They've cancelled all their LCY routes, so that's no longer a requirement. Going forward, it seems they intend to only fly on behalf of others. That includes DUB-LCY on behalf of EI, using their RJ85s.
Now,they are focus on wet lease / charter flight. They are not going to fly on their own brand on DUB-LCY, but they will still need aircraft able to fly to LCY when ARJ leave the fleet ( If this route is still alive).So if ARJ leave the fleet by 2020 which aircraft type can be the successor (Jet : Embraer 170/190, A220,A318, ). If we take a look on flight radar about A/C type is landing there...https://www.flightradar24.com/data/a...s/lcy/arrivals

The company will retain RJ due to the great success of SSJ.
According to my sources (pilots in CityJet), it has been communicated internally that they will hold on to RJ.
Of course, they had not communicated that they plan to retire SSJ. It would be to acknowledge its mistake, of course, such a magnificent company can not do it.
Instead, one plans to retire SSJ "in silence"
It's says all about Cityjets corporate culture, Think about it when you submit your application ..

Regarding the bases, Paris and Dublin are 2 expensive city to live.. Accommodation in Dublin is a big issue right now.. With this salary I ask myself if it's worth it... Paris can be better, but uncertainty with SN,AF contract means we really don't know what it will be the story thereafter...

Rumors on the line suggest the planned 4 aircraft are no2 to be only 2.
Operations has started around 2 month ago.
Please note that the start was scheduled for 1st May, but due to lack of resources (crew) ops were postponed.

I did the interview recently with one of the recruiters and a TRE not working for cityjet but doing the sim assessment and interview as a freelancer. Most of the interview consisted of capacity based questions in the form of "have you ever experienced this" "tell about about when that happened to you". Fairly standard questions but just a lot of them.
As for the technical part I got a few questions about alternates, fuel requirements, cold weather ops. We did not go into detail but merely touched upon the subjects lightly.
Then I was also asked what I knew about cityjet and whether I would be interested in a base other than the one I had applied for.
All questions came from a cityjet document and the answers were written down and forwarded to the appropriate department making the final decision. In my case the interviewers did not stray from these questions so there was not a lot of room to steer the interview in the direction you might want.
All in all a relaxed atmosphere and no funny tricks during the assessment.

To be basic: everything is the same....
High turnover of staff, crew etc. since people has a tendency to work for whoever offers the best Ts & Cs, meaning low seniority and experience.
SAS has decided that Cityjet is a strategic (long term) partner, in other words: Cityjet cancellations har no consequence, as long as it can be argued why (tech. problems, lack of staff etc). SAS will just rebook passengers to other flights.
There will be no adjustments in how management decide to run this company; hence they have decided to copy Ryanair, but in an other segment (ACMI).

Monday this week, the first of a series of lawsuits against the SAS supplier CityJet was initiated at the Labor Court in Copenhagen.
In 2017, CityJet, an Irish airline, bought the airline Cimber from SAS. Through this trade, CityJet became a supplier to SAS on the company's regional routes.
Since the acquisition, the employees and their union, the Airline Personnel Union, have experienced major challenges with the Irish management who has taken over the company. Despite the staff's attempts to solve the challenges locally, CityJet must, after one and a half years as a Danish employer, realize that the pile of accusations of breach of both the agreement and the right of management has begun to accumulate.
This week, the day of the main debate in the first case was up.
--------
At that time, the hearing had been going on for four hours, and Rune Asmussen could initiate his procedure. This was concluded with the claim that CityJet must acknowledge having abused the right of management and be ordered to pay a penalty.
Subsequently, Søren Møller Rasmussen performed his procedure with final claim for acquittal.
By this time, the hearing had been going on for almost seven hours. At just over nine o'clock in the evening, the referee panel withdrew. It is expected to fall within a few weeks.

Googletranslate:
A new pilot alliance has seen the light of day. It is the pilots of the airline CityJet who have teamed up with the desire for a strengthened unity across the bases where the pilots work from.The need for a transnational cohesion has arisen as CityJet has expanded its network of bases, from which flights are produced for customers all over Europe - including SAS.
"The goal is that pilots can communicate with a common voice to the management and streamline a number of conditions," says Peter Hjort, chairman of the CityJet pilots in Denmark, who have taken the initiative for the new transnational alliance.
"When the company communicates with a voice to all pilots, it is also important that we can respond with one voice and make common demands on the company. Ultimately, it's about avoiding being played against each other, ”he elaborates.
WANT ALL WITH
The Alliance is fostered through the European Cockpit Association, a pan-European pilot association.
The cooperation includes CityJet's pilot bases in Copenhagen, Stockholm, Helsinki, Brussels, Dublin, Paris and Tallinn and is conducted through the respective national unions.
In Scandinavia, since 2017, there has been a good relationship between the Danish pilots, organized in the Flight Industry Personnel Union, and the Finns and Swedes in the Finnish Pilot Association and the Swedish Pilot Association respectively. But the desire is to bring everyone along, explains Peter Hjort.
The pilots at the Belgian Cockpit Association, the Irish Air Line Pilot Association and SNPL (Syndicat National des Pilotes de Ligne) recently joined the community.
GETTING STARTED ON TERMS AND CONDITIONS
In a short time, CityJet has built up a large business around so-called ACMI flights. That is, the company produces flights on behalf of external customers, including SAS.
Precisely because the company has more customers, the pilots move around between the company's bases, in order to get the production to hang together. The cooperation between the pilots must, among other things, prevent the company from being speculated about exploiting the differences that are found in the national working rules and agreements of the individual bases.
The development in CityJet is not an isolated case. At European level, there has been a growth of 66 percent of so-called regional ACMI flights in five years. For companies such as SAS, greater flexibility is created when aircraft and staff are "hired" rather than "owned". But the development also has an inconvenient backside:
For the suppliers, it is a question of delivering a sharp price to win the contracts that SAS among other companies send in tenders. One way to keep costs down is by pressing employees' terms, showing experiences from the US, where the development is 20 years ahead.
It is this development that the pilots are now trying to counter. First of all, by talking together and creating a forum for cross-border dialogue.
AGREEMENT IS A NATIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES
Although the collaboration is about defending the pilots' working conditions, there is no question of a desire for transnational agreements, Peter Hjort emphasizes.
"Agreements are first and foremost a national matter. Furthermore, there is a difference between what the pilots in the individual countries emphasize. In Copenhagen, leisure plays a role, while other bases have a desire to get the salary up, ”he says and adds:
“For us, it's all about getting the overall level up. Initially, we need to find out what makes sense. ”
According to the pilot chairman, it would be relevant to get a uniform standby and positioning, because the company moves a lot around its staff between the different bases.
Collaborating as the CityJet pilots have started here is also known from EasyJet and Norwegian.
