easyJet traveling allowance

Hey all, I have just signed up for this forum.

Is there anyone out there that could answer this question for me. If I would take a job as a cabin crew with easyJet based in Gatwick would they issue some sort of travel allowance? I live 30 min away from the base and it would cost me araund 10 pounds a day to go there and back again. I'm just not too sure if that would be a smart thing to do as the salary is not sky wrackingon the other hand, I really wanna take this job... someone please answer this for me.

Thanks(;

Hi,

Unfortunately you will not receive any travellling allowance to go to work! The allowances you earn are pretty good and soon mount up to give you a decent salary.
I worked for easyJet for 15 months and earned good money, you do work hard though so be prepared to work long days and double trips etc.

The criteria is that you should be able to commute to work within 90 minutes should you be called from standby etc, if you choose to live 30 minutes away then that is your at your own cost, I would suggest that you look at moving nearer to Gatwick Airport and find a house to share, you may find that the expenses you would incur commuting may work out cheaper if you rented nearer!

If you really want the job then I would recommend you go for it!

Good Luck!

Greenmoss,

Sorry to hear you didn't get through to the interview stage. I know myself what it's like to not be offered the next stage - it's heartbreaking. Unfortunately with this type of mass assessment, its possible for the shiniest diamond to miss the miners. I'm sure you're probably much more suited than the majority of candidates however this time it's just a case of re-applying in 6 months time. I always like to look on the bright side - who knows, this may have happened for a reason. A lot of it is down to luck and unfortunately if the assessor that day got out the wrong side of bed you'll feel the wrath! Just move on having learnt something, apply to other airlines in the mean time and get lots of interview experience. If only the whole interview experience wasn't so expensive!

Good luck and let us know how you do!

You must feel awful but believe me you can do better!! The people who recruit for easyjet CC are not the most highly trained in the world...It's low cost and training costs!!!! They might have SCCM/ACCM on their name badge but so what? How they treated people at the assesment stage is how easyjet treat employees....like a number. I can speak from experience as I work for them. You are better than this believe me and believe in yourself Don't let this one experience put you off.

You come across as somebody who would take the role of CC seriously. There are other airlines out there who would value that and recognise it at the recruitment stage. Apply to them!!!!!

Good luck Hun.

I couldn't disagree more. Besides, do you expect them to call everyone by name when 300-500 people turn up for assessment? You would be there all day. Sounds like you're a bit angry with the world. Yeah other airlines treat their crew so much better, take Virgin - taking on crew to make them redundant 3 months later. At least you know where you stand with easyJet. It's not nice to say but if you don't like it, leave it. Going around spouting negative BS isn't doing anyone good, let alone yourself! I could only imagine what it must be like for you - clearly so elite and working for EJ! Jees - you should be at the likes of Emirates or something.. I think you'd enjoy it there.

Yours,

Someone who doesn't take being CC seriously, apparently

Don't be so arrogant. I think lowcostdolly is in a much better position to comment, what with her working there now. She also correctly notes that recruiters are not god's gift and can get it wrong. Spend less time brown-nosing and making oh-so-hilarious cutting comments, and perhaps people will try listening to any points you'd like to make, rather than seeing the sarcasm and drawing the conclusion, as I have, that you're a know-it-all who really doesn't.

There are few things less dignified and more pathetic than failing at interview and complaining about it out loud and in public. Here's the news - the world doesn't revolve around you.

Stand up, brush yourself off and then move on... It happens to everybody. Better luck next time.

[lowcostdolly]

Thanks Captain Scooby

I was just too lazy to post a reply to the various rants as am busy filling in my emirates application form....not! Love the job I have thanks S88

By the way I've just checked my post again as it seemed to cause you so much personal offence. The only person who said you do not take the role of cc seriously was you

I was just trying to cheer up greenmoss......nothing more. Sorry if that annoyed you (or anyone else) but the post wasn't directed to you or any other ezy employee.

Hi all,

I'm new to the forum. Just submitted my apllication for Easyjet to be based at Edinburgh. I applied back in January and was contacted within 3 weeks to be invited to Luton for an assessment day, but as I was still at Uni was unable to attend. I hadn't expected to hear so fast as they hadn't even had Edinburgh vacancies advertised! Now I have my final exams ever next week so am hoping they will get back to me just as fast as last time, but no doubt this time it will take months, now that I am able to be flexible!

Oh well! I'll keep you updated

First, I wanna to say "thank" to all of you for encouraging me to keep trying. Thanks so much

I'm very interesting to work in some Airlines.
Thanks a lot.

Well, EasyJet just CLOSED the application for LGW.

You have to check the homepages of the airlines you are interested in. The information should be there.

Ryanair is hiring all the time in Europe and Qatar is hiring regularly for Doha base.

Put "cabin crew" and "flight attendant" and "air hostess" plus job/career in google and start your research! Start with www.aviationjobsearch.com and keep reading.

[AKLLGW]

I applied for LGW base a few weeks before it was closed. Now that it has been taken off of the recruitment site does anyone know how long it normally takes to hear anything?

[cherrycoke]

They just let A LOT of Temps go, so I wouldn't expect to hear anything till next year for LGW.

[AKLLGW]

thanks for that, so not many opportunities in the UK at the moment then.
