I also found out on Saturday ( or should I say the very very nice lady from easyJet found out on my behalf ) that CTCs age restriction is going out the window very,very soon.
Last picture of the easyJet slides, I thought was a 737 and not an Airbus. Was this a test to see if anyone would challenge a easyJet training captain???? whilst on stage. Might be their new recruitment process. Did anyone else spot this.
Spoke to them about their requirement changes and it went as follows.
Me "Hello, I am 39 with 440 hours"
easyJet "Come to us with a type rating and 50 hours on type and we might look at you"
Me "Thanks, bye"
Not only are they encouraging guys to buy their own type ratings but they are now also asking that you try and get 50 hours on type.
They also said that they are having no problems what so ever getting guys into their company and that their requirements are ok.???????
450 pilots next year they need. Thats a lot and I would be interested to know where they think they are going to come from.
