Anyone Else
 

So far only 2 pfos? Any rated bods get a pfo yet?

Good on monarch helping some of the bmi baby guys!

I bet they spend a lot less than 5 minutes on each CV!

I know a few of the Baby guys who were fast tracked into interviews by Monarch. I must say Monarch must be congratulated for saving the careers of those individuals and seeking out experienced F/Os. Well done Monarch!:D

Just had an email saying my application is "hold for interview".

3000 TT mostly on 737. No command time, no rating.

Good luck everyone else, hopefully you hear some news soon.

Good news for me aswell I got an email saying "hold for interview".

Good luck to everyone else.

So the bottomline is that you need airline experience. Here we go again...standing here with my bizz jet experience. :mad:
Really getting fed up with that narrowvision of companies.

You say that as if you are owed a chance and a living.

I can empathise with you, many of us have struggled to get that first airline job and been in very frustrating situations and I can understand spiralling into a bad attitude that your comment would allay.

I think they are taking some Ex Mil guys? They won't have Airline experience so don't give up yet, you never know...:ok:

Good news for me too, 5.3K TT with Airbus and Boeing ratings.

Noticed on the email it said for 2013/14 season, so is this recruitment to start at the end of next summer?

Good Luck :ok:

@pork

Tx but i think it is here an age vs experience issue.

Anyway, i dont want to moan, we will see what the future brings.
Perhaps a gulfstream job, 3 weeks on and 3 off, 10000$ a month, 500 h flying a year and a nice hot FA on board. :E

Good luck those who are invited.

As a matter of interest what age v experience do you have, I have never known age to feature in our requirements

Hello mesh

I turned this year 36. I fly now almost 5 years, -+ 2000 on jet, -+ 2500 tt. My experience is in europe and outside europe. Im one of those guys who started late his training. I was 24. I can perfectly imagine that companies want more experience of an "older" guy.

Anyway, i dont want to drift off to much of topic.

Good luck to the others. :ok:

Hang in there, when I joined I was 36 with a lot less experience than you. Age doesn,t come in to our recruiting requirements. Type rating, type of experience, CV etc do though.

My application status has changed to "hold". Anyone got any info on what this actually means?

That means good news!

Good news here also - got the 'hold for interview' email on Sunday morning. Out of interest, what timescale do you guys think we're looking at for the 2013/14 requirement being worked out and getting the call to interview?

Looks like these emails are for courses starting in early 2013 at the earliest? Is that the gist?

Guessing they've filled the autumn courses this year. Anyone have a guesstimate of how many guys from the recent drive will be going through initial courses in 2012?

Still nothing this end - could be good or bad!

At least things seem to be moving - good news :O

I've also got the good news.
My application status says 'hold' and the communication I've received states that I have been successful at the first stage of the application process and that they will be in touch 'soon'.

I'm guessing that 'hold' is the same as 'hold to interview'

I only got an email saying that the status of my application had changed - nothing else. When I checked the application portal it just said "hold", so none the wiser really..
Well I'm sure it will all become clear in the end.

Same here
 

Hold for interview
Received earlier this week.

Processing order?
 

I submitted my application at the end of the first day of opening but have still not heard anything. Just logged in to check and it's still stuck at "Active Application"

Same here, Superpilot.

Got 2 emails today, first saying the status has changed on my application the second saying 'successful at first stage of application'. My application now says only "hold".

2500tt, varied jet, TP & multi piston.

Mine too, yet I know of people who applied after me who have had e-mails.

I've been offered a 757 spot. Just wondered if any Monarch pilots could give me an idea of the working life, rosters, allowances a 757 driver gets with the Airline.

Any info and PM's welcome!

Thanks

Great job! Enjoy the Boeing hotrod - there certainly aren't many remaining at Monarch. Is your current experience on a Boeing? I guess you would have likely been assigned an Airbus if you had that experience...

I thought Monarch were going all-Airbus soon? Probably in the next few years. Enjoy the standard yoke while you can!!!:}.

Yep current 757/767 with 3000 hours on type

Congrats. When is your start date? Spring '13?

Thank you spiderman! It's for jan 13

I have also been offered a start date of April '13 on the 320. I'm very happy and have found the whole process extremely professional. I am so happy that there are a few airlines still willing to give full time perm contracts.

I wish everyone luck and can assure you that the selection process was extremely fair and straight talking. Much as has been stated on here before the interview was about yourself, then some competency questions and also some tech questions.

Off to celebrate for the second night!

hi all
got two emails also....hold to interview

i'm 2300TT....1800 Biz jet

Fingers crossed:)

Frozen Pilot
You mean the sort of questions that should be asked at interview? :\

No Mr Angry, the questions were all asked at interview. But you won't get a more realistic idea of life on the line than asking a current 757 pilot will you?

Just received the two emails, application status now says hold.
4500TT
B737 classic & NG

Was a difference between 'hold' and 'hold for interview' ever determined?

What's the average length of time to hear the outcome of the interview?

At the interview, to day later, to couple of weeks......depends upon which course you are on and your own circumstances

As an aside out of those given the nod so far 1/3 rd are type rated the other 2/3 ds are either CTC, military or other which I think is a great endorsement of the Monarch way!

Thanks Mesh

Also still waiting, I dont want to call as I know others are in same boat re 'active application' but nothing else. Just gonna have to be patient as really would like to work for Monarch. 3600TT, 2000 B737 (EFIS, mainly NG), 1400 on another jet (non Boeing/Airbus), early 30s male
Well done to those who got the nod, and good luck to those in the waiting boat!;)

And please lets keep this to just Monarch recruiting please,

If you want to discuss other matters then why not create a new thread like:
1) I dont like Monarch
2) Monarch vs Easyjet
3) I dont like Easyjet

But for the guys on here we clearly want to work for Monarch, and just like to discuss the thread in question
Safe flying guys!:)
