So what exactly does "Please complete the assessments at your earliest convenience and no later than 7th May." mean ya suppose? Doing this from overseas so I obviously I know they mean UK time/date, but does anyone know how LATE it's open? 5pm? midnight?

John Smith, I applied, like many others, to see exactly what will be on offer if I prove to be successful.
For a major UK company to accept Non TR'd applicants is a step in the right direction. However, I believe there has been pressure from above (CAA, BALPA, government) regarding the current use of flexicrew as the situation becomes more public. (Some may suggest "pressure from below" more apt). Merely speculation on my behalf. But this recruitment drive is still geared towards taking flexicrew from CTC before any other applicants. Albeit with a permanent position (2yr contract) and the perks(haha) that go with it in exchange for less pay - flexicrew in sheep's clothing.
It would have to be nice offer for me to leave my jet command position overseas (bonded type rating).

Fantastic response Ecam. I don't know your background or your current position but you speak with obvious authority on the current situation. Yes, if what you say is correct, my allusions have certainly been adjusted.
It will be very interesting to see what the outcome of my application will be and whether any flexibility exists in the funding of type ratings.
The route to command is also very interesting.
Using your insight, when are candidates expected to hear from easy about the next stage of recruitment?

Some information
Finished online tests yesterday as well....
About the flexicrew stuff: is it like brookfield for RYR pilots? You are a contractor and basically they can do with you what they want and you don t have any rights like the permanent-contract-crew?
bases: Do they propose you a base during interview? Because I can imagine as Ecamsurprise says; if SFO positions are faster in Germany and France, everybody wants to go there!
TPR: is there any change that one would negotiate a bond??

One comment about command. Once you get it, expect to be shipped away from your base of choice to LGW 
Then a long wait follows as the waiting lists for continental bases are very long and the company seems to be head over heels in love with LGW and want to put as many planes as possible in there. Summer of 2013 has 58 airframes in LGW.

With Euro transfer being a hot topic, does anyone know if you can go across to the Swiss operation at any stage once through the door.
Quite fancy living near the mountains again...

MXP is also good for the mountains, and not far from the Swiss border. UK AOC to Swiss AOC transfers are not impossible but take much (years) longer than transfers within the UK AOC.

That I don't know. Deal's still being thrashed out as far as I know. (Note, I don't work for eJ, but the other half does.) Apparently there's some devil in the detail in the small print..

Redsnail and those interested,
In Italy it's 5354 for everyone until the next 1st of April (except for those serving their initial period on flexi roster).
Note: some Captains have voluntarily accepted flexi roster during this summer months with a salary uplift.
From, and including, 1st of April 2014, 5454 for everyone, then again, except for those who are still on their period as new joiners, who, after a specified time (based on experience and time served as flexicrew), will join the 5454 as everyone else.
Hope the above clarification helps.
And yes, continental Europe Captain transfer lists are quite long presently. But no one forces you to take up Command and move to LGW or wherever.
Lifestyle for many, including myself, it's much much more important than THE job upgrade
Best of luck to those on the recruitment drive!!

Does anyone have any idea when we are likely to start hearing about the online assessment results?
By the way, I found the "tunnel game" used in the assessment, online. It's a little late now but there we go.

I don't know anything about these online tests but I can't imagine there will be someone sat analysing each individual result?!
Hope we hear soon!
