what's the T &Cs
is it the job it used to be
thanks for any replys

Have you no friends back home?
The whole of the country seems as if the oxygen has been taken out of the air.
Yes the T&C's have changed....where haven't they?
LS vs junior RS with ALT......now that one should be a no brainer. I know all this sounds discouraging but if DUB is the place you want to be then fill your boots ( and pray you can pass the evaluation!)
As you might or might not know, the top 10% or so (pilots) have been given a 'package', granted not as good as the one Willie Walsh set up for Barney and the lads on the 5th floor way back when, but never the less, not too bad, ESP if you're not even 50 yrs old.
At the end of the day it all depends where you or your wife or your children want to grow up and call home.
It's a balancing scale.....ALWAYS has been......Good Luck.
Ps now if you were to ask the lads that went to ANC way back in 1995 were they would rather be now, I know what most of them would say!

The t&cs depend on where you are based. Are you prepared to be based in Belfast or Gatwick for up to 5 years bears before getting a chance at Dublin/Cork? Thats a good question for the interview!

I hope they have got LOTS of printer paper in stock... to coin a phrase it will be... "INCOMING"!!!
Looking at the other threads most operators seem to be averaging 1000-1500 applications at initial stage.... Good luck to us all

I'm not even sure if I should apply for this.
I'm a yr away from a command with another irish airline, and while I live in near LGW (and am currently based abroad) - i don't know if I can see an upgrade anywhere in the near future at all with these guys.
My aim eventually is to move to the US with the american wife i have as excess baggage, and can't see this move helping.
Perhaps, I'll apply just for the experience?

This is good news for aviation - this is a fabulous opportunity for the numerous high quality turboprop/ex-mil pilots looking for a proper entrance into jet aviation. Best of luck to one and all.
