Hi all.
Bit of clarification please after reading most of previous posts.
PPY? presume part time contract.
7k? deduction even if type rated? how do they justify that?
assessment day? tech quiz info-can any body elaborate a bit more on DEANO777's info please.
no sim assessment for TR?
thanks for any and all help

PPY = permanent part year (although max 5 year and now everyone who joined before last month can now bid for full time on the 787 due to significant expansion on that fleet and lack of volunteers)
7k is for line training, unjustifiable to most but it is what it is.
Can't comment on the recruitment process.
hope that helps.

chinny, why does my post need elaborating on? Are you expecting someone to give you all the questions? There's nothing to elaborate on, it really is how I've described it and if you are in current airline flying and you can't pass the tech quiz then you shouldn't even have a license, let alone be near an aircraft full of passengers.

DooblerChina-thanks very much for that.
Deano- no i don't want the questions and answers and i agree with you.however, i also want to collate as much info as i can-failure to prepare is preparation to fail!!

The test is nothing to fear. If you are in current airline flying then you'll have no issues at all. It's multiple choice and dare I say it, even quite relevant, as is the whole process with Thomson

Yeah but you're taking it too literally. I'm talking about the whole process - generally speaking. If you want to pull apart everything to the nth degree then yes you'll find bits that questions the veracity of my statement.

If not successful this time I believe that the future looks relatively bright here after ten years of limited movement. The command review board are looking at guys who joined in 2005 now, so that just over ten years for a command. That with the maybe an increasing number of departures at the top end due pension cap of £1million and enough is enough may create opportunities.
Thoughts people?

Pension cap of a million and enough is enough sounds almost contradicting !
Give me a million and I'd be happy with any enough is enough . what's the difference between a pilot and a jet engine springs to mind....

The most junior pilot to successfully bid onto the 787 joined at the end of February this year.
There is persistent talk of the possible need to recruit externally onto the 787. Make of that what you will.

it's just the first Captains on the fleet are now rapidly approaching retirement, the first F/Os on it are all getting their commands on the 737, the fleet expands by 1 this year, 1 next year and another in 2018, and the lifestyle doesn't suit everyone, those with young famillies appreciate being home every night, and currently, the 787 is ONLY based at MAN and LGW so if you are not based at those 2 bases, you will not get on it. And believe me, we have tried, but the Co only want 787 pilots based at MAN and LGW.
I don't believe it's a negative lifestyle (my own personal opinion), it's not that people are leaving it in droves, just a requirement for more pilots!!!!
