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.

Yep that’s me, unemployed now. Family mortgage etc but look not a lot EI can do just have to roll the dice now.

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.

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

Has anyone been paid the one week’s notice yet?

No and emails no longer working all keep bouncing back! I guess we ain’t getting it

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?

Hi has anyone received any contact from EI to see if they’re still interested in CC in 2022?

I was due to start in 2020 and it didn’t go ahead due to covid. I was contacted over the last couple of days wondering if I were still interested and available to start in the new yesr

Hi, I was contacted too. They said they'd be in touch soon about training

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?

Hi has anyone gotten a start date yet?

really disappointed with the lack of communication from the recruitment company having tried to contact them multiple times

Hey,

I'm due to start my training on the 27th February. Anyone else starting that day?

Does anyone know how the rosters work?

I'm in two minds about starting to be honest. 2 years ago I would have jumped at the chance, but alot has changed since then.

I've been working in Contact Tracing for the last 18 months doing 10/ 12 hour shifts & I'm knackered! I'm also the other side of 40 now & beginning to wonder I'm a bit too old for a cabin crew lifestyle. I've been offered another job & it's Monday to Friday. My head is wrecked on what to do! One part of me wants to join AL cabin crew..it excites me & I know it's not the glamorous job that is sometimes painted when you hear about the cabin crew. But it's varied I suppose. Then the other part of me is (probably the older sensible part!) is maybe take the 9 to 5 job...weekends free..job security etc. And not that exciting!! I just don't want to regret not taking the Aer Lingus job because it probably won't happen again.

Contact Tracing is boring as hell but it's a handy number at the same time but I need to get out of it for my sanity.

Sorry for dumping all this here. I just need a bit of advice as I'm just all over the place about what to do. I got the email about uniform sizes yesterday & that got me excited 😆

I suppose for me it all boils down to the hours & roster. Someone was saying you could be working 6 days in a row. And newbies tend to get the raw end of the deal when coming to shift's which is fair enough. It is a total lifestyle change & I suppose I'm just realising that but I don't want to make a huge mistake by not taking it.. Confused.com🙄

Anyone else feeling the same?? I hope I'm not the only one😬😬👀

Hey.

Yeah I think I'll give it a go & see what happens!! Life is about having no regrets!!

Hey,

Just wondering does anyone here know what size heel do most crew go for? The mid or high heel? Afraid to get the high heel if it’s too high? Anyone have any recommendations please?

thanks in advance!

Hi, I totally know how u feel, its so scary but exciting too!!! I'm in exactly the same place as you. On the other side of 40 and doing this for the first time. Im looking at it like a whole new chapter about to start. It will be fantastic, your gonna learn new things and meet new people and if its not for you at least you've given it a go and You'll definitely have a friendly face to find you on your first day at the end of February as we have the same start date xx

Anyone know how many courses are planned & have they contacted everyone thats successful.

Hey,

Great. Looking forward to meeting you!!

Yeah I am, I only had an interview last week so still waiting to hear. I think they're hiring a few groups but I'm not 100%
