I do not think that some of you read thoroughly enough. Cos it also states on the introduction page, FACTORED HOURS, that if you multiply your Turbine/Multicrew/Airline hours by 0.7 (0.8 for command) these can be counted as the 500, so about 750 needed on TP to have the necessary Easy 500hrs on a medium to heavy jet. Therefore you can direct entry with turboprop hours, in fact a good friend of mine has done just this.
You are not going to get direct entry with only a type rating and 50 hours and no multicrew / airline and only the minimum SP hours gained whilst training for the fATPL.

How long to wait when you received that email from EZY?
Dear....
Thank you for your recent application for the role of Pilot.
We are pleased to inform you that, after careful consideration, you have successfully progressed to the next stage of our recruitment process.
Your name has been added to our hold list and you will be contacted once a relevant assessment date becomes available.
Please note however that, as our Pilot requirements on both fleets are highly changeable, impacting directly the entry streams we are able to offer, we are unfortunately unable to give an exact timeframe for invitation to assessment.
Thank you once again for your interest in easyJet and hope to be contacting you again in the near future.
Best Regards,

Easyjet
The Easyjet website is not very clear.
I am not type rated and do not have 500hrs multi crew experience. So I looked at the TRSS scheme which says its for those without multicrew airline experience.
However, further down the page on the list of requirements for the TRSS scheme it says I need, min 1500hrs, 500hrs multi crew ??
Is it clear to anyone else?

It looks that way but just so unlikely... why 50?! 2 or 300 hours would be a much more useful amount of experience and they'd still get more than enough decent applicants.
Anyone actually asked them yet? Surprised we don't had a a definitive answer!

See today's thread on T&E - TRSS for direct entry is being dropped. I reckon because they are beginning to have trouble finding the numbers they need. Watch the website for further developments which may affect us wannabes...

this mean that we don' t have to pay a t/rating anymore ...unless we have a serious job proposition.
this market is going to change very rapidly in our favor.
Easyjet asks now for t/r +50 hours. This means many pilots coming from LCC like wizzair, vueling,...will move to easy jet after 1-3 months for a better pay.
these empty seats will need pilots, and they will be forced to reduce their minimum requirement to 750h or even 500h total time.OR BOND PILOTS TO FORCE THEM TO STAY!!!!
I know that LCC needs hundred of pilots for 2007. Easyjet:over 400, vueling:100, Clickair:100-200(not sure), wizzair:50-100, ryanair :100-200(not sure), airberlin, BMI baby, first choice, etc etc,...

According to EZ's recent recruitment announcements the 50 hour on type requirement is to allow them to tap into the market of pilots who pay for ratings and line training.

EZY require 450 new pilots next year in addition to the 350 this year. Those are huge numbers.
Wherever you are in the foodchain these sorts of numbers can only have a positive effect. Ryanair have a slightly smaller but similar recruitment need. Then factor in all the other airlines plus the growing attraction of experienced pilots leaving Europe to go contracting in more exotic climes.
The good times are well and truly back.
I remember the industry being all of a flutter because BA needed 250 new pilots a year in 1998/99.. Competition for jobs will be fierce. Nevertheless the sheer sapping misery of there being No Movement will be gone.
Good luck,

Yup, just repeating their statement for the benefit of this thread. Hopefully the influx through this stream will be minimal adding little encouragement to other potential Type Rating self-funders. I imagine EZ would rather recruit through their more reliable streams though would still like to have this side of the market open to them in this time of expansion. (I don't mean any negative feeling towards those that have pursued this route, just wouldn't like to see it encouraged!)
Dancing with the devil, going with the flow... it's all a game to me.

And think what the requirements will be lowered to when not enough f/ATPL's are paying for a TR....
Time to be smart and unite together methinks.
But we're job seeking pilots so there's no question of that!
Now more than ever: Do not pay for your Type Rating

to all airlines,
I am a commercial pilot with a JAA license.
I will stay longer than 50hours if you pay me a t/rating and good money.
If you dont , I will move to Easy Jet after 2-3 weeks.
Of course, I wont tell you during the interview and I wont show up to get my flight the third week.(try to get somebody else, I doubt you will find any available pilot)
Please send me your condition, so I can start to make my own list...
and don't forget my 300 euro for your interview
