I'd love to know what the current piloting community in EI think of that!?
The problem is management still think along civil service lines and ensure there are enough layers between them so that their heads aren't on the chopping block. I don't think there is actually anyone that has any responsibility for retention of flight deck crew. Quite amazing really.
I wouldn't get to excited about those contract jobs on offer. The experienced FO's that were hired back in for the summer recently were all ex AL (mainly captains but a few f/o's) who left on voluntary severance. As far as I know they were all contacted directly by the agencies and then word of mouth would have spread as you would expect. A 3rd party agency such as Storm or Parc is necessary to avoid a repeat of the €36m donation to the Revenue Commissioner.
They have spent the last 6 months turning really good candidates away for no good reason, and haven't filled all the seats.

Just home for a few days and saw the EI retro jet in the flesh. What a beauty?
Just wondering what happened the EI direct entry scheme from last year. Did people get hired or is it still going on etc.
I heared that sim checks were going on but I assume that's the cadet scheme. Are they doing hand eye coordination testing on cadets in the sim?

Unfortunately not an insider, but I did hear from one they are having something of a bumper year and that the Americans are starting to flow again.
So much so in fact, they are about to bring in a couple of 757's to fill some gaps. (wet lease?? I know very little...)

Figures on ppjn look reasonably accurate. If you want net after tax then google an online Irish tax calculator. Expect to be shocked - the country is in recession and the middle classes are paying for the austerity measures.

It would appear to be cut-e tests again.
I haven't had the nerve to open the link and have a look - and having been sifted out at an early stage as being "inept" by easyJet too, I'm almost a bit nervous about this one.
I'm guessing it's almost exactly the same tests though. Will have a look after a proper sleep!

Hi guys!
I've done it already...
Yes, you need to have working mouse and keyboard
Every test is preceded by an example and an introduction where it is written what you need to do, have etc.
Good luck!
