VJW I doubt it mate, I have a Q400 rating. Type rated only wasn't it that someone said?

Initial excitement at seeing an email in my 'inbox' from Thomas Cook WITH AN ATTACHMENT(!!) today gave way yet again to the long anticipated disappointment whence the one click of the mouse to open said email revealed another splendid PFO. Must say I was mildly impressed with this PFO as it contained quite a few words more than is the customary norm with such correspondance so the feelings of despondancy were tempered with mild concolation.

On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd personally give this generic PFO a 7.

CC I can't remember now.

Only wish I'd filled out the Boeing rather then Airbus form- not sure it makes much of a difference, but that was my mistake.

Hi all,

I received the Airbus PFO today too.

1000TT, the majority on the twotter. I applied for both Airbus and Boeing on the same day so I suppose the Boeing PFO will come tomorrow
At least they reply though, so many of them don't ever acknowledge applications

So I guess they're still unsure on the boeing numbers? I filled the boeing application on the first day it was posted and have heard ziltch since. Any boeing guys been called or had any PFOs?

PFO as well. Oh well, here's hoping I become random interviewee number 3 for when they need to recruit a one-off starting yesterday!

PFO email here too. If I'm honest, I'd all but forgotten about the original application

No PFO...... YET!

Low Houred, Non-TR. Applied for the Boeing. No PFO yet..... maybe its just lost in cyberspace at the minute. I'm sure its on its way.

I'm low hours non-TR and got PFo'd for the Airbus yesterday, but nothing for the Boeing yet...I'd imagine they're working out what kind of package they will need to tempt me away from my highly lucrative temp job.

At least they send an email...a lot don't.

Any noises coming out of the company yet about number of guys needed on the bus, what type of contract to be offered or which bases?

Happy flighting.

Im 73 rated with 1100 and applied via the Boeing application. Not hear a thing so I assumed I was in the bin pile. Just waiting for the confirmation.

Good luck to all who were invited

Smoothflier, the Airbus sim checks do not take place until early Feb. Are you referring to the Boeing selection being complete I assume?

Do you know if it is summer only contracts for both Boeing and Airbus? Has that been confirmed by management now?

Cheers
