Job with Thomsonfly from 3rd July...
 

Hi there!

I have been fortunate enough to make it through the selection with Thomsonfly, and have been offered a position on the B757 with base in Manchester. I will commence training 3rd July.

Is there anybody else in here, who is starting on the same course?

Kind regards
BAP

Nope - not me, I just want to add my congratulations :ok:

Congratulations
 

Hi Bap

Congratulations and all the best for the course. :ok:

Congratulations and enjoy the moment and enjoy the flying!!!!!!:D

Well done mate! :D

BAP

Check your PM's

what is the experience level of recent hires?
cheers.

Ive just been offered 757 out of manchester aswell but I start on 4th sept as have to work my 3 months notice with current employer :ugh: :{. Im joining as an FO (senior FO in thomson) I know the basic is £40080 and ive seen the flight pay on ppjn, but I was wondering if anyone could tell me the average take home after tax with the sector pay, allowances and flexi working etc.
Thanks

Well done BAP.

Do you mind my asking how long the whole process took? ie when did you receive that first invitation to the initial assessment?

Here's to following in your footsteps. ;)

Congrats,

You should clear an average of £3300 a month including flexi etc.

lowest around £2600 highest around £5000 without flexi i guess around £3000.

BB:ok:

Congrats to those hired onto the 757 at Manchester. Can someone answer a few questions:

1. For the 757 at MAN, how many days per week during the summer would you being flying (I am familiar with how busy the summer charter season is)? How many sectors per day on average? How soon (in years) before you would qualify or have the seniority to fly long haul on the 767 as an FO?

2. For hiring in general, what percentage of newhires are going to the 757/767 vs. the LCC 737 operation?

Cheers

Riker, you have mis-understood the 'mixed model' concept in Thomsonfly. The 737 fleet does not operate solely low cost (actually the company refers to it as 'low fares') scheduled services. It operates a mix of charter routes and scheduled routes.

Hi guys
Where can I apply (just checked their site, could not find no link) and who are they looking for right now?

Cheers

Check out PPJN, all the links given there were working ok last time i looked.;)

If succesfull, are you notified via phone, email or post (think i was told phone , not sure though)?? and also how long from interview does this normally happen?

Thanks

First Stage took 2 weeks to hear that I passed and I was notified by email, second stage I was called the next day after attending to say that I had passed and to give me the course dates etc. I took me a while for the whole process, I went for the 1st Stage on 3rd April then the 2nd stage on 23rd May, I believe other people didnt have to wait as long for the second stage!
Hope this helps:ok:

thanks, just out of interest did you sim on the 73 or 75??

What's an FO (senior FO in thomson)?

I've never heard of this term before. Don't you mean (completely at the bottom of the seniority list and junior to the lowest S/O that joined before you and she/he'll get promoted first when the time comes) F/O?

Windshear ahead

I did the sim on 737-300 at alteon london gatwick, I think all people are doing it on the the 737 now as their a bit short on 757 sim slots ive been told, but I could well be wrong! :ugh:
