Here's a reminder of what was proposed:
Congratulations on getting through to the next stage of the recruitment process for the role of First Officer with easyJet. The interest in the opportunity has been significant and, as a result, competition for places with us has been tough, so you have done really well to get this far.
We are now completing our final review of applications and CV’s and will be short listing the candidates that will be invited to an easyJet assessment centre in the next 2 weeks. If you are successful following final shortlisting you will receive an invitation to book yourself on to an assessment centre, so please look out for this and log in to see the available dates and times as soon as you can.
If you are invited to an assessment centre we will go through more information with you on the types of contract and locations which are available.
However, just as a reminder, we will be offering both permanent and contract opportunities, both in the UK and across our mainland European bases. Contract opportunities
also lead to a permanent easyJet contract, pending further assessment, after 12 months have elapsed.
We are really looking forward to meeting you. Please stay in touch and if anything should change in your circumstances which might affect your application, please contact us at
[email protected]
Kind regards
Pilot Recruitment Team
Take note and ask yourselves what the hell they implied by saying "Contract opportunities also lead to a permanent position"?
They make you jump through hoops, waste your time, effort and money only to spit on you. The whole recruitment campaign is now looking like it was designed to be a smokescreen from the outset. BALPA applied pressure to have pilots from all sorts of backgrounds be given a chance. But the truth is, most air-breathing mature and wise adults could never accept such a poor deal. Are we to believe EZY didn't know that in the beginning? Well at least the airline can now turnaround and tell BALPA that they tried! Hiring more kids on zero hour slavery contracts with guarantee-less terms is the only thing that fits the EZY model of mega profits and there's nothing BALPA can do to negotiate salary terms for new hires! Case closed.
I despair.
