What does the EasyJet Selfsponsered TR program means?
Is it cash up front?
A training bond, where each month money (cash up front) will be paid back to the employe, for eg. 2 or 3 years?
A training bond where the costs of the TR, will be deducted from the pay slip each month for eg. 2 or 3 years?
A training bond, for eg. 2 or 3 years, where you will have to pay back some money, if you decide to leave before the bonding expires?
Sorry for my ignorance....

NTR process and interview
Hi All,
It seems one of those threads in which many are asking questions but very few are getting answers so since I've recently completed the NTR assessment in LGW I will happily give my contribution.
During the company presentation they have asked us not to share any specific details regarding the interview with other possible candidates, and I intend to follow that instruction so please don't ask and don't be mad at me for that.
- I applied and after a day or two I received an email instructing me to complete an online assessment. Several excercises such as verbal reasoning, multitasking, spatial orientation and personality test. I'd say no preparation is needed and it's not as hard as a compass test but you still need to be fully concentrated so make sure you are alone and undisturbed for about 30/40 minutes.
- I received an email right after completion stating that I passed and my profile would have been reviewed.
- after a week I received a new email saying that my application had been review and that I was invited to the assessment. I then logged onto the Easyjet careers portal and booked myself in. I could choose between LGW and LTN.
- on the day of the assessment you show up either in the morning or in the afternoon depending on the slot you selected. It's a one day assessment so if you choose morning you do the sim before the interview. It works the other way around for the afternoon which was the slot I went for.
Everyone was extremely cool. Most of the recruiters were pilots and there was one HR recruiter. There may be two. After taking care of our paperwork in a one-to-one with a recruiter we all went up in a room for a company presentation. At the end of it you can ask questions if you have any. Afterwards we completed a group excercise. Remember to focus on the objective and to talk to each other. Good CRM is what they want to see.
After a little break we did the one-to-one non-technical interview. Not much I can say, just be yourself. They will send you a briefing that will give you an idea. Just follow their suggestions and guidelines.
At the end of it, we were taken to the sim center. The guys who completed the sim in the morning were free to go home.
- the sim was a simple ride. As we were non rated there were no failures. They just want to see how you fly and behave in the cockpit and how good your CRM is. You won't receive a sim briefing before the assessment, but the assessor will give you the charts and you'll have plenty of time to brief. He will be your sim buddy and will do what you ask him to do but remember that you are the PF so you make decisions. The only advise I would give is not to over control. It may happen if you are not used to a FBW/side stick aircraft. Be gentle, it's very sensitive but very easy to fly.
The whole ride will be without AP, FD and AT. You'll just fly as you did on a Cessna. You won't be de-briefed.
- after a week or so I received the good news and now I'm in the holding pool awaiting for a start date.
No idea when that phone call will come through to be honest. The first types will start from October on, so it could be next week or maybe in a few months.
I have been as thorough as I could. There isn't much else I know.
I wish you the best of luck. I had an extremely good impression. The recruiters are professionals and the process is one you would expect for a pilot position, unlike other employers that focus just on HR.
Ciao ciao

Can anyone tell me if the DEC pay for Lisbon has changed at all in the the last few years? Still 95-105 k Euro? Their current add suggests more...approximately 130k Euro.
Also wondering about any specifics about roster, base changes, and general terms.
I am trying to get all the facts before applying for a NTR DEC in Lisbon. If there are any current pilots at EZ who can help me I would really appreciate it.
Cheers

FO vs SFO contract
Hi I was wondering whether anyone at Easy could help with a query.
I'm looking for more info on the criteria for qualifying for an SFO contract vs FO contract, I understand that it depends on factored easyJet hours, but has anyone come across number of landings being part of the criteria?? Thanks

Again, totally country dependant. There are country where it is not even possible to join as SFO, countries where you need 2500 hours factorized and others where you need maybe 2000.
For UK contracts:
SFO- >2500 factored hours and full ATPL
(0.8 x your total hours for short haul jet FO)
(0.9x your total hours for short jet CPT)
(0.6x your total hours for long haul FO)
(0.7 x total hours for long haul CPT)
(0.7 x your total hours for Airline turbine FO)
(0.8 x your total hours for airline turbine CPT)
FO- >1250 factored hours
Upgrade to FO after a minimum of 24 months operating as FO.
No mention of number of landings in the calculation just whether you were P1 or P2. Hope that answers your question.

Forks one is indeed correct. Those figures are written in internal company manuals, that is what we use. I'm sure they're written down somewhere else as well, but they are accurate.

Thank you CMB. I presume one with above criteria would join directly as SFO then? I had heard (a while back I admit), that a SFO was a time based promotion.
