Easyjet on TV
Viewers are being shown the various stages of Easyjet crew training on a weekly program featuring scenes both in the air and on the ground.
The last episode showed a 20 year old, very bright young second officer doing a stint in the cockpit while returning from Toulouse in a 737 accompanied by a dozen other trainees and supervised by a training captain.
At a point during the flight the captain turned to the bright young thing and said: "
"Do you know we're over the Bay of Biscay ?"
The BYT looked nonplussed and said:
"What's the Bay of Biscay ?"
I'm thinking that my next holiday will be at home.

They grow up quick! IIRC i read somewhere the average age of a US combat soldier in Vietnam was 19.

The part where the female candidate said to the check captain after a successful flight "thanks I really enjoyed that" to which the senior in the jump seat chirped in "that's the first time a female has ever said that to him" was very funny. Mind you I was surprised in this PC world we live in that he dared to say that.

Thought it ok, call me old fashioned; F/O called Cornelius, another chap Hemingway Thomson with the verbal tea - TRE? called Toby. Where are the guys that have started flying singles/twins come up through the ranks and called Harry who was a butcher
Basil, I quite agree. Very casual, sloppy, non-professional attitudes and some deplorable training standards...
Fortunately I haven't often had to fly with this bunch, now will I never do so again. 3 out of 4 landings on 2 easyJet flights last year (in benign day CAVOK light wind conditions) could best be described as...survivable. Just.

No formal qualifications required to apply , Simply a fat bank balance
Guys, there is a long thread in Jetblast about this programme, including episode 1. Suggest you read that as it is much more informative than what has been posted here.
