Thomas Cook Belgium Recruiting

I have seen an advert on one of my Facebook pages for applications to join a 2-year Recruitment Reserve (hold pool?) for the position of Ab Initio F/Os for A320.I can't read everything on the page (it's blurred) but it is aimed at rated and non-rated pilots (rated need 500 hours on type). The advert is dated 29 August and applications have to be in by 16 September.

I cannot read the email address. What I can see is one requirement which will stop most Brits from applying and that is that conversational level Dutch and French is required.

Who knows, it might suit somebody.

I could perhaps bluff my way past the Dutch and French bit but I think my age might be a bit of a problem!

They mention on their profile page that it is only for A320 rated candidates with 500 hours on type...

Sadly not for non-rated pilots.

Got today the pfo letter. Dont get it. I can even speak dutch and french, have more than the required flight experience. What is wrong with me? Used the wrong aftershave?

Now im really considering to quit aviation.

4(?) positions and over 400 CVs received - you have to like the odds to get in! What is wrong with aviation?

Is there more news about the selection? I heard that they are still asking people to the simulator for assessment? Can you still apply?

Do you know if the 50% contracts go into full contract after 2 years?

@root : I would assume that there is a limitation of temp work specially in a country like Belgium. Someone working on a temporary contract should be hired fixed after 2 years or so? Or do they get kicked out?
