Hi

Salaries are graded subject to experience,i would say salaries are above industry standard,there is also a bonus scheme which could equate upto 20% of annual salary depending on company and personal performance. The ability to lap dance is also highly favourable!

Thanks BIG E, sounds interesting! Any more info about Easyjet Ops and the set up in general would be much appreciated, what's the shift pattern like? How many people do you have working there? How is the NMC structured etc etc
Although the lap dancing does put me off a little i'd still like to hear more!!:)

Thanks paperpusher.
Any idea of the closing date for the job? I imagine that there will be numerous applications.
As an Ops Controller with 2 and a half years experience, could you guess what starting salary might be offered?
Obviously i have to get an interview first, but it sounds like a good place to work - coming from an Ops Department where moral is low and we're treated like children a change is needed!!

princesssariah

17th Oct 2006, 04:23

oops, i meant to say morale is low - obviously are morals and standards are not!!!!;)

kowlaski

17th Oct 2006, 12:12

Princessariah, the closing date I think is around the 20th and I know they have had a lot of applications, however a lot of them lack experience at all and handling a fleet of that size and complex of operation you ned to know up from down, send in an application, what have you got to loose?? you don't have to take the Job even if offered, however I think you would be pleasantly suprised, its not a bad place to be and the salaries are above industry standard at the moment,

princesssariah

17th Oct 2006, 19:49

Thank you Kowlaski.

What is the roster like with regards working christmas and new year? Obviously i know that this is just one of those things but i wondered how you guys sort it out there?

kowlaski

18th Oct 2006, 06:54

christmas roster works on preferances, those who prefer christmas request it off balanced out with those who request new year, taking into consideration those who worked last year also, mostly people get what they want.

Most that hold the required 2 years experience within an Ops/Dispatch environment will get an interview.

As previously stated EZY do pay an above industry standard salary and at present we are putting all staff through the FAA Dispatchers Licence course at the Sheffied School in FLL, the 6 so far all successful.
EZY Ops may not be perfect, but as an industry veteran, I can clearly state that there are one hell of a lot of places that are worse!

Do we know if interviews have actually commenced for the OPS + Crewing positions and if not selected, do people get notified of this or do they get ignored. I know EZY is a busy place so maybe they don't have time to reply to all applicants. Be nice to know either way though.

There are plenty of giveaways that people trying to find out who you are can latch on to. Best you show some lateral thinking and keep your head below the parapet. I have saved two of you from yourself and deleted your posts.

DarkLight

20th Nov 2006, 14:25

With all due respect bacardi, maybe you shouldn't take this so personally. You could request feedback as to why they didn't offer you an interview? Also, isn't it often the case that Ops departments want people with less experience so they are more easily adaptable to new ways of working?

If you have 20+ years experience why not aim a little higher? There's plenty of jobs about where your sort of experience would be highly sought after. :)

Well thats a laugh. EZY want less experienced people for 1 reason. They can pay them less. There are loads of people, me included, who are not even given an interview because we have experience. I have more than 15 years! I am not looking for a 9 to 5 I like the shifts because I like the time off and the work/life balance. I am disgusted by the was EZY has/is acting.

I thought that changes in employment law were supposed to stop this kind of abuse. Hopefully it will catch up on EZY soon, and with any luck cost them a fortune

princesssariah perhaps you could let us all know where these jobs where our experience would be highly sought after are, as I seem to be missing them!

What on earth are you talking about,easyjet have more than their fair share of experienced staff,are you saying people with less experience shouldn't be employed,where does that leave them?Easyjet has a good structured mix,did you apply for a position? Its not all about experience,its about your character,how you interact with the team etc,with an attitude like yours its hardly surprising you didn't get anywhere...

princesssariah

21st Nov 2006, 19:26

DarkLight

I have to agree with BIG E, your attitude doesn't paint you in the best light.

The way i see it is that different companies have different criteria for choosing somebody for a certain position, it's not really your place to judge whether it's about your experience or not because you simply don't know what process they are going through.

Ultimately they want to pick the best person for the job and if your 15 years worth of CV doesn't shine then maybe you should look at yourself instead of being so disgusted!

kowlaski

23rd Nov 2006, 15:49

BIG E has hit the nail on the head there, experience is'nt everything, attitude is everything, there is a good mix of experience at EZY and it works well, as for wanting to bring in less experience for low wage, well thats a laugh, how about, being able from to promote from within, giving existing ops people the chance to move up and then back fill, surely that than gives career progession which is good for team and good for morale. Just because you have 20+ years does not give you divine right, could be the case that an appointment like that could put noses out of joint and upsets balances and with the attitudes shown on this thread, maybe would have bee proved right!!!:{

Princess I'm not bitter believe me. Wise words though because after 6 years of trying to get into EZY, I shall leave them alone whether they want experience or not.

Comments on here like "everyone with 2 years or more of experience will be interviewed are somewhat misleading and can get peoples hopes up slightly. That said, the comment was later changed to "most people with 2 years etc etc".

Not sure if you got the job but if you did, well done. :D

Is it worth a try if you´re from Germany? I´m wondering if there are any restrictions regarding nationality? Or maybe issues from CAA?
If no, it also would be interesting to know how the pay slip looks like. As I searched the web, the cost of living around London area are a lot higher than over here.
Any idea what to expect with 12 years experience (incl. almost 7 years Ops Control).
Thanks

Sir Fatty
There are no nationality restrictions,in fact there is a large european workforce within the company including lots of germans,there are currently germans working in Ops currently so if anything it could be an advantage.Pay is higher than average and is scaled depending on experience and qualifications.
