Easy jet AQC + TR questions

[gbotley]

Byrondaf,

Great, thanks for confirming! Somewhat reassuring to hear that's the case given I will be hoping to join the carrier on finishing training at ctc in a little over a year.

Have a good new year, and enjoy your career.

Flexi is UK only btw. At continental bases you start on a permanent contract.

I'm told they're also thinking about getting rid of Flexi.

Flexi is in Germany too from what I'm told

Hi byrondaf,

Is it correct that after 2 years with easyJet on the flexicrew contract and a successful interview you will still only receive a SO permanent contract? If so, any ideas at what point you would be eligible to become an FO please?

On the website it says

"Successful candidates will be provided with a conditional offer of placement as an easyJet co-pilot and a place on CTC Aviation’s easyJet Airline Qualification Course (AQC) - an airline approved Multi-Crew Co-operation/Jet Orientation Course (MCC/JOC)."

Does anyone know, what is understood by "conditional offer"?

[tech log]

Conditional on not getting more than one Slow rating in AQC.

[AMS]

Conditional meaning that if you have a successful AQC you are then progressed to a TR and on successful completion of TR and LINE you are then on the CTC contract for 2 years to fly for EZY

What are the characteristics of the CTC contract?

The Italian contract is certainly one of the better ones. Last year all cadets were directly employed onto permanent contracts. Take home is roughly 4000 per month for SO, 5000 for FO and about 6000 for SFO. This is in part due to the Italian tax allowances for aircrew which means on average you lose about 20% off your gross.

Thanks PFDriver. It worked just fine. I saved the login as a favorite on my browser but one day it just stopped working. Strange !

I recieved "the email" yesterday. I'm invited to the next stage of selection. Anyone know how to prepare to the tests ? Thanks

@TheFlyingFrenchman66,

Selection at CTC hasn't changed much in some time so Googling terms such as "CTC Selection Tips" or "Dibden Manor Selection Day" or even searching those same terms on the PPRuNe forum search facility, you would most likely uncover posts and blogs of cadets on this very topic.

I did the same prior to attending Dibden back in 2014 and they were of great help to me.

Have a good new year celebration and I hope selection goes well for you.

[PFDriver]

Waiting for an available date on their website since the 23rd and checking it multiple times a day, has anybody been able to book a date since the 23rd?

[EZY_FR]

Not all bases in the EU offer permanent contracts from the word go. Those who start in Germany aren't put on flexicrew contracts, they are put on fixed term contracts instead.

[gbotley]

PFDriver,

As hard as the selection team work, I can imagine they also wind down for Christmas and new year too

Check again in the New Year and I'm sure you'll find some dates :-)

[PFDriver]

Of course

I was expecting that to happen, just making sure I wasn't being too lazy checking the website
