Hello
I am going to submit my application as well.
I've read this thread but not found answers for these questions :
If one already holds a PPL, can the training costs be reduced, even by a bit ?
I read that holding a degree and/or professional experience is a plus, is it really the case ?
What are typical time scales between application and first answer, selection, and beginning of training ?
What does the assesment process look like ? What will happen during this interview day ?
Do we have an idea of the number of candidates vs number of candidates selected for selection days vs number of accepted candidates ?
Who the
are we supposed to give as referees ? They want people having known us for more than 5 years without being relatives or friends.. People who I've known for more than 5 years usually become friends...
Thanks very much

Would be good to get an insight into some of the T+C's of this.
UK base? Salary? Would we be directly employed by easyJet, or on one of this temporary contracts that needs renewed after 3 years? The security bond is repaid "once full employed by easyJet"; is this from day 1 flying the A320 or (dependent on my previous question), do we still need to have a permanent type contract with EZY (In which there is no guarantee?)
I'm not being negative, more a realist in terms of thinking of long term employment and loan repayments.
Cheers!

I don't think a UK base is guaranteed anymore, perhaps even less likely now given the recent opening of bases in MAD and BCN (that's based on the assumption that cadets will be sent there, don't take my word for it!).

Sincerelly, do not expect to recover the security bond. Only if you are employed directly by EZY in a UK base you will get it back, so in the short term do not even think about it.
The price of flying an orange 320 is £109,000 (138.000€) plus living and other expenses and that's it.

The wooly wording in the brochure and on the CTC page and lack of clarity regarding some very important T&Cs just makes me very nervous. I feared that the above may be true!

Sound me out people.
Is it not something like....
1st year as a cadet circa £18k
2nd & 3rd year - fixed term contract as a second officer circa £41k/yr
4th year - signed on to permanent contract as first officer, £45k rising to £57k plus flying pay, pension and perks?
Easyjet has DE contracts on offer for first officers in Europe, probably as part of their 'turn Europe orange' plans. Maybe you would get a perm contract quicker after training if you were willing to go to the continent??
All speculation on my part folks....

That £18k first year would be a killer.
Its another interview process though to upgrade your fixed term to permanent isn't it? I'm sure I've heard of people being unsuccessful at this point.
Would be great to get some clarity from someone possibly going through the EZY MPL at the moment!

Would you have salaries in € ?
My idea of the easyjet salary was a typical 5000 (including all flights, net income) per month, is that not the case ?
Let's forget that "cadet year" (which is a shame by the way...) and talk about how much flying pays can account to during two years as second officer ?
What happens if you don't get the permanent position ?
Thanks

KayPam,
Nobody, including me, really knows for sure what mpl graduates would be offered after training because airlines change contracts constantly.
However, I certainly can tell you that no FO in any airline earns €5000 net, more like €5000 gross. Maybe a FO at BA/AF/Lufthansa with 15 years seniority and training duties might earn €5000 net.
Check out the EJ career page on their website and you will see the contracts EJ is currently offering at EU bases but, bear in mind these are for experienced FOs. It would be reasonable to suggest that any cadets would be offered lower terms initially.
Ps, I tried to insert the links to EJ website but it won't work, sorry!

Re
Hi jswift98
So you are completing your first year of AS Level? If so, I'm afraid you can't apply as you need to be at the end of your final year of A Levels so you can meet easyJet's requirements.
Education Requirements:
-Be at least 18 years of age
-Hold a minimum of 5 GCSEs (or equivalent) Grade C or above, including maths, science and English language
-Hold a minimum of 2 A-levels with predicted or achieved grades of C and above* (excluding general studies and critical thinking) Please be aware that if you are offered a place on the programme, you will not be able to begin until you are awarded your final grades. Those who do not achieve required grades may still have the opportunity to join easyJet through another CTC Aviation route.
If you meant that you were completing you final year of A Levels, then certainly apply!

I've been critical of Easyjet and various other airlines on here in the past for their cadet recruitment so it's only fair really that I congratulate them this time. The opportunity to get loan guarantees is a game-changer for lots of potential applicants.
Beware though, 109,000 is a huge amount of money to take out and there is no guaranteed bond repayment like BA FPP. Loan repayments could easily hit 1500/month if interest rates rise. Take 15k+ off your salary before you start and the figures don't look so rosy...

MaverickPrime, completely wrong. You don't need 15 years seniority and a TRE position at BA to net €5,000 a month. That's what you'll earn as bog standard F/O in year one! In fact you'll earn around €5,500 net on average.
