Afraid not. Although, I did spend some time up there when it was purple. Left about 4 months before the end. The weather wasn't for me. Sunny Kent is where it's all at now.

Anything else?

No, wish you luck and smooth sail after this inclement weather passes. Nobody belittles your choice, probably a tough one if any at all.

Meanwhile, we watch the market and eventually our livelihood being sucked away by companies with 'a hell lot of cash' whose business model is to treat their staff cashflow-smarter than the industry standard.

What do you mean flying "part-time" ? Could you develop?

There's a hell of a lot of cash behind it.
So what’s the excuse for the cheap ‘clown’ uniforms then? Seems they don’t want to attract, nurture, nor promote professional piloting in this airline - they almost want to ‘belittle’ their flightcrew by making them appear as unprofessional as possible in this bonkers outfit. Not to mention, a total turn-off if you were a youngster considering a career in aviation as a pilot...

Flew with Play last Thursday, first time, was cheap and good. Pushback 10 mins before scheduled departure, airborne 3 mins before same and arrival at gate 25 mins before schedule. Good legroom and friendly and seemingly professional cabin crew. Have no financial or other interests in the outfit in case this sounds like an ad... Might all go horribly wrong next time.

Hello everyone,
Could I ask here if someone apply as a First Officer or should I open a new Thread?
I simply wanted to know if it is possible to have some information on what kind of assessment runs Play to hire pilots.

Thanks so much!

This weekend I got a message telling they had started processing applications. Any news from anyone? Any forum thread talking about their selection process?

Why are they wearing hats? In Lauda Air in 90's gave them up.

Not sure anything aviation related with Lauda on it is worth following...

Hi to everyone.
I've applied to Play few days ago.
Any informations about assesments or how much time they take to get in touch with you?
Thank you
