Apologies. Yes I’m waiting to book a sim, not an interview.

Hi all,

i have passed stage 1 and will be hopefully booking stage 2 very soon. Has anyone passed/gone through stage 2 and could offer some insight, particularly on the personal interview?
much appreciated.

Its an automated system mate, there haven’t been any sim slots released for at least 5 weeks. Only 1 slot opened up for the 21st of August because a guy I know cancelled his. And it was gone in a minute. Just keep checking!

Ive heard there’s currently about 40 people in the pool and they will only be in there while they get dates and classes formed.

According to recent internal comms, the hold pool has been emptied, refilled, emptied again and is gradually being added to. In short, the demand is definitely there so I would expect a short dip in the pond if that. I think it's purely a training capacity issue.

Best of luck!

Any junior FO's SH care to share current take home pay? I know its variable based on X, Y and Z. But a rough figure would be great based on the summer months.

About £4500 to £4700 in busy summer months, £3900 to £4100 in quieter months. (Little over time included in these figures, LHR FO year 2).

Basic pay at PP1 is identical, but you'll earn more in TAFB payments (Time away from base). How much more you'll take home as a result is dependent on your spending habits down route to a degree!

Also open to non rated, but the fleet doesn't usually take many DEPs. Maybe 20 in the past 5 years or so.

Take Home:
July £4880
August £4960

PP3 mind. No overtime. Wild horses couldn’t drag me in on days off.
