AFAIK they are not taking direct entry commands on the 737 unless you are too good to pass up. i.e. you've been a training manager or bring some kind of benefit easyJet can't find within its own ranks.

DTM is an Airbus base, again the same rules apply to the Airbus. No direct entry commands unless you have something that eJ needs.

DTM base is very oversubscribed with lots of Belgians and Dutch based there. Have a friend on the list and a while ago he was about the 14th Captain on the list waiting to be transferred. For a base with 3 aircraft the wait maybe long. However eJ want to grow their market share from 4% to 20% in Germany so expect other bases to open.

There are currently over 80 people waiting on the command list. Expect around 2 years (2 sim checks before nomination (1 year) and then time from nomination to selection to being offered a course date) at the moment from joining eJ to gaining a command if coming as an SFO.

No AMS base as AMS airport charges are horrendous so consequently no expansion.....
