Easyjet Switzerland
WhyByflier - I must be a colleague of yours as I fly for easyJet. I cannot add anything to the discussion about money as I don't work for easyJet Switzerland. I am not a lawyer but I don't believe easyJet Switzerland is a franchise; we are sister companies of easyJet plc that operate under two different AOC's. I stand to be corrected but I think a franchise is a completely different setup where the franchisee pays money to the franchiser for operating certain rights. I agree; to the passenger there should be no difference.
Thank you Nightstop, I wasn't aware of that. Would that not mean though that we should have two different board/management structures and are listed separately on the stock exchange; in effect two completely different companies?

Says it right there too. We have different management as a requirement of the AOC. Think KFC, Subway, Southern fried chicken or even McDonald's - they're all franchised.

Thank you. I feel enlightened but disappointed.
I shall look upon the easy Swiss crews in a completely new light and not at all part of the company I work for. Not brothers-in-arms but merely owned in part by the same people.

Step brothers in arms - we have the same management board, same paint scheme, same crap food and polyester uniform etc. Its a matter of convenience - we are the same company - Easyjet owns 49% of the company with a right to buy at a fixed value in 1998 the other 51%. It's the case because it's swiss law that a Swiss company needs to be majority swiss owned. It's all good brother

We are step brothers! I'm working for EZS. We can now fly G- registered aircraft on empty sectors and UK crews can fly HB- registered aircrafts.
Probably in the future more will follow...

Hi
As far as I concerned I know that EZY and EZS usually send out PFO emails but in my case I have been waiting since almost 2 months for an invitation or a PFO email from EZS. Is this the average wait time? Does anyone know if they are interviewing people in this period? Has someone been called yet? Thank you

And for an experienced type-rated joiner, anyone know what the current salary might be? Read previously about pay by the hour, is that still the case?
Also, any ideas on likely time to command? Is there any expansion anticipated?
Cheers.

Hi all, I second Bobbins with his questions.
I've been invited to an assessment, have asked these questions to HR, but they don't want to provide any info about the type of contract before the interview day.
Anyone already in the boat would be kind enough to help us out?
Is there a small chance that experienced guys can be recruited on a solid-Swiss contract or don't they make the difference between low timers and experienced guys?
Got 6000 hrs, 3000 Boeing time with PIC time. Not Airbus rated.
Thanks!
