David, all easyJet pilots from 1st Jan 2019 will be moving onto the Austrian license. They are just transitioning you in line with this move. If it is anything like the IAA transferral, it is 2 forms to complete: One for the CAA and one for Austro Control.

All easyJet Europe employee’s are moving to an Austrian licence. All easyJet UK employee’s stay with the UK issued EASA licence.
I presume the request is more for the L3 course being an EASA MPL course, so will be easier for continuity to do the whole process with a European country. Therefore can receive an EASA MPL, which can be converted in the future if needed.

All new entrants to easyJet irrespective of base whom commence an induction post March 2019 will be required to hold an Austrian issued licence. This isn’t an L3 requirement at all, it’s actually asked of by the airline - given it be written on their orange letterhead (in my case).
Any existing U.K. based employees or any new and UK based employees starting work, but not training, before March can retain the UK CAA papers. A trainee starting their course soon would finish after March 2019 and thus require Austrian papers.
@David.98 - i’d ask the individual or organisation that’s asked you to do this for guidance. As others have said, a medical state of issue is just a paper or two to adjust.
Hope this helps.

Looking at applying for L3 Acadamey ATPL Course
Hello everyone,
New member here! Apologies if I've posted this in the incorrect space, i'm still getting to grips with the forum. I have dreamt of being a pilot from a very young age, and have done a couple of small flights in light aircraft recently and am now hooked.
I'm looking at applying for the L3 Academy for 2020 (I believe 2019 has already closed as couldn't find this on their website?) I had a few questions regarding transition from academy to job, and also funding.
I have looked around, but the only kind of funding I can find is Pegasus personal loans, but these need to be secured against property, which at 23 I do not own. I don't really have anything to go towards it currently, as I don't have a high salary. So i'd be looking to borrow the full £96,800 they quote for training. They also require the loan to be paid back from a month after taking the loan out, which I cannot understand how anyone would be able to as in training you're not earning? Does anyone of alternative funding available? Unfortunately my parents aren't a possibility for loaning the money to me, which is another recommendation I saw.
Secondly on completion of all training, how easy was it to get a job? L3 state they have a team dedicatd to getting you employed almost straight out of graduation?
Thanks,
Tobias

You need to look at the current situation at L3. Inform yourself of the current issues there and make a balanced decision. There are a lot of threads on this forum that have more information: ME/IR instructor shortage ?

Seems to me the more i’ve read about L3, the worse they become. Seems that when they were originally CTC they were a tonne better. If i’m honest i’m still unsure I can afford to do it, even though it’s been my dream for years.
Training costs at £110,000 for the MPL license, without cost of food and travel just seems unobtainable for someone like me. It’s okay for people that have money that can afford it, but not all of us are as blessed. And loans compaines for pilots licensing require you to start paying back a month after you take the loan out with no payment holiday, so finding the money every month, on top of full time learning is virtually impossible.
I can’t understand why airlines aren’t offering to cover costs, and deducting from wages once you’re working full time. I know Aer Lingus did in 2018 for 10 Cadets and I bet they were people similar in position to me.

I believe Aer Lingus opened it up again. I also believe MANY MANY cadets/FOs leave Aer Lingus at the first opportunity.

I haven’t seen much negative things about Aer lingus, but then again, i’m not in the industry so not 100% on who’s best to go for. But if i’m honest, anyone that would fund training i’d be interested in, as the oppertunity for someone like me would be too great to miss out on!
