If you considering joining EZY at the moment then my bit of advice at the moment is dont.
The company is on a cost cutting drive at the moment and this is being recognised by alot of the more senior guys who are leaving in their droves. We have had nine trainers/base captains/good guys give their notice lately. One of these captains was about as orange as they get....he is off to new pastures.
There is alot of change happening at the moment ( especially to our rosters) and in my opinion it is not for the best!
The chance of a quick command and the money associated with it(that is the only reason that people stay at EZY) has vanished in the past six months. There are currently approx 26 guys waiting for their commands, with no more boeing commands at the mo and the company stopping seat/type conversions where are they going to go.
Alot of people are trying to escape( emirates and etihad just need to sort out their t + c's) and it is purely because they have had enough. 900 hrs a year is do-able but not with the way we are rostered it. Spent three days in the back of a cab the other week, for a total of six sectors....very productive!!! To make it worse we dont even get paid for positioning in a taxi....but the cabin crew do!
They will tell you how great a lifestyle you will have and that you will be back at home every night...I can assure you this not true! When the magical cammand comes wher do you think it will be?...your home base....at the worst Luton....NOPE!!! It will be in some new EZY base somewhere in the middle of Europe.
Training is great though and you will fly with some great guys. You will also do loads of great flying but the novelty does wear off after a while.
All the best whatever you choose to do
