EasyJet - Wannabes & Recruitment

[G-TTIC]

Hi Libra,

As far as I'm aware that scheme finished in 2007. All new entrants are now hired on shorter fixed term contracts and I think recruitment activities have stopped in Australia.

Email them and found out for definite.

As for nightstops, it depends on your base. Some bases send crew on multi-day trips to support new/undercrewed bases, and some have regular scheduled nightstops such as AGP, BFS and MXP from LGW.

Hi Libra,

If you do find out anything more about them hiring Aussies I'd love to know - that'd def be a great working holiday!

easyJet

Hi all,

I've been offered an interview with easyJet but live right on the edge of the 90 minute travel to work rule. To be honest I'm now wondering whether this drive every day and back is going to get the better of me...

What are the rosters like and does anyone else do this longish commute each day???

Cheers for your help

Hi there,
I work for easyjet and live over an hour away from base, it is hard work and have been doing the long drive for over two years.
You do get used to it and I leave my house an hour and half before my report time, a few time's it has taken me over 3 hours to get home due to traffic and after a 12 hour shift it's not fun.
any more questions drop me an pm,
SJ

There is quite a lot of people who do it with 60 to 90 minutes drives so it's definitely do-able.
Personally, I couldn't do it, and I would hate it, especially when on Stand-by. But then, I guess it depends how much you want/need the job...and what kind of person you are.
You certainly have nothing to loose going to the interview....and after all, it's only fixed term contracts anyway so if you don't like it you can just not renew your contract even if you get offered another one after your initial one runs out.

Best of luck

Easyjet training start 10th march 2009

Anyone starting training at Luton on March 10th?

[student88]

I left easyJet in Jan 08'. When I was there it was a fantastic airline to work for - from what i've heard things have gone down hill a little but thats generally the same with every other carrier in these testing times. The cabin crew work 6 on 3 off generally consisting of 3 earlies and 3 lates. Training is good - 4 weeks. You'll have to pay £100 towards the stay at the Ramada hotel in Luton which is so much better than the Ibis the new recruits had to stay in! I dont remember having to pay for my ID but apparently that's the case now (£160 i was told). Pay is great - in comparisson generally better than your average BA LGW contract. The crew have a fantastic new uniform which I was very lucky to model for promotional photos. I had great pride wearing it even though it didnt fit me very well.If you don't like hard work easyJet isnt the airline for you. In the summer pretty much every flight is busy - I generally made my most money on the AGPs. Everyone used to bitch and moan about these flights but I loved them, You had a real opportunity to sell sell sell and you generally got to met some great characters along the way - and some not so great ones too. Always had faith in the flight crews - you're always going to get the younger FOs who think they're amazing looking like they've just stepped off the set from Top Gun, only to walk into the car park and drive home in their Nissan Micra. In my 2 years there I was only sent away to Milan, Berlin, Edinburgh and Gatwick as my "trips" even though I was considered Long Range (willing to be sent away). Theres always the chance to swap trips with crews who've been rostered them who have home life/children to deal with. The two weeks in MXP were amazing - only doing one or two flights in the morning having the rest of the day to laze beside the pool working on that tan. Staff travel generally was great for me - my family live in Spain. I got to go away for my days off for around £40-£50 which was ace. My family loved using it too - you get to put 3 others on your Staff Travel (unaccompanied). The crew I got to work with were the best part of the job. I was based at Stansted Airport in Essex and can say I flew with a fab crew every day. However, as I've said before things have changed and it has been said to me on numerous occasions that the company are not recruiting to the same standard as they were previously. It may sound harsh but sometimes truth hurts. As for being professional, it depends on your SCCM. I've heard reports of crews playing bingo on board and competitons in the cabin - that's not my style and can say that never happened on any of my flights whilst I was there. I'm up for fun, al be it in a professional and safe manner! Hope that helps! (please excuse spelling, firefox upgrade disabled my spellcheck!)

p.s. I ALWAYS looked forward to going into work!

Hey guys,

I've been considering applying for easyJet for a few years now but found out I only can do so for EZ Swiss due to administrative requirements (can't work in the UK, even though I'm only interested in bases on the continent). So, any rumors that there's gonna be any vacancies in Geneva or Basel? Or is LX just too strong at the moment for that to happen? Any thoughts would be apreciated as well.
Cheers
