Air southwest, Cityjet - hiring?
I've been diligently sending updated CV's to these guys for over a year now as my experience has been building steadily... all the time told "sorry, not recruiting at all at the moment, will keep you on file" etc
So I am a bit miffed to read updates on Pilot Jobs Network in the last few days saying Air Southwest has "4 new FOs just finishing TR" and CityJet has "new hires to LCY"
Should I just take these updates with a pinch of salt as they can be updated by anyone or does anyone think that the likes of Oxford and the other big schools are getting 1st dibs on any vacancies? (assuming these are non-rated hires)

Hi,
PJN seems not to be accurate at all
.
Regarding Cityjet, no recruitment planned. Lot of FOs still on involuntary part time, pay freeze and allowances reduction extended for one more year, few cadets are working in the office while waiting for a TR course wich is of course continuously postponed. 3 captains recently sacked, 1 suspended
.
And overcrewed in LCY, opportunities for FOs to relocate in DUB or temporarly in Paris.
Volcano ash... well, only god knows what will happen
.
Good luck with your application

Not sure CityJet has ever recruited directly from the FTOs whilst Air Southwest has (in the past). Neither of them operate a Pay to Fly scheme.
Generally its a difficult time for all. Sorry. But keep chugging away and something will happen.

No of course I don't think I have any right to a job, i'm not that naive! That wasn't really the point of the thread... I'm trying to gauge the validity of these PJN updates
