I think your probably right, its time to get out. Things are only going to get worse here.

I'd hesitate to say it was :mad:, but it certainly isn't what it used to be, sadly.
Demotions, cancelled pay rise, vastly reduced travel concessions and low morale are all stifling the joie de vivre we all once enjoyed.:{

The pay rise being cancelled is news to me. This was previously agreed as part of the 3 year deal.

I would echo some of the comments above though. It is no longer a company that I would recommend.:{

Apologies...my mistake ref. pay rise.
Our leader wrote to us all saying no pay rises ' at any level'....however Solly was quoted in a newsletter that the 2008 RPI+2% deal would be honoured. Doh!

Except I think you will find there was a clause saying

It's become a RGF, which is a real shame.

1. The people you fly with ARE great.
2. The pilot scheduling agreement/terms & conditions WERE great.
3. The board were NOT great and should have been taken outside and shot for allowing the semi literate spanish barrow boy to drive the group into the ground.

3 is a top gear reference and clearly in jest. Perhaps.

I fear TCX is moribund. If not, it is certainly tainted. Most of the airline management are decent enough misguided people but the even more misguided group beancounters pull their strings. I agree with 763 jock, I could no longer recommend this airline.

Would you care to elaborate on what the scheduling agreement/terms & conditions were and are now?

As far as I know you get 10 days off pm in the summer, 13 in winter. 42 days leave upto 50 after 5 years....Max 800hrs per year.

Scheduling agreement is about to be attacked by the DFO again. I would suggest that there is no chance whatsoever of being kept on past October as further downsizing is a certainty next winter. Rumour has it that the West Jet contract is not being renewed next winter as the aircraft sent sat tech for 2 weeks and they were furious about it.

30 odd skippers demoted, holiday concessions rendered useless, morale lower than a snakes belly and F/Os told to relocate if they still want to work for the company.

Apart from that...;)

Was a no for me.

Was a long shot as I'm inexperienced but was worth a try.

Good luck to those who got the call/email.

Was a no for me too, again low hours but worth a try...

When did you guys get the call e-mail...? applied the day it was announced have 1k hours on the 737,hoping that because I have heard nothing it is a good sign

Just log in and check your application status.

4k TT Type-rated on a non-tcx type. Big fat no....

"Thanks but no thanks" for me as well guys, its fine though, im used to it :O
Next page please.

Just checked still says under review:ugh:any idea how many they are likely to recruit

@S.D

What are you type rated on.....

Looking to recruit a minimum of 10, number could go up still as the summer programme has not yet been released to the Airline, which is one of the reasons why we are so inefficient. It would seem highly likely non rated pilots will be recruited due to a lack of supply and that we are under going a large number of Boeing conversions, so recruits will plug the gaps in the type ratings

Europe - 737NG

Me too SD,now awaiting my big fat no as you have considerably more hours:ugh::ugh::ugh:

I spoke to HR direct via email and received this:

I’m afraid that we are only planning to recruit a small number of B757/767 type rated pilots on fixed term contracts for this summer. My personal view based on the current pilot market is that we will have to start offering type-ratings in the future but probably not until next year.

I was also B737 Rated.
