Some more clarity.
Security Bond Repayment: Not as good as it seems on paper.This is not paid on top of your salary, so year 2 in EJ for example (in the UK) you’re looking at around £40k/41k; and so the security bond will be repaid at £12k per year. Therefore, your £40k salary will drop to £28k and the security bond will top this up to the £40k. The slight advantage here is that the £12k is tax free, so instead of the tax free allowance of £11k, your tax free allowance would be around £23k.
Employment: If you get a UK base then you go on a CTC flexicrew contract for up to 3 years with the opportunity to become employed by EJ permanently. If you get a European base you become employed by EJ immediately…but you don’t get your security bond back. However, the salary is slightly higher (in most EU bases) and you get all of the employee benefits from the start.

Maverick Prime, you're talking to a BA pilot I think I know what the net figure is on my payslip every month. I'm not going to start going into it in depth, the information is all freely available but suffice to say you have estimated the taxes and personal allowances completely wrong. If you're looking for a gross figure for a year one BA F/O it's just over £70k or €90k.
Anyway this thread is meant to be about easyJet. I just interjected because your assertion that you couldn't achieve €5k a month except if you had fifteen years of seniority in a legacy airline was completely laughable.
Of course Alex Cruz may have different ideas in years to come. After all, one lady wrote to him saying she was taking her business to Emirates in future and now we all have to make massive cuts to the business!

You won't hit the 40% tax rate in your first 3 years; the fact that the taxable salary is dropped from £40k to £28K means that your taxed 20% on £17K. The £12K bond repayment is tax free thus your complete tax free income is £23K with a £17K taxable = £40K

Thanks a lot for that - needed to know because I'm on holiday at the moment but it looks like I'm going to have to spend a bit of the holiday on it!

Hi Everyone,
I got my invite to assessment day also, sure beats a PFO!
I am away on the 2/6 but I have spoken to the team and there WILL be more dates after the 2nd. The very helpful lady said they should be added this/next week.
Hope that helps anyone in a similar position to me - good luck!

As for BA, my hat off to you then sir!
As for Alex Cruz, I hope he isn't another airline manager who views his employees as a liability!
I shall digress no further, back to easyJet....

Everyone still has a great chance in getting in for the first day of selection. That's if you meet all requirements. Every candidate has selected a date within the second part of the application stating 'how early can you start training'.
If for example, you have selected 20th of June 2016, the selection team will prioritise individuals who have selected an earlier date. I'm not saying this is ruling anyone out but they start with candidates who have selected the earliest times. (Only if successful through screening stage)
Additionally, if successful through screening stage, candidates are able to select from the available dates for Assessment one.
There will be various days to suit successful candidates of the screening process for Assessment one.
If you look at it this way, if you were unsuccessful you would have got a rejection Email. Just wait patiently, you will be notified soon.
I hope this helps
