Yes Pilots could opt for a 3,4,5 year career break. Also voluntary redundancy was offered and the net reduction was 72 pilots. There apparently are still more wishing to leave the business and others are looking to jump ship. I understand the career break system works so a pilot will return at same base, same rank, and seniority ..... As long as that position exists. However, unless things change over the next 5 months, anyone joining us should be well aware it is only a summer contract as there are 7 aircraft who's leases expire at the end of the year, and there is currently no jets earmarked to replace them..... Possibly yet more fun at the mill!

I know a bloke down the pub who's got a mate who knows someone thats got an interview at TCX. Would there be any kind souls out there who have gone through the selection procedure in previous summers? Oh, and for those interested, I believe this chap has some time on the 757.
PM me please.

38-39k on the Storm McGinely site seems on the low side
However, its a job.

They'll get all they want. In a few years experienced people with a couple of thousand hours on type will doing internships. There will always be someone who will accept the salary that's offered even if it is 10% lower than the previous season, and a temporary contract with no benefits.

Exactly my north of Coventry mate!
It is proving very hard to get paid wear a set of gold bars. I blame Leonardo for the pickle we are in!!
If countless are willing to pay for their 'show off', why would joe public subsidise anyones large? You have to pay for your pose!
Terms are in free fall. My rates (CJ3 Biz Jet) have not seen any lift in 5 years!
Only when Mums and Dads can no longer fund the party will we have any chance of better terms. Easy credit and house equity boom to blame.
Every time I wander past Concorde House (LGW), I see more little herberts, that look like 'the milky bar kid', in 2 bars and orange lanyards.
Ruperts here; and he's having a ball!!
Whats not to like; he's never had it so good. Kudos, Bar Med on Tuesday and no ones flushing his grid down the loo anymore!

Anyone in TCX have any updates on whether these positions have been filled?
My application still says under review but i am thinking maybe i have been forgotten or they are keeping some applications in reserve in case people jump ship over the coming months to Ba / Virgin / EK? I don't have a 75/76 rating but 1800hrs on the B737...Seems late in the day now to get people on board for summer.
Cheers
