Check the specific Cityflyer thread in the routes section for more info. Trips could be any combination to be honest. A single day with two sectors or a 6 day on trip. Anything is possible. They do try not to roster single days off, unless you go above the minimum of 9 days off a month. If you are thinking of commuting, you are a brave man/woman. We've got folk who do it and it's a pain. Both financially and socially.

I cannot seem to find any information regarding bases for flight crews - their website says cabin crew based in Edinburgh, but no mention of flight crew.

Can anyone confirm that they do have flight crew based there also?

Yes, Cityflyer have Flight crews based at EDI

Shifty

London City is the only base they are recruiting for flight crew, no option of Edinburgh. Contract states report within 60 minutes to LCY airport...

Does anyone have an interview with them this week?

Give me a PM- in on Thur myself!

With the exception of VJW, it would seem, has anyone who applied during the Xmas period heard anything at all from them apart from the acknowledgement email?

The latest Rumours being thrown around the EDI crewroom:

Sounds as though more people will be required a few months from now.
Another 3 captains are rumoured to have job offers, including one EDI based trainer rumoured to be with another EMB operator. One more FO is checking out the Desert very soon with and a few more with job offers in the pipeline.

RJ.:ok:

8 guys in training now. Recruiting for March course and one more course expected in April. Looking for 20/22 guys on top of these 8. There's something going on for 2011...

Believe there is a lot of charter work for holiday companies all over the country during summer months.

The course dates quoted don't exactly allow for the standard three month notice period, which could be a problem for some people. A colleague was offered a job (mid January) on the March course.

Any news from anyone on Friday?

Had mine on Thur and still waiting for a reply.

I did tell them that I can't make the sim this week as I'm working, to which they said if I pass day 1, I'll have to wait until the next sim dates, so presuming I'll be last to be contacted.

VJW

I'm after a big favour - I have the sim profile but could anyone PM me the airfields that they flew the profile at and any details as to extra content....:)

Ditto here regarding the sim check please.

Kickingkatie and forcandle,
Did you attend the sim? If you have can u forward the
airports used, the profile and any useful information please?

Thanks,

YYZ

Anymore sim info from those who have attended?

BA Cityflyer assessment day / sim
 

Hi,

Invited to the assessment day, I have an idea what to expect for that.

But coming from the other side of the planet for that day, can anyone tell me if the sim check happens the next day or if you would be called again for the sim?
I obviously cannot travel back and forth from the Indian Ocean (at my own expense by the way) just for an hour sim ride ??

Any infos about the sim check as well would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks...:ok:

If you pass the assessment day then you will be called back at a later day for the sim i'm afraid.

And by the way its for the holding pool....12 months in it and no job you have to do it all over again...

I just think you would like to know that before you travel all that way! :ugh:

My bitter opinion; unless you're a FTE cadet with 200 hrs, don't bother going to the interview!

VJW. I can assure you that not everyone who got accepted last time around was an FTE 200hr guy. There were several who were experienced (2000-2500hrs) who are now on line.
