Just left easyJet, and there is NO requirement to speak any other language apart from English, regardless of base.
So if you'd like to base yourself in Europe, why not give it a go? You'd be on a UK contract, working on brand-new Airbus 319s with some of the friendliest crew around.
It's a good company to work for; work hard, get paid well (£1300-1400 for a junior).

Of course they do ! Why wouldn't they ? They're carrying French people and German people within France and Germany. Why would speaking English only be enough ? Get to grips with foreign languages and open your mind. You'll see, you'll love it.

I asked easyjet about workimg in Paris with basic french skills and here is their reply:
so that idea is thrown out of the window lol
(unless they wouldlet me get away with asking every pax "parlez vous anglais?")
If you wish to be based in Orly you will need to be able to speak fluent French, you will be tested

EasyJet do let existing crew who only speak English to transfer to their European bases (except for Geneva which is run as a seperate entity) but it'd seem that new entrants have to be fluent in the language of the country in which they wish to be based.
However I'd imagine they'll be recruiting shortly again for LGW (if not other bases as well) because there's several new routes being launched in the next few months and the turnover of staff there is as high as ever, so perhaps get them to get in touch with you when they do begin recruiting again or failing that just keep your ear to the ground!

My apologies, obviously there is a different set of rules for existing staff, as I was asked numerous times whether I'd like a 6 month transfer ORY, DTM or SXF.
For the record, I am fluent in 2 other languages, but not German or French.

ib16uk, LGW has been a base of EZY since November 2001. By the end of this November, I believe that more destinations will be served than at LTN. They have 9-10 a/c now, all but one or two being the A319.
I was with EZY for 3 years, I will never regret working there, but now I am on long haul, I don't think I could go back. In fact, if it weren't for them, I wouldn't be where I am today. The people there (well, flight and cabin crew anyway!) are fab, friendly bunch. Some days will be hard and others easy, but it tends to be good fun.
Oh, ib16uk, in answer to your question on another thread, the 737-300's being phased out. I've heard that the infamous YB, YC and YF have all gone!!!! Ask the longer serving crew about hose 3!!!!
Good luck in your applications guys!!!!

What about YB, or should I say YBonfire!!! How many times were there fire incidents? Cockpit fire into EDI, APU fire in BFS and the famous divert into NCL for the bin fire that was actually for dry ice!!!!! Classsic!!!!!!

Off Stand,
My line check as SCCM was on YE!!! Where we had to push two single carts together and pretend it was a double as there was only single stowage at the back! We also had a perspex bulkhead between them and us!
Now, THOSE were the days!!!
BTW, They still haven't fixed the gust lock on YF fwd door!!
Have had the pleasure of flying on the ex-go fleet alot recently... some of them certainly give our old babes a run for their money..!

do you still need another crew member to push the top tight hand corner of the fwd door to close it???? ( YF) hee hee. US airways have 2 YF style aircraft and they are not much better. lol
P.S wasn't YE the one which crashed in argentina a few weeks after we sold it???

I couldn't believe it when i could still see daylight after i closed that door!
Just out of interest does anyone know of a stn cc who injured her head on YF about two weeks ago, just like to know if she's alright, as when i left her she had a big patch on her head and was seeing double double. I didn't catch her name but i know she was spanish! She hit it off an open canister door the poor love while on a a/c swap.
Happy (and safe) flying

YE was def before my time!!!! JB had just been delivered when I started.
The forward door on YF was a joke. I was once called out to fly out of STN down the back on OX! Just before we pushed back in each sector, the Capt ran outside with a roll of speed tape, taping the fwd hold door handle closed as it had a habit of popping open! Apparently, when that a/c joined go, the lease was pay as you flight as it wasn't a great a/c to start off with, the ezy got their hands on it!!!! Hasn't stopped flying since!!!
Happy days!!!

Another two Yankee's have gone, YAY!
Shame we are not retiring any of the Essex fleet. If I have to fly on another Oscar I will cry. Plus, when are we going to get some Airbus action in Luton???? I know they are made of plastic, but at least they work!!
