Today, ezy are looking to base new entrants mainly at EMA, STN & LGW. This situation could of course change next week!
Initial base is notified one calender month before course starts.
Base transfer scheme works from date of putting name on list (it's about the only "seniority" based scheme in the company) and new joiners can get on the list immediately.
Of course it's nice to see type rated pilots, but they get no special treatment at the recruitment workshops.
About 200 pilots required this year, mainly all FO's; there may be a need for a few DEC's, but only a very few.
Courses, initial and refresher, running every month for the forseeable future.
This is all factual, unless you know otherwise!
