Dear Sean,
contractors are hired for the phase out of the Avro. Most of them will be gone by the time the Avro is out. I prefer this over firing all Avro pilots
Some of them will fly contracts in summer, for the seasonality. Like this people with a contract of Bru Air can keep their working regime throughout the year, in stead of seasonality being applied to them too.
Amongst the contractors are also Belgian pilots. Anyway, I don't hear a lot of Flemmish or French people on the FR radio in BRU. That is a fact.

Re: Background info on hiring techniques at the low cost airlines
You don't listen to any radio, otherwise you wouldn't give such a foolish reply. Indeed, you hear no difference between a Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Flemmish... speaking English. Sorry how stupid of me!

Re: Background info on hiring techniques at the low cost airlines
ROTFL!
If you think these are LOW COST practices, Sean, read the terms and conditions offered.
I am sure all those Ryanair crew flocking together in Zaventem all get their accomodation provided by Ryanair too, right? Just as their car park at the airport and their uniforms that must be then!
Which is why the neighbours of the staff parking of Brussels Airport have filed several complaints with the town about their quiet streets being full of Slovak cars parking in front of their houses all the day, every day, suddenly.
As already pointed out by Pocachontas and just like last year, Brussels Airlines is again adding several A32Fs BEFORE summer, while the RJs they are ment to replace, only leave AFTER summer.
That means that it temporarily needs interim crew to cover the fleet rollover: at Brussels Airlines we don't throw out pilots because we change planes, we train them onto the new planes and hire interim pilots while they do so.
So you can be reassured: there will be more than enough Belgians paying full social security and income taxes in Belgium to keep paying for all public provisions you are making use off for free in future too.
This latest contract job offer is online because SN are adding another A32F which wasn't previously forseen in the planning as our expansion is accelerating even. Not everybody is stalling at BRU you know, something you'll soon see in the growth figures for both SN as well as the airport.

SN adding one more A32F ? Wonders will never cease ! What an expansion !tolipanebas wrote: SN are adding another A32F which wasn't previously forseen in the planning as our expansion is accelerating even. Not everybody is stalling at BRU
Especially if you consider that a "stalling" competitor at Brussels get two new (not second hand) aircraft per month and still have more than 250 on order ....
IF IT AIN'T BOEING, I'M NOT GOING.
Re: Background info on hiring techniques at the low cost airlines
250 planes for BRU??? Wow unrmployement in Belgium is solved thanks to Ryanair now that they gonna hire all these Belgians...airazurxtror wrote:SN adding one more A32F ? Wonders will never cease !

Re: Background info on hiring techniques at the low cost airlines
The reason why dear panebas, doesnt matter at all
A contractor is a contractor .. With that difference that FR offers them full time employment
I see you are very happy with SN expanding on low yield leisure destinations, while your yields on the routes in competition with FR and Vueling have dropped by 25%.
If you call "stalling" adding 3 new destinations in a years time, good then, we're stalling. You better pray that FR or any other competitor doesnt start cherry picking your most profitable routes

So leisure destinations = low yield destinations = low profit?!sean1982 wrote: I see you are very happy with SN expanding on low yield leisure destinations,

You might perhaps notice that there is an European Union, of which we are all part.OO-ITR wrote: Wow unrmployement in Belgium is solved thanks to Ryanair now that they gonna hire all these Belgians...
Ryanair is as much European as any Belgian airline (which, by the way, are either German or British owned).
Stop being so narrowly chauvinistic, per favore.

Re: Background info on hiring techniques at the low cost airlines
Which you seemingly consider much higher than it is in case of SN. SN is no second FR (and doesn't need to be), but don't think those new leisure destinations are low-profit, quite the contrary.sean1982 wrote: Depends on the cost base.
Re: Background info on hiring techniques at the low cost airlines
Don't claim that it is a Belgian airline then because it clearly isn't. Would love to see what the proportion of Belgians in the company is. But this is info we will never have.airazurxtror wrote:You might perhaps notice that there is an European Union, of which we are all part.OO-ITR wrote: Wow unrmployement in Belgium is solved thanks to Ryanair now that they gonna hire all these Belgians...

And yes I am aware there is an EU. One that is going to stop the dubious hiring techniques of your favourite irish airline in a few years.
Prego!

Or the same technique that allows your company to hire F/O's on a trial basis first?
Or the same technique that allows your company to hire seasonal cabin crew?
I would think twice about whishing for that
grazie

Re: Background info on hiring techniques at the low cost airlines
Yawn... I think everybody had it's say in this zillionth FR SN discussion.
So unless you have new "interesting" information, please let it go!
Thank-you,
Stij

Is that the Thomas Cook A320 that has been announced or yet another one?tolipanebas wrote:

I think there is a slight difference between a trial base and working mostly with free lance pilots/offering Irish contracts for people working in hubs outside Ireland/being hired not directly by Ryanair but by a third party.
And the EU acknowlegdes this dubious employment system. That is why the EU is going to halt this system.
Wonder how big the profit of your airline will be from 2020 on....
PS I do remind you that most of these trial basis or turned into a permanent contract and that all those contracts are Belgian contracts for staff based in BRU and also where the taxes are paid...
Re: Background info on hiring techniques at the low cost airlines
You must know Ryanair better than me, cause I far as I know the biggest percentage of staff is actually directly employed by the company.OO-ITR wrote:oh dear do we have to repeat the same thing over and over again?sean1982 wrote:

PS Any excuse is a good excuse I suppose ... the fact remains that your company does exactly the same thing, the reason doesnt matter.
