Pilot recruitment selection days – November 2010
As we have communicated before the only pilot entry point to a permanent easyJet pilot contract will be from the FlexiCrew pilot pool for the foreseeable future. All external recruitment has ceased (and did so 18 months ago) and the previously populated recruitment holding pools have been closed. In order to support our continued and planned expansion into Europe a further number of permanent easyJet contracts will soon become available primarily in France and Italy. All permanent contracts will be offered from 01 January 2010. To ensure that we get the best pilots for these roles we will be holding an open and transparent selection process for these opportunities. Suitably qualified FlexiCrew pilots currently flying for easyJet from both CTC Parc Aviation will soon be invited to apply for these permanent positions. We will be holding pilot selection/ recruitment days on a number of days in November 2010 to ensure that we employ the best pilots for these positions.
More information about the criteria required to apply for these positions in addition to the application process will follow in the coming weeks……watch this space!
