Co-Pilot: UK Bases _ Non Type Rated

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone out there has investigated this option. It appears to be a full time permanent contract based in UK.

In might be a good (i.e. relatively good ) option for those who have reached limit in the ME and are looked to get back to UK.

Any thoughts on how long upgrade might take at Easyjet.

Upgrade, anything from weeks depending on what happens with the strike!

I thought the uk bases were very popular?

I wonder why they are recruiting for them all of a sudden.

Something to do with a strike threat over rosters and fatigue perhaps.....

"Earlier this week members of trade union British Airline Pilots Association voted overwhelmingly in favour of industrial action due to concerns over pilot fatigue"

Wow... Union....Strike....recognition of Fatigue. I had almost forgotten how things work in country with civil/human rights

I still think it's an interesting option - especially for Boeing pilots who are looking for something other than the usual suspects: RYR, Norwegian, Jet2 & Turkish (to a lesser degree).

It's nothing to do with the strike. They're short of crew. Simple as.
