Thomas Cook Balearics
Is this a new Thomas Cook Airline based in Palma?
Any one know what the terms and conditions are like because they are asking for Direct Entry Captains and F/O 's on narrow body Airbus to be based in Majorca. Is this the end for Thomas Cook UK because of Brexit maybe? Answers on a postcard to the CAA "Sleeping on the job dept" whilst the entire UK airline business goes down the pan. |
Yes - its their managements cynical attempt to undermine existing crew with cheaper labour.
|
Charlies Angel asks a rhetorical question as he is very much aware of the facts.
Pingu is really pushing the boat out now. |
Looks like they are already securing people.Selection through OSM.Start next summer season.Pay around 80k gross...

Superpilot, I would certainly not consider myself, as from the arse end of the universe! However I do need a job, I do need to feed the kids, I do need to pay the mortgage etc.... where are these better jobs? The sandpit, China? What about the quality of live. What about the family.
I hope you’ve never been made redundant, and experienced the empty numbing sick feeling of worry. I haven’t applied, but I might, Please don’t a fence. |
T&C's
Capt 5100-8000 Euro / month FO 2900-3700 SO 2000 dependent on hrs. 60E per diem 8-12 days off depends on the programme leave accrual 2.5 days per month worked. Spanish statutory sick pay. Draw your own conclusions. |
Superpilot,
Commiserations!! LHS320 |
A forced base move is rather different from redundancy.
|
I'll do a couple of years here, get some experience and then move on to a better job.
Oh.... wait.... there are no longer any decent jobs. They've all gone because they were undercut by bottom feeders like TCX Balearics and Ryanair. Avoid. |

How cheap will pilots sell themselves, I can tell you as it happened with the glut of GA pilots in the early 1990's. They will work for free, some will even pay for the privilege. |
2k for a SFO with no benefits, really? |
Project to be discontinued, I hear?

Are you thinking of the link up with Niki Lauda that became Laudamotion.Believe that was canned because Ryanair came in and bought 75% of the company:=
|
The rumour here is that Balearics, having trouble crewing their planes in PMI, operating mostly out of Hanover and Paderborn, would considered to be integrated into the german TC Aviation (the Air Berlin spin off).
|
Latest news, no more crew basing in PMI, all crew (FD and cabin) to be based Hanover.
|
That'll make the job all the more attractive.
|
"Project to be discontinued" ? The sole driver of the project was to drive down pilot pay and conditions (nothing whatever to do with Brexit). To that end it's good for ALL pilots if the wicked plan is failing. But can anyone confirm or deny? |
I recently have seen a job offer for cabin crew based in MAD and PMI with thomas cook balearics... anybody can comment on that?
