I have an assessment coming up for DEC.
Where could I go to find out about the simulator profile? Anything special for the interview day itself, group exercises or quizzes to be done? What are the chances of a BRS basing? Thanks in advance.. |

Can't help with the sim or interview but BRS is short in both seats so probably a fair chance.

BRS base
BRS in the rhs has a small waiting list I think. A few apprentices who wanted BRS as first officers are having to go elsewhere and put their names on the transfer list.
in the LHS they are very short in BRS so don’t think you’d have any issue getting that base

Thanks a lot, that looks promising!

Any timescales on the BUS being based at EMA?

Are there many non TR DEC going to selection or have they enough existing 737/320 folk trying to get in ?
|
Plenty of TR awaiting start dates/ contracts for the Airbus according to a “friend”.
|
but I doubt it'll be within the next 5 years, if ever. |
Ooh, I do hope so!

34 of the B737-800’s are less than 8 years old and were some of the last of the NG aircraft off the production line. Can’t see Jet2 offloading these before they have had a return on the investment, certainly not in the next 5 years.

It took a few weeks after the assessment day to get offered a course for my first choice of base. FYI non type rated FOs are being offered 75% contracts if they don’t have any previous Boeing or Airbus experience.
Thanks |

Can anyone explain the 75% contract? Is this a 25% reduced salary to allow company to recoup type rating and training costs or is it something else?
Thanks |

There also said they want to be a 200 airframe operation within 10 years (2 years ago they said that anyway) which means 146 Aibus on order plus 50-plus older 737s. Makes sense to me. |
Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone (current J2 pilots / colleagues etc) might have any info on the next iteration of the Pilot Apprentice Scheme? Been looking on their webpage daily for months! Cheers! |

All the talk in the two training centres from senior management currently would indicate the Boeings days are numbered way quicker than people think.... |
Just to go off on a tangent, the big question for Boeing is what's next after the 737MAX? Airbus have the 321XLR and a constant improvement program. What do Boeing have?
I think a lot of senior airline management are asking that question right now. |
