To Clarify, They have only taken on 10-12 so far (all on the bus).
They are looking at another 10-12 (possibly TR'ed CTC guys) to fill the gaps of coming resignations.
= total recruitment for this year of 22ish. As it stands at the moment all will be for the bus.

Hi,
Yes I had an interview in mid december but was unsucessful. They said they would keep my records on file for any future recruitment opportunities, so just hoping they may be looking at recruiting more people.

I hear that BA/Virgin are struggling to get TR guys.
BA had 1400 applications in one week, how are they struggling?
....I have heard Virgin have rejected A330 qualified guys too.
Now back to MON...

Their website says quite the opposite, though. Are they emptying the holding pool 1st or fishing those TCX-folks that fear for their jobs?
Is it correct to assume that the ONLY way to apply is through the website or is there a top-brass' email somewhere?
Outlook:
30+ FO's needed for 2012, some possibly on the 757. 7/Dec/11

Really? I didn't know that!
I knew that cadets were sourced through one company, however that isn't a "monopoly" position, as there are a number of schools that compete in this marketplace. One may be contracted at any given time, but just as with fuel suppliers, handling agents, caterers, etc. value is always under review.
Outside of the cadet requirement, "experienced" F/O's are recruited from the traditional sources and generally in accordance with the minimum levels of experience required, which are significantly in excess of what might be termed "low experience."
At the present time, recent commercial events have resulted in a number of qualified, current, type rated and experienced pilots being available in the marketplace. I am sure that a proportion of pilots from these sources are being considered for the current round of projected vacancies.

Cadets or Experienced?

Sadly experienced operators are being overlooked in favour of MPL route - see recent adverts in Flight.
EZY, TCX, Flybe all prefer MPL/CTC/Oxford cadets not folk with existing aeronautical backgrounds.
If only there were a balanced approach - understand Jet2 take all varieties from Cadets to TREs that pass selection process.
