LGW BA lite

[flyingtrain]

Do we think they will soon go down the route of hiring cadets for FO positions in a MOL style contract?

[HEJT2015]

I hope that’s not what you’re asking for..

BA to rehire 4000 in post Covid splurge.

If they're expecting to hire all on terms that are below or even at pre Covid rates, they're in for a nasty shock. The price of everything is up. People are no longer stupid. Everyone is demanding more. My friends working in Tech are seeing rises of 30-50% Builders are doubling everything and those who worked in hospitality are realising they can make 2-3x more working as pickers at Amazon.

BA's overzealous chopping was false economy. Complete and utter failure of executive greed facilitated by unwise and foolish bean counters.

Being almost 6000 miles away from LGW I've no real feeling for the situation there but in my part of the world despite similar price increases, I see zero evidence of any improvements with any T & Cs being offered in any element of the industry .

[biddedout]

Very good points NM but requiring the right to live and work in the UK does not feature in the advert although it burried in a PDF further into the process. Another example of ambiguity.

[randon]

Try to press the "APPLY" link... The first question after that is exactly if you have the right to live and work in the UK...

[olster]

Are they going to use the B737 max?

[SpamCanDriver]

Given the part of the job requirements were a current type rating and experience on the 320, I don't think so

[Northern Monkey]

IAG does have a big order for the max. So I guess the answer is possibly, eventually. Maybe.

[SpamCanDriver]

I stand corrected then 👍

[kendrick47247]

Isnt it just a letter of intent they have?
=/= an order

[Northern Monkey]

Honestly I’m not sure, but I think we are splitting hairs. The crappy 320s at Gatwick will need replacing sometime. The answers remains possibly, maybe.

[MonarchOrBust]

Wasn't the 737Max Letter of Intent just a case of Boeing calling their mates at IAG and asking for a favour whilst the chips were down?

[SW1]

anyone heard anything yet? or will the PFOs come out after the closing date?

[midnight cruiser]

MonarchOrBust

They may well feature from 2023-27 when the max LOI deliveries were penciled in. 320s to be disposed of from 2022 (pre covid plans- with presumably the former to replace the latter, but now; who knows).

[Jwscud]

Rumour is assessments wil be starting before Christmas.

[EGKK.]

Anyone heard anything back yet?

does anyone know anymore about the T&C’s such as having the ability to transfer to other types/bases after a minimum time spent at LGW?

very little info on this at this stage…

from what I've heard, you'll get a place on the BA MSL with a base freeze of 6 years. So after 6 years you can bid for a job at LHR.
When you change seat/fleet you slide across the payscales at your current level. (Compared to say CX, where you start again from pp1 on the capt scale after a command)
I'm no expert by any means but hope that helps.

We're 4 months from the Easter get away (covid permitting!). This airline has not even been officially announced as yet. They're going to need to move extremely fast to get everything in place by then.

[SW1]

got my PFO today
