only Type Rated bods?
On a serious note I couldn't see why they wouldn't mop all those TR'd pilots still out there. BA and most others are playing that way.

Can anyone tell me when the application closes? I'm in Canada and am unable to access the UK recruitment website from here, it just auto directs me to the Canadian recruitment site! Any ideas of how to get around that problem gratefully received!
Many thanks!!

I can't imagine doing that - I just completed the Airbus one, even though I'm 73 rated. Presume if you're not typed on the aircraft they fly then it makes no difference which you use, as who's to know, should you be successful, which aircraft you'd be on anyway?

This may seem extremely lazy on my part but TCX has always been something of a difficult comapny to research, I never seem to be able to find out much about them. They're a company I've had my eye on for a number of years now and I just may fancy giving this a crack if it makes sense.
It mentions in the add the opprtunity for moving onto Long Haul at some time - realistically what are the prospects for moving to A330 in time and doing some LH flying? I wasn't aware of any major expansion going on within the group so am assuming this is something that could take a while - in the same vein what do we think the likely time to command would be?
Any info greatfully received and all the best to those giving it a go.
Cheers

With a few exceptions all Airbus pilots fly all types, if successful you will get LH. Of course this could change when the LH fleet replacement type is announced, but that will take some time to decide and implement. Time to command is difficult to say, seniority, experience and suitability are the criteria, that said there will be significant retirements over the next few years.

Thanks Beardy, speedy reply!
That all sounds pretty reasonable - as a current Boeing Pilot I would be keen to actually get the Airbus on my Licence if possible so thats what I would be applying for if indeed you have to fill out an application for each individual fleet.
Just one other thing if anyone is able to offer some clarity. Looking at PPJN it states the salaries for F/O's and SFO's with the SFO salary being based on whether you have achieved the ATPL or not. As an ATPL holder and a new joiner would you go straight onto the SFO's salary?
Again, most appreciative for any info.

If you want LH, then you really need a MAN or LGW base as most regional based pilots do not fly the A330 or B767. The B757 is not flying the Canadian Affair contract in summer 11 and B767 LH is quite limited.
There are two 757's on the cards for next season to replace buses going off lease. Some MAN 'bus pilots are moving onto the Boeing, so not sure if many will be recruited for the Airbus.
Either way, the 757's are gradually being retired and TCX will eventually be an all Airbus narrow body operator. Company has recently announced a deal for 12 new A321.
