And no education/degree section too?? Oh heck, better make sure that the CV is properly adjusted and ready to go. Looks like it's one shot at this, and the form seems to change on a minute by minute basis!

Could you just not give them your previous UK reference number? you can convert back and your old reference number would be your licence number again. Its only a paperwork exercise that doesn't take long?

Anyone having trouble getting past the registration page?
It doesn't seem to be going anywhere.
Disregard. Finally managed to get in. What an application system! I almost prefer the paper application they had previously!

I submitted my paper application yesterday and now find that they are attempting online recruitment, albeit in a very amateurish way.
It makes me wonder if the entire expansion is as rushed and ill conceived as this online system. After all, they are trying to recruit career pilots; what a terrible way to go about it.

Is it just me or is anyone else very suspicious of this online application form...?
It's so bad and looks like it could hijack your computer and do nasty things. And such badly worded questions. I really am "proceeding with caution" here.

HPBleed,
It's all down to being willing and lucky. Luck is a much bigger factor than you are crediting it with. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a charlatan of sorts.

HPBleed - in some ways I am very uncomfortable having this discussion in public. I truly hope you have made the right decision. I know you do not accept the luck argument, but as the years go by I have come to see that my games analogies are pretty accurate. We all make choices that seem good at the time - in the light of time they seem less so. My own aviation career is littered with good and bad choices - frankly none of them were made with absolute knowledge and some have worked out well and others have not. You can be the best guy in the world, but be in the wrong place at the wrong time and you are stuffed. I think you will find many older pilots (50+) who have been made redundant on a number of occasions (DanAir, Air Europe, Excel, AB Airlines, Debonair, etc, etc) and these people tend to be much more fans of the 'luck' argument. I hope the guys at Monarch never live to see it, but having been there myself I know only too well that no airline is guaranteed tomorrow. I therefore personally put a huge premium on being in a stable airline, and do not see Monarch as fitting that category. Nonetheless, I fully respect your decision and wish you well in it. You may yet prove me wrong, and in many ways I hope you do.
Regarding your arguments over flexicrew, I cannot defend the indefensible - it is an absolute disgrace and caused terrible damage to our reputation. I do, however, think that no one will get the boot as a result of being at the end of a contract. Anyway, I shall vacate now and leave this to the genuine seekers of employment at Monarch who really do not care for this discussion. Good luck to one and all.

Perhaps the Flexi-crews are ok. It's the perm contracts that have to be worried. As a higher expense overhead on the company's books, they will be the first to be chopped if EZY start to struggle. Experience counts for nothing in LCC land, only cost matters.
