Good on them. What aircraft type will they likely start on - A320 or 757?

Are those 8 you mention in addition to the 20 that have been taken on in the last 2 months?

SW1
To Clarify, They have only taken on 10-12 so far (all on the bus).
They are looking at another 10-12 (possibly TR'ed CTC guys) to fill the gaps of coming resignations.

= total recruitment for this year of 22ish. As it stands at the moment all will be for the bus.

Thanks for that,

Does it look like a few people may be leaving? How about Type rated non- CTC bods?

Cheers

Have you had a interview sw1

Hi,

Yes I had an interview in mid december but was unsucessful. They said they would keep my records on file for any future recruitment opportunities, so just hoping they may be looking at recruiting more people.

22 TR guys are now being recruited and CTC to cover the resignations should anyone decide to jump ship to BA/Virgin

Is it felt that there will be many resignations?
I hear that BA/Virgin are struggling to get TR guys.

BA had 1400 applications in one week, how are they struggling?

Thread creep alert......
....I have heard Virgin have rejected A330 qualified guys too.

Now back to MON...

I bow to your greater Knowledge you obviously are more well connected than I and have your ear very close to the ground

I probably have no greater knowledge - just lucky with people I know!
There is no need to bow :ok:

Hi there,

Maybe it's too late but, did you applied through the internet site or emailed CV to someone?
I did with email but still no answer since December.. Maybe wrong person?

Do you know how to send them CV was?

From PPJN page, date 07/12/11

Their website says quite the opposite, though. Are they emptying the holding pool 1st or fishing those TCX-folks that fear for their jobs?

Is it correct to assume that the ONLY way to apply is through the website or is there a top-brass' email somewhere?

Really? I didn't know that!

I knew that cadets were sourced through one company, however that isn't a "monopoly" position, as there are a number of schools that compete in this marketplace. One may be contracted at any given time, but just as with fuel suppliers, handling agents, caterers, etc. value is always under review.

Outside of the cadet requirement, "experienced" F/O's are recruited from the traditional sources and generally in accordance with the minimum levels of experience required, which are significantly in excess of what might be termed "low experience."

At the present time, recent commercial events have resulted in a number of qualified, current, type rated and experienced pilots being available in the marketplace. I am sure that a proportion of pilots from these sources are being considered for the current round of projected vacancies.

Is it legal to be hiring, but not openly advertise it and make it free for all to apply?

Yes it is! Unless the recruitment is in violation of any statutory requirement, such as the equality act of 2010 for example.

Cadets or Experienced?
 

"At the present time, recent commercial events have resulted in a number of qualified, current, type rated and experienced pilots being available in the marketplace. I am sure that a proportion of pilots from these sources are being considered for the current round of projected vacancies."

Sadly experienced operators are being overlooked in favour of MPL route - see recent adverts in Flight.

EZY, TCX, Flybe all prefer MPL/CTC/Oxford cadets not folk with existing aeronautical backgrounds.

If only there were a balanced approach - understand Jet2 take all varieties from Cadets to TREs that pass selection process.

As do Monarch. A combination of experienced type rated pilots and CTC cadets.
