Do you get rostered home standby's as part of your work week during the summer?

Mostly home standbys with a few airport duties thrown in.

After reading over 40 something odd pages on this thread, can someone please clarify this;
Can you voluntarily choose a part time (50% or 75%) contract on entry? And if you wish, can you opt to stay on a part time contract permanently?

It would appear to have crept under the radar a bit, but looks like applications on oracle have opened again in the last couple of days? Seemingly for NTR too!

Interview and Selection process
 

Hi Everyone

Any ideas on the assessments and selection process?

Thanks!

One of the many reasons I left after 19 years of full time at aged 54. No proper part time available any more. Just every w/e//bank holiday to work and then random part time days off. That said may change back in the future but too late for me!

Does anyone have anymore details as to what Monarch are actually offering? Is it definitely 85% contract etc? What's the average monthly take home pay for a year 1 FO? Are they looking for guys to put onto the new 737's? Or will it be onto the A320? Details on the website as usual are fairly limited.

Where did you go ? Retire or overseas? Just curious as im over 40 too ;)

Difficult to retire after that 'restructure' scrubbed our pensions! Gone to the sand long haul. Feels a little like retiring!

Recruitment is onto the Airbus, in order to be online by summer 16.

Boeings don't arrive until Apr 18.

Company have agreed a return to 100% by May 17 for everyone. What happens in the meantime is up for negotiations. Hoping for a halfway measure by next summer.

Assessment
 

Any details of the assessment for TR guys?

Any news as to whats happening at Monarch - see they are advertising for a new Head of Pilot Traing, so is another one leaving?

Previous has only been there 2 years or so.

........ and a very good guy he is too.

Going to Virgin, might be missing flying big stuff as he came to us from emirates (A330), nothing secret about it or people jumping from a sinking ship, people move on simples, you can rest easy now !!!

Ask any BALPA member, employed by Monarch "Is Monarch a career airline, or a stepping stone airline?"

Just to complicate matters, the Sunday Times today (Sun 27th) is reporting that Greybull have put MON up for sale.

A good time to leave, I think.

ST may have embellished but probably only in the speculation on who has been approached. In one case, if its true, definitely time to leave.

Surprise surprise - not.
Good luck guys & girls again !!
