    Unfortunately this was inevitable once the Covid-19 issue took hold, people simply aren't booking flights at the moment.

    Hopefully though Aer Lingus will give first refusal for new contracts in future years to those who have been let down this year. It's especially unfortunate for those that have already quit their jobs to join EI, that must be a terrible situation to find yourself in through no fault of your own.

    Not being a smart ass as I know what it was like to be made redundant in 08, Did EI give people an actual start date?
    Which then the prospective employees handed in their notice, Was talking to my mate yesterday who was telling me that their was lads who got direct entries into EI &BA only for the companies to withdraw the offer of employment.

    Yes many people had a start date, I know of people who were due to start this week and it was cancelled a few days ago

    Hey! Yes they had given start dates. They had also sent out training contracts to people, which automatically gives you a sense of security which therefore people had given notice & left jobs.
    It’s a really sticky situation for everyone right now in all jobs, but I really do feel for the ones who had given notice & left jobs and now don’t have a leg to stand on.
    We can all understand why our training was cancelled but it still doesn’t take away the worry some are facing right now!
    Hopefully this will be over soon & fingers crossed they will give first refusal to us who have had our training cancelled but time will tell.
    Hope everyone is doing okay I know it’s such a rough, worrying time x

    Sucks for you guys, hopefully things straighten themselves up quick enough in the coming months, though I am not hopeful, and you can take your jobs up riding round Europe / The World.

    Hopefully they might recruit again before they end of this year and we may have some chance. Has anyone been told they’d be kept on file for the next recruitment?

    Unfortunately I think the next recruitment drive could be a long way off. The recovery in aviation will be long and slow and will likely be years before we get back to what was until recently - normal traffic levels.

    A job post has gone live today for Aer Lingus cabin crew. Do you think those who got called will have to go through the process again?

    Sounds like that would defeat the purpose of them contacting you directly but maybe email to enquire!?

    Would definitely follow the above advice, you’ve gone through the process already and are needed. Gentle email to HR should see the process expedited for you, great to see hiring taking place again!

    What is the starting salary? Will they still get the same amount of people applying after so many retrained and got better jobs with better money in other industries?

    It was open for less than 24 hours which i assume means they were inundated with applications, hardly a surprise given the amount of people who’ve lost jobs in aviation the past two years

    The job was advertised for less than a day, it originally said it would be open until the 10th of November but has been removed already. Was previously told before they’ll only look at the x amount first applicants and draw a line.

    Basic salary details can be found in the Irish independent articles from this summer.

    Not trying to derail the topic at hand but what you've mentioned with CC retraining and going to other industries.

    I wonder would it be the same for other sectors like ground handling ops refueling cargo etc, I know that the likes of Pubs/restaurants and certain parts of the transport industries have lost staff and are struggling to re-employ or get new hires to work for them.

    I would have thought the wider airline industry would have problems getting new staff but as others have said the cabin crew portal was open for 1 day and they closed it. Probably a lot ex STK crew looking for work and some FR wanting to make the jump.

    Apart from pilots, everyone else seems to be paid peanuts so no way management will want to increase wages regardless of a shortage of people. But as I have stated before, who wants to be accountable to anyone for €10.50 an hour?!!?

    Are EI not doing the recruitment themselves these days?
