Flexicrew F/O's.
Hi,
I was given to understand that the London bases are indeed where there is/will be the most demand for pilots but that you(as a F/O) may put in a request for your base of preference.
CTC mentioned to me that such requests are "normally" granted (I don't know how true that is though).I hope that helps.

Why are people allowing themselves to be exploited like this just to get a jet job? There are still companies out there with relatively humane conditions for new FOs, and yet clearly there are still applicants for these pitiful schemes. Is the lure of the jet so attractive? I honestly can't understand it. I know for a fact that there are TP jobs out there which don't involve nonsense 'flexi' contracts. Are there no instructor jobs? What about air charter?

I think the problem is you can't buy your way into those TP, instructing or charter jobs so unlikely that they would get hired on their merits alone. Better to be shafted as at least you can say you are an airline pilot.

To be flexi crew you have to have a flexi wallet too, you may well get charged for the sim assessment once you register an interest in a job and don't expect to get paid the whole month, that's why it's cheap to the airlines. It would appear CTC are acting as an agency but using their own facilities and your money to filter candidates. On a full time roster you would fly about 20 days a month, so 90% is 18 days a month.. does this mean you get paid for 18 days or a full month.. I can guess! Hopefully for the sake of these guys I'm wrong..But if you've just done a TR course, any experience and the chance to keep current is better than zero, but for £1000 a month?

Loganair just recruited six FO's, four of whom were fresh out the box/instructors. Air Contractors are also recruiting. I believe that there are ATR operators further afield looking for people. This is just of the top of my head, so I'm sure there are others if you look hard enough.

Tubbs,
unfortunately without time on type no way even if 1 or 2 companies are hiring without type and hours.
How many FO on the ground ?
What are the minimums for such or such company ?
For the time being the situation is at it is maybe in the future it will improve and conditions also, don't forget that we are talking about a LC company their aim is to make money not to give you a hudge salary in other words take it or leave it, so let's hope for the best.
Bye

Just a small point to consider is that if you take the 'paid by the hour' job, there is NO guarantee of minimum hours and the pay is by rostered block hour only.
Why should EZY keep fully salaried crews on the ground still on salary, when the sector pay is less than the 1 hour rate, and fly the pay per hour guys?

, during this time you stay in your car, you live in your car, and you try to eat sandwich from the terminal.
