Just reporting this, surely most of you had read it already:
Sep 06. Latest advertising in Flight International does not mention any hours limit for application. They quote 'we would be pleased to hear from any with the right motivation.' PILOT RECRUITMENT OPEN DAY - Hilton Hotel, Copenhagen Airport on MONDAY 25 SEPTEMBER from1100 -1500.
Does it make sense or is it just misunderstanding of the new 50 hrs reqs? I wonder if anyone is planning to get there and see what happens. Ii I had the cash I would do it myself and start the pan-EU new frontier of knocking door...! Expensive but must be fun.

Hi,
I've heard that you only need 50 hrs if you are rated, but 50 hrs after the line check. Which means roughly 120 hrs. Just because you're not considered as fully rated before the line check.

EJ: can you pay for your own
Me: no, sorry can't afford it
EJ: well go away and come back when you have

I read their website:
' If you are interested in joining us as a co-pilot and already hold a licence, but only have limited commercial aviation experience, you could qualify for entry under our Type Rating Sponsorship Scheme.
You will appreciate that we need to ensure that you are properly prepared to be a member of our professional team (our training standards are high), so we may require that you undergo an Advanced Handling Course to prepare you for the Type Rating Training.
Our basic requirements are as follows:
Air Transport Pilots Licence (or frozen ATPL)(UK and JAA)
Class 1 Medical
The ability to work and reside in the EU or Switzerland depending on your base preference
Under 60 years of age (our current retirement age is 60 due to European airspace regulations) '
Well I meet these requirements, so i filled out the form and today the response was:
Your answers to the initial screening questions have been reviewed but unfortunately you do not appear to have met our minimum entry requirements and your application will therefore not be progressed further at this time
So who knows! They need to be clear on their website I think!

Well, without having the nr´s in my head Im pretty sure that the message has been clear in recent road showes/adds - MIN 500 hrs multi crew on jet/medium/heavy turboprop...As I understand it we still have quite a few very experienced pilots applying (AND being rejected
) and therefore we will not take anything less then this. Hope this helps you guys trying to get your names in there for an interview..
Good luck!

From what I can read into on their website, I would suggest that the TRSS scheme is for those who have commercial experience, but not on a jet – ie a TP.
SinBin, from a look at your profile and I assume it is up to date, I can’t see how you (like me) meet these requirements.
If you look further down the page on Easy’s webpage it says the following:
What qualifications do I need?
You must hold a JAA or UK frozen/unfrozen ATPL and MCC and have a minimum total experience of 1,500 hours including a minimum of 500 hours multi-crew commercial experience ranging from medium/heavy turboprop to medium/heavy jets or military background (heavy transport, fast jet or multi crew rotary).
- There is absolutely no doubt in my mind as to the type of pilot this scheme applies to.
Guys and gals with shiny new licenses that feel the need to try and get a job on a nice shiny jet should be applying through CTC for their AQC/MCC and you would join at cadet level - (cadet level I assume from the EJ website as it doesn’t clearly say).

May i refer you to this link:
https://www.adapthr.com/easyjet/website/home.asp
which is on their recruitment pages, and then click on the bottom button.
There is NO mention of the hours you speak of!

SinBin,
I'd hesitate a guess at the words "limited commercial aviation experience" suggesting more than a just a CPL and IR, something along the lines of TP experience. Also, you quoted previously their Basic Requirements, which are just that - basic!
The following link will take you to the TRSS page or Easy's website, the hour requirements are detailed there under frequently asked questions. EasyJet TRSS Webpage
If you have a look on the following page, it details their requirements for pilots with <500hrs. Easyjet Current Requirements
It's just the way it is. Like or lump it as they say....
Best of luck!

I was on a recent advanced handling course at CTC, and there were four EZY guys on the course with me.
The course lasts 5 days, and there are 16 hrs in a fixed base 737-300 or 737-800 sim. No auto-pilot or auto-throttle is allowed for any of the flying. It is a fairly relaxed affair, just try and learn the SOPs they send to you before you get there. A session or two on the cardboard bomber after the first detail should get you in swing of things to learn the checks and SOPs to a good standard.
The instructors were good, alhough there are some differences between them. The final detail seemed to either be another training session, but some instructors preferred to have no training input and treated the last session as a check-ride.
You can read your report after each detail, and you are marked as either Normal+, Normal, Slow, Review. Don't get any ticks in the review box, the slow is a 'kick up the arse' and a normal is good enough to pass. Make sure the ticks are all in the normal box at the last detail.

How does the advanced handling course work? What is covered in the groundschool? What does the sim cover, typical profiles etc? What is the success fail rate. Generally any info would be welcome.

experience?
congratulations!!
what is your experience to get there?
they turned me down with 1500 hours of propeller single pilot ......
I think I need a type rating, or I will not go anywhere....
250 hours plus type rating, takes you further than 1500 hours instructing on propelled piston aircraft, I guess....
it is all about being in the right time, at the right moment and with lots of money to spend too.
