Sicky,
I appreciate that, however the website clearly states that the scheme is designed for guys with no commercial experience, it just contradicts itself.
Captain, there just seems to be no logic, will resort to
again

Easyjet Technical test.
I have an interview coming up with Easyjet. Can anybody tell me what the best book is to help me prepare for my Tech test??
I seem to recall someone saying that the Cathay Pacific book is good....
Cheers

Having never been to an Interview i cant help, but i have read through two of the Cathay Interview books and can see most questions can be turned around to other airlines. 747 Questions are obviously no good to Easy Jet, but i am sure they can be converted to A320 and 737 questions.
I have noticed there are other Generic interview books around on the net for Airline interviews. But all these cost ££, the Cathay books are short of £50.
I think the whole Aviation Training and Employment thing is a big circle of seen how much money they can take you for. I dont think i am speaking out of line as the Airline industry is not the only industry that has high training costs, but most other industrys pay for this training. And when i was thinking of becoming an IT Pro, I got loads and loads of PDF downloads with interviews tips, etc. And most IT interviews have a technical element just like the airline ones.
The mould needs to be broken, people who take theses interviews need to post or write a good article of what the interview was like, and some of the questions that they can remember.

Longchop,
Read the Cathay book, and the Ace pilot interview book by Gary Bristow and learn them inside out and you will be very well prepared for the written test and the technical interview.
Good luck.

Easyjet application
Once you have filled in the complete application 'program' (=form) and all the items are checked for ok, do you have to print the form and sent it to them, or do the automatically receive a message that you have finished the form?

It's all online mate. Results have been varied as to whether it's accepted or rejected. Identical forms have had different results based on the website's whim.
Best of luck

CAT3C AUTOLAND,
I finished my TR with easyJet last month. On my course we had all three types of entrants. DEP's who came from medium jets, TRSS's who came from turbo-props, and the rest were split between CTC ATP candidates (including a couple of flying instructors) and CTC Wings cadets. It was exactly as the web-site states.
Hope this helps.
TRSS - Joining easyJet without medium/heavy multi-crew commercial jet experience.) If you hold a licence but have no commercial experience on a medium/heavy jet, you could qualify for entry under our Type Rating Sponsorship Scheme.
Hope this helps.

yes the website is updated !
As far as I have understood, the minimum for F/Os is still 500 hours JAR25 and then 2 options:
* A320 or B737 type rated with at least 50 hours on type. Obviously no Bond.
or
* No type rated on A320 nor B737: TRSS scheme with a 5 years bond

Its correct, and the site apprears to have been updated now......
http://www.easyjet.com/EN/Jobs/Pilot...bus_rated.html
This makes spending that extra £30K even more tempting !
But I guess it also shows that the pool of 1500+ hours pilots is drying up and maybe the light at the end of the tunnel is a little brighter for 2007 !!!!

Big Mister,
I am affraid it is still "clearly" mentioned :
500 hours JAR25 is the very strict minimum, that is why they cannot lower it.

Direct Entry Co-Pilots need a minimum of 500 hours multi-crew commercial experience on any medium to heavy jet.

True but we are not talking about those guys we are talking about Type rated pilots.
The website isnt much help at the next layer of the application.
Have a click on any of the 3 options available and they list all the 'basic requirements' as the same......
Dear Mr Easyjet
You might consider the need to clear that up a bit or EasyJet will be faced with a lot of time wasting applications ?

I agree this website is a mess !!!However, It is clear :
Direct Entry Pilots (for pilots wishing to join easyJet with multi-crew, commercial experience on ANY medium/heavy jet)
TRSS (Type Rated Sponsorship Scheme) (for pilots wishing to join easyJet with multi-crew commercial experience, ranging from medium/heavy turboprop or multi-crew rotary to light jet or military background (heavy transport, fast jet or multi crew rotary)
Cadet (for pilots wishing to join easyJet with little or no flying experience)
TRSS (Type Rated Sponsorship Scheme) (for pilots wishing to join easyJet with multi-crew commercial experience, ranging from medium/heavy turboprop or multi-crew rotary to light jet or military background (heavy transport, fast jet or multi crew rotary)
Cadet (for pilots wishing to join easyJet with little or no flying experience)
Type rated guys (with at least 50 hours on type) are considered as Direct entry Pilots.
When you click on Direct entry Pilots, you have 2 options: Captain or Copilots.
*Direct Entry Captains need a minimum of 3,000 factored hours total and a minimum of 500 factored hours in command of a medium to heavy commercial jet (current command).
*Direct Entry Co-Pilots need a minimum of 500 hours multi-crew commercial experience on any medium to heavy jet.
(Note that it is mentionned 500 hours on Jet and not on Turboprop)
