front......

Pay Scales?
Have the 2 different pay scales been integrated or do they remain independent? If you apply for a My Travel Position (Base) do you get that if successful or could you end up in a Thomas Cook position (Base) and vice versa, if you applied through a different website?

There are still two diffrent pay scales (at the time of posting) though this is still being negotiated, any new employees will be on the MYT payscale, T+C etc... this is due to MYT being the host AOC for the merger.
Base list have already been published in the company and although there are still some changes that are likely to happen by the time the recruitment and training has been started all bases will have been merged together and both companies will be acting as one.
As for applying i would advise applying to the one in the advert as mentioned in a previous post.

1)can someone clarify the montly takehome after taxes for someone who join with an atpl? Figures for mytravel on ppjn look outdated.
2)Anyone could shed some light on the type of roster flown on the 320? Overnights? 4 sectors days? single days off? any form of pbs? Any chance to get 5 days off in a row to get home every month?
3)Do you get staff travel with alitalia or any other italian airline?
4)Time to go on the 330?

2) Random rostering with routes that depend on base, in the summer flying will be 99% in and out of base with no night stops. 99% of flight are 2 sector (some 3 sector days on routes with have fuel/payload issues). Days off are normallys in blocks of two's possibly three's, occasionally the will roster a single day off, no chance of 5 in a row in the summer however winter is much quieter so it is possible.
3) Staff travel department is good so probably but not sure.
4) At the moment it is fully crewed, however this is just as changeable as everything, no set time to get on the aircraft as done on seniority.
Hope this has helped

The payscales on PPJN are a little bit off, since they're from a few pay rises ago (2.6% then 0.9% then 4.7%). So compounding that to get the current rates multiply the PPJN ones by something like 1.0839. A Year 1 SFO then becomes £47210, which my favourite tax calculator reckons will give you £2800-odd with let's say £200 quid a month allowances to add on too...
