Thomas Cook
Could anyone spread any light on how long Thomas Cook have had a pilot base in LBA on the 'bus.
Is it just a summer base? Permanent maybe? Cheers SSS |
1 x A320 summer only, mostly crewed by Canadian pilots (Skyservice) I believe.
Shares an A320 this winter with Cardiff for half the week but crewed from other bases. |
Any insider information on FO recruitment for Thomas Cook this Winter? Mainly interested in B757 recruitment.
Thanks |
Thanks LG,
Do you know what the current recruitment website address is? I have: www.thomascookjobs.co.uk from PPJN but I can't get it to work. Not sure if the problem is my end or t'other. All the best, SSS |
Looking at 100 new recruits and 20 new commands after a busy Summer without enough crew.
I don't know which fleets they are looking to recruit for, although I would assume for both bus and boeing. |
Fleets
Does anyone know what future plans the company has for the fleet, Airbus/Boeing or both? I'm interested in long haul work, and would be curious as to which fleet would be best to join on.
Any info greatly appreciated. Thanks ADRH |
If you want LH then the 'bus at LGW or MAN. Boeing is doing less these days.

ANy idea on how to apply?
|
Yes, can someone please shed some light on the Thomascooksjobs website. I keep getting:
Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage Don't think it is at my end as I have tried a few different PC's all to no avail. Does someone know Neville Hunts email address? Cheers Steve |
Steve,
link is Thomas Cook Careers Website Click on airline, then current vacancies. Only cabin crew vacancies listed currently I'm afraid. Accessed using Firefox. ATB, DB |
Would Thomas Cook hire DEC, if not what would be the time to command? Also heard a rumour that they will be replacing the 757 fleet with 737-900. Not sure how true this rumour is as I heard it off a fat bloke down the pub.

1. No
2. Just that, a rumour |
Average time to command observed: 7 to 10 years.
The company has delayed the fleet renewal because of economic climate. |
Also heard a rumour that they will be replacing the 757 fleet with 737-900 stop,stop,stop.... good luck if you do apply. Time for a change from the jungle jet? |
stop,stop,stop.... good luck if you do apply. Time for a change from the jungle jet? There are just too many shades of green! SSS |
Hi there,
Could anybody who works for TCX at the moment comment on lifestyle/routes/rostering? Thanks :ok: |
Just checked. Limited type rated recruitment later this year or in Jan and the rest depends on next years fleet. Website is closed at the moment.
Hope this helps Cheers |
Cheers Mindstorm,
Does anyone have any info on the pension scheme? What about Staff Travel? ATB SSS |
10 days off a month, trip line gives you the opportunity to pick up some extra work for overtime.
Block window protection +-2hrs. Opprortunities for winter work such as the Hajj and Canada. I flew under 700hrs this past year on the 757. Rostering isn't perfect, I still get the odd early followed by night flight. A330 is busy. Not too much time down route these days, with a lot of positioning. Not too sure about current staff travel and pensions for new joiners. Generally a nice company to work for, although a few problems still need to be ironed out post merger. |
Thanks for that!
