Exclamation Word of caution:

Wizofoz:
When someone with a beef bitches to you, smile politely, than go fly your nice shiny jet.
As a Liverpool based Captain....
So thatīs where theyīre hiding all those nice and shiny jets..! In LPL! Havenīt seen any of them in LTN of STN lately. We only seem to get the īleft overī -300īs with APU inop, airstairs inop etc...

Wizofoz is right though, good airline to get high quality experience with. Go for it if you get the chance!

Base transfers are assigned in the order they are requested.
Problem with this is that the Base Tranfer list is not very transparent, i.e. not published on the EZY intranet, which leaves it subject to īchanges.ī Politics usually prevails over common sence, hence Wizofozīs advice: When someone with a beef bitches to you, smile politely, than go fly your nice shiny jet. Mind you, as you will most probaly be type frozen (they donīt tell you this during the interview!) it might be worth it trying to immediately get the base you are interested in. Example: if you end up as LTN based 737 rated, on the EDI waiting list and EDI changes to the A319 before you get there, then your name will most probably be taken off the base transfer list or you will be bonded yet again. (The procedure is not very clear what happens to type frozen people on the waiting list, when the desired base changes to Airbus)
