Anyone heard of any hiring coming up soon? What is the projected outlook there? Thanks.

Hiring?

We've only been told that there will be some hiring this year, not sure when. Keep those resumes coming in!

Let me add the hiring applies to pilots only. The FE's are in a reduction mode, with a bunch of Polar FE's, with unknown futures.

How long would it take to get the LAX base? How are the LAX schedules and QOL? Thanks.

 

[treetopflyer]

currently the most junior base is stn and if you get hired, right now it looks like a bout 7-8 years to get out of stn.

no gateway, no travel bank, no hotel, no help.

sound good? yeah ******************** them!!!

 

[Fliteidol]

7-8 years may be optomistic!

 

[I Hate Freight]

Fuk dat!

LAX schedules and QOL? Thanks.

Plan on being out 38 to 40 days in a row on a regular basis.

Disregard this one. Only if you bid it that way, does it happen at all. Outbases and bidding end of month into first of month are the only ways you end up out that long. Some guys based in STN chose to do it that way, but it isn't forced on them.

your right, 34 days is not the norm, but you can reasonably expect to be out for 20-21 days due to commuting issues. oh and also you have to do training in london for recurrent on your own dime, and you'll get bumped off company aircraft for people who have gateway (you wont) but dont want to pay taxes on the ticket. and youll get to listen to how great peoples "past lives were" and so on and so on.

welcome to the family.

And people work at this place becaues...... ?

 

[brnstrmr]

so if the company has no travel bank and you're on your own for housing, how does any first or second year pilot manage STN? London is one of the most expensive cities in the world, especially the housing.

Actually, most the guys commute from the states. The guys that choose to live in Europe come out pretty well. A few live in Nice, low local taxes, first $75 K tax exempt from the USA and can do standby at home. Unless the trip starts in STN, which VERY few do, they get tickets from where they live in Europe to work. If it's just you and the spouse, it could turn out to be a great adventure.

For the commuters, it's a real pain. Many quit soon after they try it for awhile. East coast isn't too bad, as long as the Majors keep the JS open.
