The Monarch switchboard number is 0871 2250250. This number will appear on your phone whenever anybody within the Luton office calls you. Good luck to you all.

I know for a fact that a few of the places on Septembers course went to guys who had applied direct with their CV's before the online application opened. The online application process is part of a new system being operated for the first time this year, however I would be very surprised if the paper applications weren't been considered.

My advice, be patient.

Just got a phone call from an 'unknown number' having read this thread last night... crew control. Didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Trouble logging in
 

Is there anyone else having trouble logging in to check the status of their application?

Yeah, me too.

With half the country's pilots logging in to check, I'm not surprised!

Can't even log in. Am experiencing an unexpected error...

I haven't been able to get in either.

Maybe they're filtering through all the applications?

You may have logged in, but are getting the error for whatever reason. I had the same. If you click on manage my profile, it takes you to a page to fill in your details and you can upload a resume from there. It's just the home page doesn't seem to work.

any email address available for HR?would like to follow up a previous postal application.:ok:

Received an email earlier this afternoon basically saying we're flooded with applicants so it's taking a while, please be patient.

Yep
 

Same here.

Yep me too.

Anyone knows how many pilots are they looking for with this recruitment turn?

I know it's a very good company to work for but would it be possible to have a general idea of how long does it take to jump in the left seat....I am not in a rush....I am just curious:)

Same here, anyone kind to share what is the roster like and if it is eventually possible to commute?
Many thanks

The guys who have just done their command courses joined the company about 7/8 years ago, this should hopefully go down a little bit with expansion.

Notice from Ops director recently stated 90 new FO's within a year.

Roster is all random regardless of seniority but with a good scheduling agreement including VIP days (chose your days off, certain number of these a year - can't remember how many though) and ring-fencing of duties (4 a month).

alpha.charlie,
thanks for the good infos

Hi G-LEX try to ring someone with authority on the matter at monarch HQ and ask the question, nothing lost !!

Being in the forces you must have heard of the 7 P's...

The recruitment will open again when they have cleared the backlog of existing applications.

Call the HQ, the HR ladies whilst no doubt snowed under, are very nice and will no doubt tell you more than I could!

How can they ask for 20 tonnes plus experience and then recruit direct from CTC, I think there is a case for discrimination me thinks
