aye, sorry !

I’m glad these days there isn’t the continual pressure there used to be on colleagues 15 years ago to “ go out “ all the time.

Glad you took the comment with the humour that it was meant to portray. I posted that after a night out with colleagues on a trip but forgot to put a smiley face at the end! 😉

Any idea when they plan to start recruitment next year?

Thanks!

Perhaps there will be a slow down in recruitment? Is there a problem with the VS A350? A 340 pilots have been told they will remain on type for longer than envisaged and the retirement of the type further delayed. Delayed A350 delivery? Although BA now seem to be getting their A350 in service a month sooner.

Cessna Pete, Im afraid to report 340 pilots haven’t been told that.

all the best. C

Having dinner with one who’s Manager told him just that!

thats rubbish

At a guess your talking about

wouldn’t say it’s much of a delay, there is already a fix

No, I’d been told it was a VS cabin configuration problem, possibly requiring rear ballast to be carried on early deliveries.

Long shot, but anyone recruited by VS as a 737 pilot and retrained on the 787?

2100 hours on type.

Thanks.

Good question - thanks. Interested person here is 23 years old, flying 737s for nearly 4 years in LoCo and as said before, 2100 hours to date although it sounds as though current hours are going to be an issue. Now keen to expand experience on Boeing to long haul and 787.

Think he’s alluding to the fact that the minimum requirements on the advertisement is 2500. There are people that get in with the minimum requirement and plenty that have a lot more. They/we get enough applicants that you’d have to be very lucky to get in with less than the advertised minimums

I thought that might be the case. Thanks.

Fingers crossed for the future that VS might start looking again at 737 experience.

From quite a reliable source, in mid 2020, 50-75% of recruitment will need Q400 hours!!!!!
