Hi there
Any chance to get some infos from the insiders regarding possible -or not- F/O's recruitment over the mid-term future?
How is life there roster wise?
What might be the deal for the non rated joiners?
Thanks
Bleeds

A few too many f/o's at some bases at the moment.
With regard to not being type rated they'll politely make you pay £3000 up front and then take £333 out of your pay for the next three years (£15000).

Currently Bhx is slightly overcrewed with f/o's but some are trying to get into mainline. Rostering is heavy in the summer months, I regularly got over 90hrs, and lighter (about 60hrs) in the winter months. Most of the earlies check in about 6am, and the lates vary but many land after midnight.

Bleeds Off,
from the CP today,
at the moment he is only interested in rated and experienced first officers and expects there to be no direct entry commands for 2008.
Time to command is/was probably one of the quickest in the industry.
At the moment there are fo,s who are taking commands and some that are moving on.Attrition rate is not that great at the moment.
All in all a good gig,excellent training,not a bad package,company have honoured first year of agreed three year deal,roster is tending to be a bit more stable,though summer is only just upon us so time will tell!
New fleet would be good news.

I guess those who have planned to join RYR at some point might be reconsidering, given MOL's anticipation to ground a significant number of airframes on the coming winter.
Though, would be interested to have an idea of the number of guys/girls still interested in making the move.

PS - Is the recruitment main person still Capt P. Durnford ?

The only people I've heard talking about Ryanair are those that are desperate to stay in BHX and believe Ryanair will eventually force baby and Fly Be out. This may well happen in the long term but isn't going to happen by next summer as some seem to believe. By then there may be other, better options. If you talk to the people who've worked there those that are thinking of jumping may be in for a few nasty surprises.

Baby gets on at EME Because EZY and FR let them!! They would be crushed if the big boys wanted them out. It is only due to continental expansion that means the big boys have bigger fish to fry......for the moment.

The CP's only interested in experienced F/Os? Sure that's what he wants but not quite sure where he's going to find them, apart from RYR or Eastern Europe. Especially not with BA taking on loads of Pilots this year. Baby is a good first job, and good if you want a regional base with quick command. Also their type rating scheme is actually quite generous compared to RYR and other carriers. 15k is about right and most is interest and tax free.
