First Choice Interviews
 

Hi, I have an interview coming up shortly with FCA and was wondering whether anyone might have already attended one of the interviews and can give some feed back / advice! Thanks

Hi there!

There is already a similar thread with some of us searching for similar information! I too have an interview coming up, and am wondering what the 'deal' is. You will probably get about as many replies as I did on the other thread!

What experience do you have if you dont mind me asking?

Will First Choice newhires likely start on the 757/767 or the A320? Do you need a type for either to qualify? Which bases could newhires expect as most likely offered to start? What about LGW?

Cheers

Hi guys

From recent experience I know newbie pilots tend to start on the B757/A320/A321 fleets, subject to operational requirements. To my understanding, no-one gets to fly the B767 until they have made rank of senior first officer (obviously subject to hours).

As a rough guide, this is where we base the various aircraft

LGW - B757/A320
BHX - B757
MAN - B757/A320
EMA/BRS/STN - A321
LTN - A320
GLA - B757

I think new aircrew are usually distributed according to current demand.

Please note I'm not a pilot with FCA so have no idea of the recruitment process - sorry! But I thought I'd try to shed light on Rikers query a bit.
Good luck with the forthcoming interviews!:ok:

Does anyone know if First Choice are recruiting direct entry skippers and if so what the minimum requirements are?

what kind of roster is it at FCA ? How many duty hours a day ?

Hi,
FCA don't take DE captains,time to command was about seven years when I worked for them (2004)

767 is based on seniority,my mate went on it after 3 years and also where your based cos some bases don't have em,

Roster,757,regional airport was 3 out and backs,2 night out and backs,2 days off -repeat April until end of October more or less expect about 450 hours in this period,
