My experience is very similar to yours but personally I am thinking 2-4 years down the track.
All the best
No pay for 4-6weeks
90% pay for 6 months
No comitment from EZY until you have passed your LST
Not told your base until 1 month before you join. This isnt a big deal i know but when the main reason for joining ezy is to get a specific base then it does become a big deal. Especially when the bases are at different ends of the country or even in Ireland!
Pay 3k for an AHC before you get the definite job offer from Ezy
Pay off your airline bond in full before joining Ezy
Purchase a laptop for the traning course
Pay for your own uniform
Yes the money isnt bad but you do work very hard for it.
The planes are new which is a big advantage.
All in all it just makes you feel a little like a pawn on a chess board. Even main stream, none flying jobs dont have these kinds of terms and conditions.
I just dont want to work for another low cost airline. I already work for one and want to move to an ailrine who will pay for my TR. If i have to wait for that day then so be it!
But like yourself Rossco, if in 4 yrs time i havent found a jet job with over 3000turbine hrs then i may have to look at Easyjet and you never know the TRSS will probably have been abolished by then!
Good Luck
