Monarch Anyone?

[Superpilot]

alpha.charlie, what's up with the quotes? Did I miss an email update or something?

[Who-are-we-kidding]

How often are people getting updates? I got the original e-mail saying I had 'passed stage 1 of recruitment' in early January but haven't heard anything since! Is this new info being e-mailed round or is it rumours from employees of Monarch? This job has not been off my mind since January!

[Direct DIKRO]

I'm a bit confused as to what the actual status signifies?

In August last year I received a message saying I'd passed stage one and ever since my application has been on hold?

I did get an email in December giving a quick update, but nothing since?

Hopefully they'll provide clarification soon?

[alpha.charlie]

sorry, it was a quote from an internal communication.

[Cougarpilot]

Anyone have an idea when interviews will commence again?

[Crosswind Limits]

I believe it may be this month or next. I certainly hope so!

[Superpilot]

Any meeting minutes to share with us yet mesh?

[Honiley]

"Superpilot" - Dear god - chill, relax and be patient! If the hardworking folk in Luton want to see you, they'll be in touch!

[mesh]

No news yet, I think end of the month interviews will start again

Hi Mesh, Do you know if MON will be taking on any 757 rated guys this time, even though they are on their way out in 2014.

Mesh

Is that interviews for pilots who applied last time or a fresh opening of the online system?

Thanks

The have taken 2 cadets on the 757 this winter! The fleet is expected to be retired after next summer. There are some senior f/o's on the fleet, so if there are commands this winter a few of the 757 guys may have to move onto the bus fleet for upgrade.

[mesh]

I would think on line will open again and then we will call some old and some new applications forward. On the other point the 300 is the fleet that will suffer if we get 30 odd new commands. Around half of those will come from the 300 and we wont train new guys onto the fleet so I wouldn't be surprised if the fleet didn't close this winter.

Easy opening up.....Jet 2 hunting for 73 drivers....now we just wait for our friends at Monarch to follow suit..... haha

[What Now]

Flyer19832007 don't tease me like that, I'm on a a hair trigger here.

Guess it didn't happen in March then! A lot of us still on the edge of our seats, any ideas when this might open?

[mesh]

we are currently awaiting a fleet announcement guys which is taking longer than usual. Should be in next couple of weeks. After this the next FTE and recruitment will start. I have heard though it could be September but we will see. As you can imagine the amount of training that is going on is horrendous and I believe the powers that be are trying to work out how and when we will be able to fit another batch in. i know you want to hear before Sept so fingers crossed, its very hard to put deffinitive dates on this suck and see exercise

[vrb03kt]

Thank you for the update mesh, I (and probably many many others) look forward to the opportunity!

[Pork chop express]

I was recently in the sim with a senior trainer and future recruitment came up! They mentioned a further possible 40-60 this year depending on if the A300's go and further fleet expansion. As Mesh says the time frames spoken about were starts in Sept / Oct on wards with the same split as last year 1/3 CTC, 1/3 TR and 1/3 Non-TR.
Best of luck to all those waiting.

Any ideas if they will recruit again for none swimmers?

Thanks.
