A lot changes in a year. Congratulations to him, but he is certainly in the very small minority.

Hi Fox
I did contact them for the same thing (I'm in the same situation with being offered MPL route 1) and pretty much was told if you haven't been offered the funding at the time, you won't get it. (Then again, I did speak to them many weeks after the offer as I has been trying to locate some unsecured loans from banks)
There was some confusion with both CTC and EasyJet saying the other party was responsible for deciding who gets the funding with the last explanation given to me being that it is mainly easyJet's (with some slight input from CTC) so I would say that given they have seen your file, they would have offered to help if they wanted to.
If you still want to talk to them, I would search for the general recruitment number (I would provide it but I seem to have lost it) and ask to speak to somebody responsible for the Generation EasyJet pilot recruitment. Maybe even ask for whoever the airline rep was at your interview stage.
Good Luck!

Interesting news that CTC/L3 are saying loan underwriting is now not possible? Their website still states that it's an option for "particularly outstanding candidates" but it's always been a pretty vague and unlikely option IMO.
Did they say under what circumstances it might be available, if any?

IMO I think offering to underwrite loans for candidates was something half heartedly put on the webpage because they announced they would underwrite loans for female applicants through the Amy Johnson initiative.
I would keep trying too... if someone told me I couldn't ask for it, I probably still would if I had no other options. Whats the worst that can happen?
Good luck!

Hey guys, been offered a place on the MPL (route 1) and would like to contact easyJet in order to put a case forward for underwriting. I've been told that this is not possible by CTC but would like to give it a crack regardless. Anyone had any experience with the way that easyJet runs this scheme/who is responsible for it? Not really sure of the best person to try and reach out to.
Thanks a lot !

Seems a bit vague regarding underwriting..false hope???
Question:
No doubt all candidates intend to commit to EasyJet post training but what happens your licence if they let you go after the first season (as happen some pilot I know) are you locked into MPL limbo as you need to complete 1500hrs to be fully fledged?
Please forgive my lack of knowledge on the detailed requirements, I know each program is approved on merit by local aviation authority,
Anybody know?

However, if there was a market downturn and no one needed new cadets, or the type rating was for an aircraft not widely used then I don't think the prospects would be good.
That being said, EasyJet is in a very strong position and the chances of that happening are highly unlikely (not impossible). It is unlikely enough for most people (and myself) to want to bet on anyway.

Just been told I have passed my stage 3, now waiting for easyJet's decision. I have 2 questions for anyone will to share their knowhow:
Firstly does this mean that if I don't get selected by easyJet that I will be offered whitetail?
Secondly how long have others waited to hear about easyJet's decision?
Thanks

I, and most of the others heard within 3 weeks after our stage 3 at Dibden. A few haven't heard yet, but it's still only been 5 weeks, and CTC/L3 say it could possibly take 8... on our day, people received a mixture of route 1, 2 and 3...
Generally, to be put forward for easyJet, you will receive at least route 3... however, the e-mail states you have met L3's criteria, and not necessarily easyJet's, and I think last year someone on here mentioned being offered whitetail, and not route 1,2 or 3... but it seems only a minority, but to answer your question, to be told you've met L3's standards, that is essentially saying that if you don't get an easyJet route, you have a whitetail offer

No one gets "let go" from eJ. Once you're on the line, MPL or fATPL, then you have an interview for your permanent contract after 12-15 months. Thereafter you are a on a permanent contract and will not "let go" unless dismissed for an number of reasons.
I have heard of guys failing the initial flexi-to-perm interview, but they all subsequently passed at the second attempt. Remember during the flexi year you can be dismissed with no notice for any disciplinary reasons, so any one who claims to be have been "let go" will probably be covering something. As with any job though, keep your head down and don't try not to draw attention to yourself!
I also know of one MPL chap who failed his initial line training so he was never released onto the line- this would be classed as a training failure.

Hey guys!
I've got my stage 2 at OAA soon and I was just wondering what tests come up in the ADAPT assessment so I can prepare for these.
Any help would be greatly appropriated.
Thanks!

hey, firstly they send you a personality questionnaire to do a few days before. once there you have to do a progressive maths test, physics test, and a bit of a weird one where you spot shapes in things and remember number sequences. after that there's like a flying test and then the FAST test where you are overloaded with information and then have to recall some parts in a set of questions at the end, you get to do it twice and the main thing they want is for you to improve your score from the first time. after that it's the red dot test, then you go home.
the oaa latest pilot jobs prep is virtually identical so i would recommend using that if you want to prepare thoroughly!
the administrator lady is super nice and makes it really relaxed, so like she emphasises that u aren't locked in, and are allowed to leave the room as and when you wish for short breaks; i did twice as it broke the testing up a bit and helped keep me relaxed. some people do just prefer to hammer through though!
overall it's quite a good afternoon out so best of look and hopefully see you at stage 3!
