More on Easy bases
I have been offered a DEC job with easyJet. (yay!)
I have to give three months' notice from my current job, but I will only be given one months' notice by easyJet of what base I am to be assigned, in accordance with their standard terms and conditions.
I realise that past performance is no guide to future performance, but does anybody know if there is currently a waiting list of company pilots trying to get into Gatwick and Stansted - and if so, roughly how long? Or if they aren't up to strength and are likely to put me there anyway, in accordance with my preference? It's all very well moving for career and lifestyle reasons, but if the lifestyle doesn't work because it's in the wrong place, then ..... well, presumably you can see the point. (Yeah, I know others would give their right arm to be offered such a choice).
Also, I know that easy don't want people to nightstop, but is there a significant amount?
I understand the need to give priority to current company pilots, but this is the one area that really gives me cause to hesitate.
